باب اسفنجی (Persians of Mashhad)

Release history
باب اسفنجی was first released on DVD by Parsian Home Video under the distributor TDH Home Entertainment, beginning in. Dozens of DVDs have been released since. Each one has multiple random or themed episodes. As a result, some episodes have been dubbed twice, or in some cases, have different music and effects tracks on different DVDs. For the earlier DVDs, they seemed to dub episodes in batches, typically based on the US DVDs. For example, the 1st movie and the Where's Gary? DVD were a batch, the Pest of the West DVD was a batch, the Truth or Square DVD (minus The Card) was a batch, the Viking-Sized Adventures DVD (with The Card) was a batch, the SpongeBob's Last Stand DVD was a batch, and so on. Later on they dubbed random episodes as part of a batch. Glory Entertainment, Asia Resane Cinema Home Entertainment, Kimiya, and Javaneh Company have also released DVDs containing this dub.
