1996! It's easy for me to answer that one because it's the year I was born hahaha. I loved it right away, but my first exposure to it wasn't until season 9. Thanks for reading, Mike!
I didn’t pick the social commentary at first. Like you I walked in on someone else watching the show. The episode featured “Mister Hanky the Christmas Poo”, pushing my normally keen appreciation of humour so far over to the “ewwwwww” side that I lost my appetite.
Any other episode and I would have been an instant fan.
It really doesn't gain its footing as a show until season 5 or so. I have an appreciation for the first seasons, but it really is a far, far less mature show back then. I'm thankful that season 9 was my first real exposure.
I've been a SP fan ever since the very first episode. I wish I could remember how long ago that was. Great article.
