I wasn't allowed to watch The Simpsons growing up so I really didn't start watching the show until I was 11 or 12 years old during season 14 (2002-2003), although it was still iffy whether I was supposed to be watching it or not so I would always have the doors closed and remote control in my hand ready to change the channel to Nickelodeon whenever it sounded like my parents were coming in. It quickly became one of my favorite cartoons for a couple years until I got into Family Guy which replaced it as my favorite, although I did enjoy The Simpsons Movie in 2007. After I started college in 2009, I got back into The Simpsons and became even more obsessed with it than I was when 11 or 12 (although I have to admit, knowing that I was watching something I wasn't supposed to be watching added so much to its appeal back then).
