When did you start watching SpongeBob, and what was your first episode that you watched (if you can remember it)?

[Whisper]

Well, I don't actually remember watching SpongeBob for the first time nor do I remember what the first episode I watched would've been. However, my mom has told me that she didn't let me watch SpongeBob until I was 5, so I guess that's how old I would've been. So, that would've been 2006-2007 to be precise. And while I can't remember what the first episode I watched was, I can at least say that I believe "WhoBob WhatPants" (I know that's not the actual episode title but the actual title is kind of long and dumb ngl) was one of the first if not the first SpongeBob episode that I caught the premiere of. I remember Nick really hyped that one up back in the day.

2002, a long, long, time ago.
It was a season 1 episode; I think it was Valentine's Day.

I don't remember when I started watching Spongebob, but it was around ~2012 when I took a long hiatus from the show (Kenny the Cat was the last episode I watched). Fitting, as I seemed to grow out of the show by that point.

The earliest episode from my re-collection was The Krusty Plate from Season 5 I believe.
