I missed out as a child

Discussion

I’m 36 male.
And got into SpongeBob 1.5 years ago.

I was kinda too old to get very invested in the show when it first came out, and living in Norway, Nickelodeon wasnt a very common channel for most.
Most of us watched Cartoon Network / fox kids.

And when I got older, I thought SpongeBob seemed like an annoying show. I was very wrong (but for the later seasons I was very right.)

Then. 1.5 years ago, I was finding something for my daughter to watch, and randomly I found SpongeBob and let her watch that.
And I watched it with her.
The very first episode I watched was the one where krabs thinks SpongeBob found a penny.
And I thought it was really funny.

And from then on, I got really really into the show.
It sucks that I missed out all those years ago.
I’m a bit embarrassed to say this, but I watch it every time I want to relax. It’s truly a comfort show.

My question is: is anyone else kinda obsessed by the show? It feels really strange getting so invested in it as an adult man lol.
