First "Live" Season

[Phoenix Flair 332]

I come to every fandom late.  When I started watching Sherlock, they already had two seasons.  Doctor Who had six, the Walking Dead three, and both The Office and HIMYM had run through entirely.  As such, it's a very rare thing for me to watch a season of a favorite show as its being aired, instead of working my way through archived episodes on Netflix.  I always find that first "live" season, though, when you finally experience the show simultaneously with the rest of the fandom community, to be a thrilling experience, that final confirmation of fandom membership and inclusion.

 

I started watching MLP last summer.  Season 5 will be my first "live" season of the show, and I am more excited than I have ever been about ponies, friendship, and color schemes.

 

What was your first "live" season of MLP, and what did it feel like to you?

Season 5 will be my first live season I just can't wait. I just hope they put up a legal way to watch online.

I started to watch the show in August 2013 so season 4 was my first live season.

It's just so great to know that there will be a new episode on the weekend! (especially when you don't know what it's going to be about)

Season 5. I've been a fan for about 6 months and I've only participated in the community for about two months now.

 

I'm really excited to see a season live! 

[Cosmik Vek 764]

This will be my first live season too! And I'm almost set to watch it live (that will happen if I find a stream of Discovery Family online or a site that does stream MLP episodes as they air on T.V.)

[Moonlight 7,288]

Season 2 was my first live season, I believe around when 'Lesson Zero' aired.

 

It was pretty cool but the whole Ditzy Doo controversy thing was annoying.

[MysticShine 529]

My first was season 2, but very late in season 2. Right before A Canterlot Wedding to be exact.

[Flamester01 71]

i came in about half way through season 3

i can tell your avatar really shows it XD

Season 3 was my first live Season. I'm always stunned by how fast time flies too. It's been two years since Magical Mystery Cure aired.

Season 5 will be my first live season.

[cmarston1 5,959]

I started watching the show in February of 2012 in the break between A Friend in Deed and Putting Your Hoof Down.

Since I didn't have the hub (or discovery family now) at the time I mare-a-thoned every single episode released at the time, starting with Friendship is magic Part 1 all the way A Friend in Deed online. I had to wait a little bit and then saw PYHD on the internet and continued watching it that way until season 2 was over. (This summer I managed to get the Hub and still have the channel so I saw Season 4 on tv) But since I came midway into season 2 and season 3 had episodes such as Too Many Pinkie Pies, Magic Duel, Wonderbolts Academy and Magical Mystery Cure which were what really got me invested in MLP FIM. And considering Season 3 was the first season I saw all the episodes released on the day they were, I consider it to have been my first live season.

I started watching the show right before the Season 4 Finale. So I suppose my first live season would be Season 5, once it gets here.

[Silver Letter 1,832]

My first season I watched simultaneously with its release was season 4. It was watching it on youtube as that is as close to "live" as I'm going to get since I don't have cable or know anybody that has the channel that MLP airs on.

Season 5 would be my first live season. Though I watched some parts of the Season 4 finale on TV when it first aired.

[Mrain901 216]

Season 5. I know that thrill that you're talking about with the live airing in a fandom. I experience it with Gravity Falls, whenever a new episode ends, everyone rushes onto the GF forums and barrages it with all their theories and ideas about the episode - a few after it finished. Also it's hilarious to see that half- hour timespan where there were no posts, followed by a massive influx. 

[catnet 9,358]

I only discovered the show a few months ago, so season 5 will be my first- hopefully, I'll have finished off season 4 by then And have found a way to actually watch it live... 

[paradoxical 1,735]

I caught up at Twilight's kingdom.

So, season 5?

[Pinkie-Guy 563]

I watched the first four seasons on Netflix so season 5 will be my first live season.  I am SUPER excited.  I just can't wait.  I don't remember the last time, if ever, I was so pumped up for an upcoming TV season premier.  I don't even what to type except to say, "Yay, ponies!"  PONIES!!  I squee just thinking about watching FiM live. 

[VitalSpark 1,830]

I started watching it from season 1 while season 4 was being broadcast.

[Envy 6,191]

I started watching FiM within literally the last couple of weeks or so of Season 1's airing. I don't think I caught any live until the beginning of Season 2, but I could be wrong.
