I've been watching for years. I can't remember the exact date but it was on Netflix that I first watched the show. After a couple of episodes I was hooked and started recording the episodes on my dvr. I have 130 episodes now (pretty sure that's all of them) and watch a few episodes every night.
If I recall, I start watching this show in 2015. The very first episode I saw was season 3’s Ear-sy Rider. I liked it and decided to watch next episode. And then John was a zombie I found myself liking this show. Maybe not till the same point as The Simpsons but very close.
