In 2007 when I first moved from Central Florida to South Florida my roommate and I used to watch it while it was airing on Adult Swim. I had only ever seen the Pierrot episode before then.

@SW-User My parents started letting me stay up late on weekends when I started high school. That's how I got to see adult swim.

My parents didn't have cable. The first time I saw adult swim were on a vacation and I had flipped the TV in the hotel room I was in to Cartoon Network to see what was on.
It was also my introduction to adult oriented anime (prior to that I had mostly seen kid friendly stuff like Pokemon and the Censored For The Kids Versions of Dragon Ball Z and G Gundam), actually.
