I think that's your nostalgia talking. The early episodes weren't that good, and they had a whole slew of inconsistencies and awkwardness. At the time of release, there were very few good cartoons, so even decent shows would gain a large following. I suspect that if season 1 had been released today, there would be no bronies, or at the very least, the fandom would be much, MUCH smaller..
