I'll never forget The Sopranos. I was 12 when it debuted and it was the first mature audiences TV show that my parents actually allowed me to watch with them, and we all got hooked together and watched at 9pm every Sunday until the series finale. I was just about the only one in my class who saw the first 3 seasons, but when high school rolled around and we were in seasons 4-6a everyone in school watched and everyone talked about it Monday morning and if you didn't watch Sunday night it got spoiled for you. I graduated before 6b began. Unironically, I moved out of their house the Friday following the series finale. I actually waited until The Sopranos ended to get my own apartment because I knew I wasn't going to be able to afford a premium cable package lol.
