Teen Drama Links for February 11, 2025

My dad recently asked me a teen drama question that left me stumped.

He was talking about one of his favorite shows, “The Sopranos,” when he acknowledged that I’ve no doubt watched “Beverly Hills, 90210” many more times than he’s watched “The Sopranos.”

Then he asked, “What episode have you seen the most and how many times have you watched it?”

My answer?

I honestly have no idea.

It is such a good question, but I haven’t a clue. There aren’t particular episodes I have especially watched over and over again, even though I of course have favorite installments.

But I do think it’s common for fans to have a specific episode they return to over and over again, especially as a comfort watch. I just don’t.

If you do, though, for any of the teen dramas, drop a comment below and let me know what it is!
