These shows not only launched the careers of such superstars as Will Smith, Michael B. Jordan, Claire Danes, and Seth Rogen, but they also took young people seriously, proving that teen TV could be smart, revolutionary, and \"important\"-and stay firmly entrenched in pop culture long after it finished airing. And while many critics insist that prestige dramas like \u003ci\u003eThe Sopranos\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMad Men\u003c\/i\u003e paved the way for television, some of the most groundbreaking work was actually happening inside the fictional hallways of high schools across America in teen shows whose impact remains visible on our screens today.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46454542631070,"sku":"ADS-9780762480760","price":44.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780762480760.jpg?v=1769667151","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780762480760","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
