Arguably this existed for the limited time in history with invention of over-the-air TV and ended with advent of cable. Event before internet streaming nobody watched same stuff anymore.

Not disagreeing with you, but the last time I experienced this was much later: with HBO's Game of Thrones. Everyone discussed the latest episode, it was an almost universal shared social experience.

It seems to have died for good after it ended, though.
