Not very high with me. I haven't ever watched an episode.

And I’ll say this.
I watched about 15 mins of the first episode and couldn’t get into it.
I’m not into it and really couldn’t care less about it
And I’m by no means hating on it. Because I don’t. You will never see me make fun of it.
But I have to admit this is the largest I’ve ever seen the country behind a TV show
I’m also only in my 20s. So i wasn’t of this age when Sopranos was around so why I ask
ETA: it just seems to engulf everything too
Look at Adidas, releasing GOT theme shoes, Oreos making GOT cookies, GOT wine and beer etc

But to offer an answer: it's probably not near as high as it seems right now.
Will it go into syndication like a Friends, Mash, Gillian's Island, or I love Lucy? That would drive it to a more lasting status. Will it be eclipsed by another of it's own genre like South Park did to the Simpson's? That's my guess since it's struck gold - it's the standard for the moment - but the dollars will drive something more outlandish to market. Nature abhors a vacuum. However if it goes the route of movie trilogy (instead of sequels) it'll reap even far more hype, dollars, and create a much long lasting fame. (again from a non-viewer) - The let down ending seems almost a setup for such.
I sort of see it much like another "Breaking Bad" but with sex scenes, that will at least go box-set blu-ray like Weeds... and then fade with age (again if it doesn't go big screen). So I'll give it top ten rating at the moment, that could with the right legacy eventually push it up behind Star Trek, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and The Lord of the Rings (trilogy).
