I would have thought Sinead O'Connor ripping up the Pope's photo on SNL would have made it.
I saw the Zell b!tch-slap of Matthews as it happened! A bunch of us were following it live here on FR. What a great day that was!
Bump for later
or it depends on what the meaning of is is
It's #4.
Where's Dan Rather storming off the set because of the long tennis match?
Another one that is definately omitted from the list. JMO, maybe the libs want the bald one to make a comeback, and thus omitted that and ended the career of "Charade O'Conner", ba-da-bum.(Sorry I couldn't resist).
Thanks, it's there...I was wondering how they could overlook it.
I didn't check the whole list, but it seems like John Kennedy getting his head blown off on national television and the Oswald killing should be in the top five.
Another unexpected moment left off the list that should be on there.
One I also remember was when Reagan was shot the ABC anchor at the time(Frank Reynolds, IIRC) got really pissed on air about the misinformation and speculation being provided.
As an aside, I'll never forget how our local phone lines went dead for about 10 minutes, probably due to overuse as people called each other to spread the news about what had happened.
"I would have bumped up the WKRP Turkey Promotion."
I'll never forget the look on Les Nessmans face once he realized that turkeys cant fly. That has to be one of the funniest moments on TV ever.
I disagree. That was the best season finale ever, but the biggest surprise (and biggest laugh in TV history) was when Carol Burnett came down the stairs in a dress made of the curtains. With the rod still in them.
Yes, I am sure you have heard that.
This is promoted by moonbats. His scream was not augmented any more than his speech was. The "evidence" for that is that a video camera from inside the crowd muffles the whole event by crowd noise.
Funny. I just saw her in Cleveland last night. She's doing a ton of reggae now. I was just waiting for her to rip up a picture of the new pope.
I guess I'm really out of touch
How could they forget the naked streaker who ran past David Niven on the Emmy Awards Show?
Also, there was the Florida newscaster, or talk show hostess, can't remember which, who committed suicide on air by blowing her brains out.
Both of these occurred in 1974 or 75.
Not surprised that more than half of them involve some two-year-old running into a cocktail party stark naked yelling 'poo Poo!" Although I can't think that kind of thingk, which has become so everyday that it is tedious to people over the age of 12.
I would definitely have included the firey death of the Apollo 1 astronauts before I'd have put in a bunch of cartoon characters saying "shit' 168 times in half an hour.
And another episode of filthy language (ha ha, he said "ass!") could have been removed for the day the Challenger blew up ... or the morning the Columbia exploded on the way back to earth might have been of more overall importance and far more unexpected than anybody questioning an actor's sexuality (he he ho ho he said "gay"!)
TV has gone beyond being a vast wasteland and become a vast dumpster.
It was shocking enough to hear a President of the United States discussing his sex life in public, but even more shocking when we found out is was a big, fat lie
