-Pauls death on 8 Simple Rules
-Who shot JR cliffhanger on Dallas
-James Evans death on Good Times



Not part of a show or drama but the most memorable moment to me was:

- 9/11 2nd crash caught live on national TV while covering the first crash and the collapse of the twin towers along with everything else being covered that day live without delay or script fed news
- 86 Shuttle explosion

when Lucille Ball became pregnant and they had Lucy Ricardo become pregnant on "I LOVE LUCY".

when "ALL IN THE FAMILY" debuted and caused an uproar.

when Elvis Presley was on "THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW" for the first time, and also caused an uproar. (I've never understood why though, because that wasn't his first TV appearence)

When Jack Soo passed away, the Barney Miller show had a tribute episode for him.. The cast spoke directly to the audience, which I had never seen done before. The Jack Soo episode is one of my most memorable TV moments.

when Arthur Godfrey fired singer Julios LaRosa on the air.

when the very first color show aired-I don't know when that was, what it was, or anything, but it was obviosly memorable!:lol:
(for trivia buffs:the first color western was "BONANZA". RCA, who was NBCs parent company at the time, used it to advertise their line of color sets)
