-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!

(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)

Valerie, a.k.a. The Hogan Family - "Bad Timing" it marked the very first time in TV History where the word "CONDOM" was ever said on national TV.

Valerie, a.k.a. The Hogan Family - when Valerie Harper was fired from the show.

When "All in the Family" changed TV.

Good Times - the death of James Sr.

Murphy Brown - when Murphy had a baby through wedlock.

Soap - When it became one of the 1st TV shows to introduce an openly gay character (Jodie Dallas.)

The death of Freddie Prinze, Sr. shocked millions in 1977 as did the death of Elvis Presley.
