Unforgettable TV shows or moments

[Jazzmoose]

Well, if we're going to get into that, I'd say the night I stayed up to see the moon landing is still my number one.

Another "not a TV show" moment. This must be one of my earliest memories because I was all of 3 years old at the time but it was the JFK funeral with the caisson rolling through the streets of Washington DC. I was too young to understand what was going on of course but I clearly remember being upset that they were showing the Kennedy proceedings rather than whatever show it was that I normally enjoyed watching at that time. I'm sure it was unforgettable to most people for a very different reason.

I have an American friend, now resident here, who recalls seeing the McCarthy hearings on television at the age of 11! She recalls that adults were riveted by it, yet unprepared to talk about it.

I haven't watched TV (or movie or video or whatever) since 1978. But I'll never forget, as a kid, Trouble with Tribbles, on Star Trek. We didn't have television at home. The kid I watched it with went on to be an (I guess) big comic book art guy (with a movie spinoff).

The episode of All in the Family when Mike and Gloria move out of the Bunker home before moving to LA. I remember watching it in college with my roomate and desperately trying not to cry in front of my friend. He broke the tension by saying "let's get high before we both start bawling."

Man, Fox Mulder should investigate you.

I'm just so disappointed you didn't say this:

I went for about 15 years without a TV. It was great. Then I moved in with my girlfriend, who had other ideas. But she had a great record collection, so it was worth sacrificing my principles.

That's some badass section playing.

I bet Hank was watching this when he wrote "Breakthrough".

"Hot Water Soup" scene on an old Green Acres episode. Eb was killin'.

Kind of sad when I have to resort to a web search to understand a comment related to American culture from someone in Italy. There's definitely a downside here!
