Need for a small sample

What about November 22, 1963 Everyone knows where they were on that day if they were walking this planet. For many, it was watching I Love Lucy and suddenly interrupted his show to discover that President John F. Kennedy had just been shot in Dallas. We followed the course of that day and the days until I finally saw a club owner named Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvey Oswald, right in front of our eyes. In the world of television, this was one of the most surreal moments of television history.

What about the episode of the situation comedies of all time, All in the Family where Archie Sammy Davis Jr. paid a visit You have the opportunity to see what a true fan is Archie and end when you take a picture with Archie, kisses on the cheek as the picture is taken. This is a moment that will be remembered as one of the best and funniest of all time.

What about how they were glued to your set on August 29, 1967, when after four seasons of being in the race, Richard Kimball finally reaches the sole gunman who killed his wife Did you know that over 30 million people tuned in to watch this saga will finally come to an end. The Fugitive was one of the main terminals of any program ever. So great that a movie was made on the basis of the entire series.

We could go on and on and on. The list of great television moments is so long as the day and then some. The few examples above are just a handful. And in the coming years, there will be times larger to add to this list.
