Epic TV Moments

[Insidious Von]

I'm happy that God has another hit show in Modern Family. Married With Children gave the pc mafia a wedgie and we loved the show for it.

Bubba Smith left us much too soon.

Modern Family has some great moments as well, most notably Fizbo.

The last episode of The Fugitive.

It had the highest viewership of all time, for a long time. It took the Super Bowl quite a number of Roman Numerals to surpass it.

The last episode of M*A*S*H (Goodby, Farewell, Amen) was one of THE best series finales ever seen on television. It ran in February of 1983 and it took until February of 2010 before another television "event" suprassed its rating (Super Bowl win by New Orleans)...

We probably have slightly different perceptions of an 'Epic TV Moment' but I look at the unscripted as opposed to scripted moments. The second plane hitting the WTC is one such moment but I think the first from early live feeds was this one:

Runaway winner, nothing else comes close.

At what point did anything from Modern Family become epic? A cast of extremely annoying children, a stereotypical gay couple and Vergera at best would be a 7.5 in her homeland.

Nothing in this universe comes close, except for this. You know it's epic when Seth MacFarlane does a parody on Family Guy!

Al Capone's Vault.

If Leno had appeared on Letterman's last show I would have put that near the top of the non-news events on tv. It's a shame it didn't happen.

Meh fuck Leno. It certainly wouldn't have made the show funnier since his jokes are terrible.

Last show was just fine without him.

Amazed anyone cares about talk shows...



As far as epic goes nothing compares to the Max Headroom Incident
To this date not only has it never been replicated but those behind it have never been arrested either
Fuck loser groups like ISIS who are still decades behind in technology yet try to sound cool on Twitter

That's Canada's own Peter Worthington - second guy from the left (with the crew cut). He went to check the lay of the land after arriving in Dallas for the Toronto Telegram. Oswald was supposed to be leaving later in the afternoon, but Peter felt he should check the landscape first. By luck, he got inside the building and witnessed the silencing of Oswald by the mob's own Jack Ruby (and history will never really know the whole truth).

Absolutely.
