Oh, me, too. I was keeping the nice old lady next door company, and she would graciously let me watch Star Trek at her house. I'm sure she wondered WTH was it all about, but she watched. That episode came on, and she made an incredulous comment that I can't and won't repeat here, but she was old and white, and this was in the late '60s, and you get the idea. I did not mention that I kinda crushed on Uhura (and Yeoman Rand, when she was around).
ghost19 I missed putting the Reagan assassination attempt on my list but I remember that one too. Then of course SNL did their parody with Buckwheat ( Eddie Murphy) getting shot. That was hilarious!
Hearing that Uncle Steve got run down.

Lady Di......I stopped watching tv not long after all this.

Wow, I had forgotten about the SNL Buckwheat skit, that was great.
Another fantastic SNL skit was when Steve Martin and Gilda Radner danced together. Everyone at first thought it was going to be something to laugh at, but after about 30 seconds we all realized that these two CAN dance! Now THAT was entertainment!!
Steve Martin as King Tut....another classic SNL skit.
LOL, Chevy Chase as President Ford, tripping and falling all over the place...lol'We are two wild and crazy guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'
Just thought of another one. Coming back from a cruise vacation, sitting in the airport, I found out that Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, had been killed by a stingray.
When Sammy Davis Jr. kissed 'Archie' on the mouth on All In The Family.
Yeah, that was terrible. My wife, my son and I all liked his shows very much. My son especially got a kick out of the way he talked and how much he loved animals. That was tragic. He seemed like a genuinely nice person.

He was a good man. A very good man.
^^^Yar, broke my heart when he (Steve) died.
That family had (and still does have) such love shining in their eyes for each other. A rare sight indeed.
When Brian was killed on Family Guy.
I actually cried.

When I heard that I just stared blankly at the TV for a few minutes. I think I was seven at the time.
I didn't really comprehend it.
That bummed me big big. Tragic.
