I'll start out with some TV facts. but post whatever is a "first" in history that seems almost shocking.
Some surprizing stats:
First TV show - The Queen's Messenger 1928, I was shocked at the year but then found out it was in New York on
September 11, 1928.
First angry TV football fans - Viewers hoping to see the wild conclusion of the AFL game between the New York Jets and Oakland Raiders got a huge shock on November 17, 1968, when the broadcast was cut off so NBC could air a movie version of "Heidi" starring Jennifer Edwards. Angry fans flooded NBC's switchboard with calls. From then on, all networks stayed with their football contests until the end before moving to regularly scheduled programming. (The Raiders scored two touchdowns in the final minute to come back and beat the Jets in what would forever be known as "The Heidi Game.")
First interracial kiss - William Shatner (Capt Kirk) kissed Nichelle Nichols (Lt. Uhura) on Star Trek in 1968. It actually raised a lot of eyebrows in hollywood at the time. Good ol Canadian
