Most Jaw-Dropping Live Television Moments of the DecadeThese are the things we saw on live television during the past decade that made us stop and stare. They’re not all good things and they’re not all bad. They’re mostly things that made everyone watching think a collective “WTF?” and everyone who missed them race to YouTube to catch up. One caveat: there are no deaths on this list. We all know the single most jaw-dropping television of the decade (and it’s a strong contender for most jaw-dropping television of all time), whether we consider the events of that morning to be one protracted “moment” or fill a list of moments from that day. I don’t want it on my list. Similar moments I am omitting include events from the War in Afghanistan and the Iraq War, the 2001 fatal crash of Dale Earnhardt in the Daytona 500, and Hurricane Katrina. The magic of television is that many of us can experience the same thing at the same time. This feature is also the thing many “highbrow” misanthropes curmudgeonly curse about the platform. But that shared connection is an indelible part of our culture and you’d have to have lived under a rock for the past ten years to have missed the things on my list. 10. Super Bowl XXXVIII Wardrobe Malfunction (2004) 9. Ms. South Carolina Answers a Question (2007) 8. Red Sox break the Curse of the Bambino (2004) 7. Governor Mark Sanford and the Argentine Mistress (2009) 6. Phelps Wins and Wins (2008 ) 5. Whoopi Goldberg Knows it Wasn’t Rape-Rape (2009) 4. Giants Beat Patriots (2008 ) 3. The “I Have a Scream” Speech (2004) 2. Northeast Blackout (2003) And the most jaw-dropping (non death-related) live television of the decade: 1. The Nets Call Florida for Gore…then Bush…then Neither (2000) Honorable Mention: Israeli Tank Stuck in the Mud (2006) Honorable Mention: Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Rickrolls the Entire Country (2008 ) | Recent Comments
