The Television Academy's Top 75 Most Impactful Television Moments

"As part of celebrating the world's most powerful medium, the Television Academy's industry members, along with a select group of academic professionals, spent much of 2023 scouring eight decades of television in search of the moments that have made the most impact on viewers, the industry and culture. A list of more than 300 events were compiled with input from the Academy's 31 Peer Groups, professionals working in all aspects of television. Academy members and academics were then invited to review and judge this list. Chosen were classic moments of TV's most beloved programs, as well as news events that brought the U.S. and the world together to watch them in real time. Many of the selected televised events influenced politics and shifted the common wisdom about race, LGTBQ+ representation and more. These 75 incredible moments demonstrate how television has shaped conversations, broadened our perspectives and motivated social change over the past eight decades." - emmys.com
