There's a couple I can think of that should be on the list:
This year's WS the BOSOX win.
JFK's assassination, but they took out all of the assassinations and attempts, RFK's, MLK's, Reagan's, the '72 Olympics..... etc. All televised.
Jim Morrison looking into the camera on the Ed Sullivan show live and singing "girl we couldn't get much higher" or the Stones being censored to sing Let's spend some TIME together" instead of Let's spend the NIGHT together" on Sullivan.
Monday Night Football's debut or at the very least Cosell's announcement of Lennon's assassination.
The Watts riots of the 60's or the LA riots after the Rodney King beaters verdict.
There were 100 great moments but, if the purpose was to demonstrate how TV has affected generations and truly important moments, they left out quite a few for fluff items.

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
