NEW YORK, Dec. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- For over 50 years, Americans have turned to TV to be enlightened, informed and entertained. Some of the most captivating moments in history have been experiences shared simultaneously through the immediacy and reach of television, such as Neil Armstrong's first steps on the moon, Bette Midler's farewell to Johnny Carson, and Sammy Davis Jr. planting a kiss on Archie Bunker.
TV Guide Magazine, the preeminent authority on television, and TV Land, the expert on classic TV programming, have partnered to narrow down the 100 most significant, influential, hilarious and shocking TV moments of all time with the premiere of TV Guide and TV Land Present: The 100 Most Memorable TV Moments and a companion issue of TV Guide Magazine. Premiering on Monday, December 6 at 10 p.m. ET/PT, the five-night series of one-hour specials reflects on more than 50 years of outstanding televised moments spanning the spectrum of TV genres, including news, dramas, soaps, comedies, talk shows and sports.

Not all covers are available nationwide. The TV Land special is produced by Gay Rosenthal Productions.

From the debut of The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show, to Nadia Comaneci's perfect performance in the 1976 Summer Olympics to Michael Jackson's moonwalk, this countdown special showcases the moments that have become indelibly etched in our memories and will continue to stand the test of time.
