The folks who make the TiVo personal video recorder commissioned a poll to find out what the biggest ‘moments’ were on U.S. television in the last year. TiVo hired a firm to survey 1,000 Americans and here’s what they said were their top 10 favourite moments from 2006:
- Katie Couric's last day on “Today”
- Mel Gibson's interview with Diane Sawyer after his DWI arrest
- Oprah tells author James Frey he betrayed readers
- Sara and Grissom get together on “CSI”
- Faith Hill's reaction to Carrie Underwood's win at “CMA Awards”
- Kirstie Alley's bikini reveal on “Oprah”
- “Will & Grace” series finale in which their kids start dating
- Kate and Sawyer get together on “Lost”
- Rosie O'Donnell's debut on “The View”
- Connie Chung attempting a sultry serenade of Maury Povich
I’ve got to confess: though many of these moments would have been simulcast by my employer CTV here in Canada, I don’t think I saw a single one! I missed Katie’s last day on “Today” but I caught her first day hosting the evening news (personally I thought that was a bigger deal). And what did Faith Hill do when Carrie Underwood win? (I confess I watched Carrie win American Idol but I’m blaming my wife for that one.)
