I have come to laugh off these stupid lists. But some of the choices were okay. The television shows that they picked for the list really caught me off guard. Television was rocked when Hawaii Five O debuted. WTF?

According to some interview on either mtv or vh1 ( a grammy special), some old guy that was one of Sinatra's friends said that Sinatra was sort of glad the speech was interupted since he had a hard time with it and wanted to get off the stage. (I have a fuzzy memory but I think that is how the interview went.
