TV Guide Network Counts Down the 100 Moments That Changed TV

Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake

TV Guide Network will look at the monumental moments that have affected today's television landscape in a five-part series starting Sunday.

Among the biggest: Janet Jackson's Super Bowl "wardrobe malfunction," the Van Doren "Quiz Show" scandal, and how reality shows such as Survivor and American Idol launched a new genre.

Journalists such as Tom Brokaw discuss the debate between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon, the O.J. Simpson trial and the birth of CNN. Larry King explains how his talk show paved the way for the viewer participation format. And Frank Gifford addresses the start of Monday Night Football.

Robin Roberts, Bryant Gumbel and Cynthia McFadden and various pop-culture experts will weigh in about how these major moments influenced the powerful medium.

100 Moments that Changed TV: Parts 1 and 2 air Sunday at 9/7c on TV Guide Network. Parts 3, 4, and 5 will air on subsequent Sundays.
