In the opener, TV shows from the decade are examined, from animated hits South Park and Beavis and. Unidentified flying objects. I think that fits the description pretty well. Tell me im crazy. Mulder, youre crazy. That dynamic, that dramatic tension of Believer Versus Skeptic is one of the engines of the show. You were always seeing it from a specific point of view. Theyre equals . Yeah, absolutely. They are equals in a way they have kind of switched gender stereotypes, because the character i play, mulder, is the intuitive one. And scully is the rationalist, the doctor. A lot of folks who enjoyed the x files who otherwise didnt watch tv might have been drawn to the show by its, for lack of a better way to put it, its Stick It To The Man ethos. Dont trust the government or big business or anybody but yourself and your friends and family, i guess. Its a message thats somewhat
dark and cynical, but was kind of a breath of fresh air in the early 90s. The 90s was a time of conspiracies. And the internet was starting to spread beyond just like hardcore computer users. So, you could have Message Boards and usenet news groups. And everybody wanted to talk about the black oil and the bees and mulders sister and what the Cigarette Smoking Man was up to. I would go to alt. Tv xfiles. And people were so nuts for this show. Its just pure science fiction. And thats probably what i like most about it. The xfiles changed the way people watched television. You could sense these successful creators trying to see how they could do things different five or ten years ago. Sometimes that led to really Challenging Network television that was cool and fun to watch. And sometimes it seemed to fall off the edge a little bit. Lets be careful out there
at the time, Steven Bochco was a very successful producer of hour dramas and wanted to try something brandnew. This is the police. We have a warrant for your arrest and so, his idea was to combine a gritty cop show with a broadway musical. I saw one in which a bunch of gang bangers were in jail. And they began to sing. Life in the hood aint no pizza pie, everybody die when the bullets fly. Life in the hood aint no pizza pie, people die when bullets fly and i said, wait a minute. I thought this is it. This is great. This is going to be as innovative as anything i have ever done. Hes guilty, judge hes guilty you could see it in his eyes he did the crime
and now hes gotta pay nope. It circled the drain. I will give credit to anybody who goes Outside The Box and swings really hard for the fences. I worked real hard and i got my education im creatively proud of it. Still. You know, im very glad we tried it. I dont think id want to do it again. thomas nice choices you see, now verizon lets you mix and match your family unlimited plans like you mix and match your flavors.

In the 90s, what we realized is advertisers would pay premiums for collegeeducated young adults 18 to 49. And we started reinventing nbc and trying to speak to that audience. Where is someone . Im starving. This is him right here. Oh. Is there a table ready . The Chinese Restaurant was one of the very, very early episodes of seinfeld. And truly Nothing Happened in the episode. They were waiting for a table. I feel like just walking over there and taking some food off of somebodys plate. We said to larry david, hey, like, nothing happens. And larry was offended. He was, like, wildly offended. Nbc believed in the show so they said were committing to four episodes. Yes. Yeah, right. Four episodes. Formally its 13 or 8 or something. Yes, at least. So, we doesnt really think they had too much confidence in the show. We didnt think it would work, but we felt that they had to go through their process and they would learn and ultimately, they knew better than we did. My mother caught me. Caught you . Doing what . You know. I was alone. The Turning Point for seinfeld from, like, nice show that all of the cool people know about but thats it, to massive hit was an episode called the contest, where they tried to abstain from selfpleasure for as long as possible. 6 30, time for your bath. George, im hungry. Hang on, ma. Hang on. Once you do 30 minutes on masturbation, you can pretty much get away with anything. I guess youll be going back to that hospital. My mother, jerry. But are you still master of your domain . I am king of the county. The week after that aired, people were talking about that in the workplace the entire week. They still are talking about it. 52 seconds and two of the greatest words in sitcom history. Im out. One of the shorthand descriptions of seinfeld is no hugs, no lessons. Lets push it a little further than its ever been pushed before. I think the big breakthrough of seinfeld was that the characters were not nice people. Someone help shut up they were narcissistic. Help they would screw each other at the drop of a hat. Hes just a dentist. And youre an antidentite. And yet be best friends the next week. When you wish upon a star you dont have to love them. We just have to laugh at them. Im really sorry. I was in the pool. I was in the pool the idea of a character with darker tendencies, that was so taboo in television comedy. Are you about done . Im just getting warmed up. Were in the confines of
network tv with commercials, with still a lot of things that are very highly structured and yet were able to find ways of pushing in the boundaries. No soup for you. It took us to a new level of comedy. And it kind of defined like, yeah, nbc, thursday night, this show, expect the unexpected. Can you sing the theme song from cheers . Cheers, yeah. How does it start . Making your way in the world today its so corny. Come on, i know. Its cute. Just sing it. Takes everything you got taking a break from all your worries sure can help a lot wouldnt you like to get away sometimes you want to go where Everybody Knows your name we decided to end cheers in the 11th year. And over 93 Million People watched the finale of cheers. Its a sad experience for everybody. This was our baby for 11 years and were not going to be around
these people every day. You people are as dear to me as my own family. We had been serving fake suds forever. It was time for everybody to sip. In fact, i was sipping along with them. Time goes by so fast. People move in and out of your life. You must never miss an opportunity to tell these people how much they mean to you. We had been through so much together. You spend so much time with the same set of people, it does become your family. I feel pretty lucky to have the friends i do. I think the legacy of cheers is our need to belong. And i think thats what we as americans are longing for. Thank you, guys. The final scene of cheers was really what was sams real first love. You can never be unfaithful to your one true love. Im the luckiest son of a

As a young kid in cleveland, i knew i would one day end up doing a talk show. Its arsenio hall in less than two years, arsenio hall has fired his talk show for the mtv generation into a contender for the crown of late night television. Yes, yes how come i didnt hear all of that woofing going on . When i would watch you too many white people. Johnny was the big dog. But i knew everybody on the planet wasnt watching him. And it dawned on me that i could go many weeks and not see a motown group on The Tonight Show. Arsenio hall has been dubbed the prince of late night. There was a whole world of talent that had never and would never have been on any late night show. Sitting at home watching Arsenio Hall 2livecrew came on and sang me so horny, it was like the sex pistols. Id never seen anything like it. It was an explosion in the audience. He appealed to a Black And White young audience and it was a much broader appeal than the powers that be estimated. Rap. Rap is real big among our teens. Thats poetry. Of course it is. Having maya angelou on, i mean, where would you have seen her otherwise . In 1892, he wrote a poem called a negro love song. It says seen my lady home last night, jump back, honey, jump back. Held her hand and squeezed it tight, jump back, honey, jump back. He didnt just have black people on his show. But if you were hip, you wanted to be on arsenio. This was something i heard a political analyst talk about recently. He said you kind of were i use the word chilling out. He said you were pulling back. You had been instructed not to say as much or be outspoken. No . Ive heard that, but i never know who says it. Its Wishful Thinking on the part of some people. Guess who suggested to bill to do the Arsenio Hall Show if you want to get a younger demo . Hilldawg. He attracted a lot of people who werent fans before that night. The 90s was a glorious moment for black television. Because you saw these representations that youd never seen before. The premise of the fresh
prince was this kid who comes from philadelphia. In West Philadelphia born and raised s on the brplayground is where spent most of my days his mom says, im going to send you to live with your uncle. He shows up at this mansion in bel air, baseball cap on backward. Like he doesnt even know how to act in this environment. The black producers and directors and writers were always playing with this kind of subverting expectations of what is blackness. The incredible work of the fresh prince at its most triumphant is when it was showing the ways that being black is always going to be a problem, no matter what. Vehicle registration, please. Just a second. But the thing is, officer, this isnt my car. Theres the episode, i remember, where they get pulled over in a car what . Hes going to tell us to get out of the car. You watch too much tv, will. Get out of the car. We have an interaction with the Police Officer that is horrible and racist in a lot of ways. And carlton has this epiphany about how money wont save him. No map is going to save you. And neither is your glee club or your fancy bel air address or who your daddy is. Because when youre driving in a nice car in a strange neighborhood, none of that matters. They only see one thing. The writers of the fresh prince of bel air had a really hard task to approach these topics with nuance and were doing it at a clip that was way ahead of their time. Now dont touch that dial. Were about to flip it for you to one of this years most talked about tv shows. It is, as they say, on another network. Fox. You can do what you want to do in lovie living color ladies and gentlemen, keenan ivory wayans. In living color was the first show created by, written
by, directed by, starring an africanamerican, all of those things in one. This is more a celebration of culture and an exchange. Us sort of opening the doors and allowing america to come inside. Yo, yo, yo, all you bad Bargain Hunters out there, welcome to the homeboys shopping network. A lot of what they did on In Living Color was trying to take the stereotypes or the misperceptions about what black men are and turn them upside down. Not only will you get all the Cable Stations out there, but youll be able to talk directly to the astronauts. It brought this smart, very controversial comedy that black folks had never seen before that centered around their life experiences. Who are you . I am the minister louis farrakhan. Africanamericans composed 25 of foxs market. I always get trapped in the corner with somebody named bob. Hey, listen, martin, i just saw boys in the hood, all right . I didnt know, martin, i didnt know. And they knew that they needed to capture this audience to grow. I guess you think you smart and cool, but if you think youre getting a job here, youre gettia damn fool. So, they basically gave the black creators freedom to do whatever you want. Just get the audience. The wb and upn took that concept from fox. Your shoulders are harder than cheap breast implants. Going after this underserved audience of urban minority viewers and really ran with it. Im a new millennium woman who will not be defined by traditional female roles, okay . A lot of the networks built themselves up partially on africanamerican viewers. Shake it to the east, shake it to the west. The africanamerican shows indexed lower in terms of household income. What . So, over the course of the decade, the networks started to move away from those shows. I dont know about you people, but ill be damned if it im going to let them destroy my neighborhood. Black creators felt used and abused. You made your money. You know, you built your audience on us, and now, you know, youre done.

In 1990, 91, there was not a whole lot of original programing for cable, but they were airing movies. So, we needed to compete and i felt that if we didnt, we were going to kind of get swept out. Son of a and so i came up with the notion of doing a cop show that was rrated. When abcs broadcast standards read our script, they went berserk. I was sitting with a pad and a Pencil Drawing pictures of breasts to try to show them what we would show and what we wouldnt show. Grownups sitting in a room doodling. Then we started on the language. We heard some with the brains of a flea and the balls of a moth. The program premiered with an advertising boycott. Channel 7, shame on you but it was such an immediate hit, that boycott lasted, oh, four weeks. Come on, line em up. They could use the nudity and the curse words to go deeper into the actual emotional burden of being a cop. Im an asshole. And it had this character, andy sipowicz. He is a raging alcoholic, racist, sexist, violent. Hey he created the tv antihero. You know, i go that great, that africanamerican George Washington carver discovered the peanut. But can you provide names and addresses of these friends . You know, youre a racist scumbag. Despite his flaws, despite his prejudices, i think people identified with his pain. I wish there was a way to say
this that wouldnt hurt you. Theres a famous episode where they are investigating the rape and murder of a young boy. And they find a homeless Child Molester who murdered the kid and sipowicz to get the confession has to be very sensitive and very good cop. I know this has got to be tearing you up inside. But youre going to feel a lot better if you just tell the truth. You can sort of see on dennis franzs face this is killing him to not destroy this guy right now. Finally, he gets the confession he gets the signed statement. He walks out of the room, he goes into another Interrogation Room and he breaks the door in two with his fist. And im choking up talking about it right now, because thats how great a moment of tv that it is. 20 years from now, the best tv dramas, what do they look like . I dont know. Will they be bolder than what we see today . Oh, assuredly, assuredly they will be. The 90s gave us several shows that didnt really explode in the ratings but were very influential to other people making television. Homicide is one of them. Shell me with questions all night im living in a danger zone Homicide Life On The Street was really innovative in terms of its style. It used music in ways that advanced the narrative and also used Feature Film Directors that brought a look and style to the show that really stood out on television. Tears coming out of your eyes. Aint no tears coming from my eyes. His eyes are brimming with tears. They had so many africanamerican characters in the cast that on several occasions they were the only people on Camera Interacting with one another. And that sounds like, so . But as late as the 90s, that wasnt done on television. When a cop shoots somebody, he stands by. He picks up the radio mic and calls it in. He stands by the body. If not, cops are no better than anybody else. In the 90s, television was getting more complicated, stories were starting to become more episodic and characters were starting to develop and change. None of that happened on law order. This was a show that completely delivered on its formula every time. You get a crime, you got the investigation into the crime. You better be packing more than a dirty mouth. You got an arrest. Whats the charge . Hey, im asking you a question. Whats the charge . Theres no charge. This ones on us. Then you had a trial. Hes badgering, your honor. Sit down and shut up. Overruled. You will address the court from now on, mr. Mccoy. So, every time you watched, you got what you came for. Tell me, doctor. All those women you ran through your examination rooms, do you remember their faces or did you not even bother to look up . You had in law order the kind of characters people take to heart. Ill let you take me to lunch. One time offer. And if youre an actor and you say well, gee, maybe its not really such a bad medium after all. Miranda, the supreme courts mimic decision. The whole thing was illegally obtained. They were both represented by counsel. You just get hooked in. Its life and death and stuff. We know what you did. Counsel. You hear me . Do you hear me . Look at me do you hear me law order was like crack. Youd have to sit and watch me for 50 minutes just like, not moving, barely breathing. Theres times i have almost passed out watching law order. You have to get over here, i need your help. E. R. Had originally been written as a movie for Steven Spielberg to direct. We had this twohour piece which
was michaels reflection of experiences as a medical student. You need a large in case theyre bleeding. Do you know how to start an i. V. . Actually, no. E. R. Is a hospital show, but its really an action movie. This way. This way. Three walking wounded. Red urgent, yellow critical and black d. O. A. Got it . Got it. A gurney comes in, people are shouting instructions, climbing on the body and doing cpr and racing off to the surgical suite. Get that gurney out of there someone wanders in. Theyre tossing around medical jargon. They dont stop to explain what it is. Prep for a peritoneal lavage. I think i know what that is now, but only because i watched a lot of e. R. Over the years. You can try, but i dont think his heart would take it. We can bypass him. What do you think in. Youre the attending. That would be the fastest way. What do you think . Youre the attending. There was so much information
coming at you that i think it made the experience feel as if you had to watch it in the same way that youd watch a film. You had to stay involved in it the whole time. Come on, ben. Hold on, buddy. Hold on. There was a lot of research that said people didnt want to watch anybody have anything other than a happy outcome. Its not flat line, its defib. Another seven megs epi. We argued that wasnt really showing what the world was for physicians. I had unbelievable amount of respect for the people who did this because i understood how human they were. We called usaa.

This is going to be one dynamite company. Theres a danger that news will be mixed up with the rest of television and considered just another profit. Late 1920s, to early 1930s, to the early 1980s, the sense was, well give some of the broadcasting time to public service, but the 1990s, journalism in the country changed a great deal. You couldnt talk about public service. It was, what are the ratings going to be . What are the demographics going to be . What is the profit going to be . Well sensationalism sells. In a plea bargain, 18yearold amy fisher got up to 15 years in prison for shooting the wife of her alleged lover. So intense is the interest in it in this case that there are three, three made for tv movies now in the works about it. You make money off sex. You make money off death. You make money off crime. The press calls the case the Beverly Hills mansion murders. And the story reads like one of the unsold scripts that circulate here in hollywood. We enter into the Television News soap opera. A story of basic instincts, anger and fear. I was scared and i just wanted him to leave me alone. And so, Broadcast Journalism loses its purity and becomes much more shoddy and sensationalistic. And then it all comes together with o. J. Simpson. Im larry carrol in los angeles. The Los Angeles County District Attorney has just filed murder against o. J. Simpson. I have to interrupt this call. I understand were going to go to a live picture in los angeles. Police believe that o. J. Simpson is in that car . The o. J. Simpson story starts with the chase and then goes on to his arrest and then culminates with the trial, which goes on and on and on and is televised day after day after day. This is going to be a long trial. Theres a lot of evidence to come in. The o. J. Simpson case was such a National Phenomenon that those of us who were covering it just lived this case 24 hours a day, because there was so much demand for people talking about it. As simpson struggled to slide as simpson struggled to slide the gloves on to his hands and turned to a juror saying theyre too small, prosecutors were incensed. The trial was on television during the hours that had traditionally been the time for soap operas. He appears to have pulled the gloves on, counsel. And o. J. Was very much a soap opera. Impeached by his own witness. I ask you to put a stop to it. Excuse me, mr. Bailey. Will you stand up and speak when its your turn. No question that the best tv show of the 90s was the o. J. Simpson trial, and everybody on it was riveting. Nbc news in depth tonight, the Simpson Trial finally
winding to a close. We the jury in the above entitled action find Orenthal James simpson not guilty of the crime of murder. In violation of penal code section 187a the verdict of the o. J. Simpson trial viewed by 150 Million People. Its more people than watch president ial election returns. Thats crazy. Because there was trial footage every day, cnn saw its audience increase like five times. The success of cnn was not lost on other people. And so there were competing forces coming into play. How delighted i am we have now reached this moment when we can firmly announce the starting of a fox news channel. Unfortunately, with cable news and the ability or the need to be on the air 24 7, where you try to get as many eyeballs as possible at one
time, to gravitate toward those stories that are sensational, it brought us the ability to go too far. Is the Jonbenet Ramsey Murder Investigation turning into a media circus . Yes, its tabloid. But on the other hand its a tabloid era. Heres the point. Heres where the fear comes into it, i think, larry. Its the fear that says, gosh, if we dont cover it bigtime, our competition is. When they cover it bigtime, theyll get a big jump in the ratings. The first thing is to last, to last and survive, weve got to do it. What you also see is a whole army of commentators, people who make their business talking about the news. What i say is what we should do is we should bomb his capability of producing oil. Take out his refineries, his stations, his wells. They dont have any capability. Theyre certainly selling a lot of oil no theyre not the networks were doing Good Journalism but they became much
more preoccupied by profits. Its much cheaper to have someone in your Studio Pontificating than to have reporters out in the field reporting. I dont know if any of this is true. But what i heard is that the father went down, opened his basement room, which the fbi had bypassed. Every single sentence on cnn, perhaps, on cnbc, on fox, on msnbc, begins with the words i think but after a while people get confused by what is speculation, by what is innuendo, by what is fact. And as far as the viewer is concerned, be very, very careful of unsubstantiated information presented with great hype.

But we thought, we got a builtin audience, and Great Potential to build out the character to another place. Frasier was kind of like oneact plays. Mother and i moved here when i was a small boy after the tragic death of my father. I kept the pain of that loss buried deep within me like a serpent coiled within a damp cave. Okay, thats it. We always assumed the audience was smarter than most other people did. And we played to that. Just unschooled like liza doolittle. Henry higgins. Shell be ready for a ball in no

Dont consider a move until my fingers have completely cleared the piece. Whats taking so long . But i am analyzing my options.

We went everywhere together and celebrated everything together. And theres that period where youre looking to be out there on your own and the people you rely on are the ones who live down the hall. Here we go. Pivot. Pivot. Pivot pivot pivot pivot shut up shut up shut up friends permeated the culture in a way that was really special. Everybody was obsessed with the show. And it became like which one of these characters are you . If you were a girl, were you phoebe, monica or rachel . I got to tell you this really does put me in a better mood. The kids who were watching, the young audience, saw a
lifestyle that was aspirational. I wish i had an apartment in new york city that no one seems to be worried about the rent for. I wish that i looked like matt leblanc. I wish that i had Jennifer Anistons hair. One of the things that made friends a phenomenon is people beyond the laughs actually bonded with these characters. They emotionally were invested in ross and rachels relationship. I could not have done this without you. Okay. More clothes in the dryer . I was dropping my daughter off for Sunday School at our temple, and literally my rabbi stopped me and said, whats going to happen with ross and rachel . You look pretty tonight. Oh, thanks. The one with the prom video is one of my favorites. You guys, we dont have to
watch this. Yeah, we do. Come on. Come on. Wheres chip . Why isnt he here yet . Hell be here, okay . Take a chill pill. This seemed like a really surprising way to get rachel to know how ross feels. I cant go to my own prom without a date. Take her. You can wear my tux. Dad, she wont want to go with me. Shes learning something new and he thinks, oh, god, please dont let her see this. Please dont let her see this. Rachel, ready or not, here comes your knight in shining oh, no. Bye chip oh, dear. Ross sees himself and you see that look on his face and how sad he is because he wanted to take her to the prom. When she crossed the room, i still kind of get chills from it. When she crossed the room and gave him that kiss
[ cheers and applause ] the audience went insane. At the height of mustsee tv, thursday nights on nbc, 75 million americans watched thursday night. That was at the time onethird of the country. Ooh what is this stuff . The sweater is angora. Well, its wonderful. The machine that was nbc in the 90s For Comedy was untouchable. Youre not from around here, are you . It generated so much viewership and money and awards. You do not need this. Its the top of our wedding cake. Were not its not a scrapbook, its a freezer. No we were all kind of part of this chapter in television where we realized we were in the right place at the right time. Lets see how you like this, naughty boy. We certainly associate nbc of the 90s of having extremely successful sitcoms but they werent the only network that found their way to having some success. Tgif was on abc on friday, and it was their block of familyoriented comedies. I cant take it. I need the cake. It was not sophisticated television. But these were shows that people adored. [ laughing and snorting ] cbs. Cbs was in a really bad spot. They had just fallen apart over the early part of the 90s and had gone through a couple Different Network executives. But then suddenly they had this hit with an unknown comic. This was the year of seinfeld, no hugging, no learning, and this was a show being made as if it was produced in the era of the Dick Van Dyke show. I love you. There was hugging. There was learning. I love you, son. All right, all right. If you worked for me, your job was so go home, get in a fight with your wife and come back in and tell me about it. Dont sleep on the couch. I just cleaned down there. In fact, the pilot i put in this true thing that happened to me wherein i sent my parents a gift for the holidays of the fruit of the month club. And did you know you sent me a box of pears from a place called fruit of the month. Thats right. Thats right. How are they . And my mother reacted as if i had sent her a box of heads from a murderer. Why did you do this to me . Oh, my gosh. I cant talk. Theres too much fruit in the house oh what is happening . What do you think we are, invalids . We cant go out and get our own fruit . I tried to tell him. All right. Im cancelling the fruit club. The real story is where the real connection with your audience is. Thank god, all your families are crazy, too.

Johnny Carson wasnt just the host of The Tonight Show. Johnny carson was the man that america said good night to for 30 years. And on my watch, johnny decided that 30 years was a great time to take a bow and say thank you and good night. 30 years is enough. Its a good time to get out while youre still on top of your game plan. Johnny carson retiring in the early 90s was The Great Moment where a huge chunk of the ice shelf breaks off. Something that has been there for centuries, for thousands of years, suddenly is no longer there. A tremendous part of history. And thats lovely to have made your mark on an era like that. Johnny had told no one what he had planned to do, and we werent prepared. And that set off a game of Musical Chairs for who would get the throne, and there only was one latenight throne. Hi, you guys jay leno had been pretty much carsons regular Substitute Host when he went on vacation. You know whats amazing, only six months ago people were talking about donald trump as a president ial candidate. Right . Thats true. Since then hes had an affair, left his wife, run up debt of several million dollars, so i guess hes going to be running as a democrat, huh . Jay leno wanted to essentially just continue doing a Johnny Carsontype show. And David Letterman was the show immediately following carson. And they had different styles. What is your name . Im going to ask you to turn the cameras off, please. Okay, we just wanted to drop off this basket of fruit part of daves thing was he attacking authority, he liked that. He needed a corporate bad guy
to go up against. I was oftentimes that target. I can hear this Warren Littlefield guy whining all year long about not getting his name on the card last year. Hes on it. Look, what about me . I could be on there, couldnt i . It was always lettermans dream to be the host of The Tonight Show. He idolized Johnny Carson, rightfully so. The big decision thats had the Entertainment Industry buzzing is due this week. That of course is the fate of nbcs late night stars jay leno and David Letterman. Most of us thought the person who deserved to get it was David Letterman. He didnt get it. Jay leno got it. Leno, who earlier rode his motorcycle into a News Conference hosted by nbc entertainment president Warren Littlefield, still has a bruised ego about the way the network wavered in its support for him. When we found out leno was going to get The Tonight Show, we were all obviously depressed. We felt like we were being punished for making fun of them and not cooperating and not being as collaborative as we
could have been. And we also felt like we were being disrespected because we did 11 years of great shows. Just how pissed off are you . [ laughter and applause ] by all rights, David Letterman should have taken over for Johnny Carson, but his agent took a very, very aggressive stand. Were going to really control all of late night. Its going to cost you a fortune. And they put our backs to the wall. I can only tell you its been an honor and a privilege to come into your homes all these years and entertain you. And i hope when i find something i want to do and i think you will like and come back, that you will be as gracious inviting me into your home as you have been. I bid you a very heartfelt good night. The tonight show without Johnny Carson as the regular host made its debut last night. Jay leno emerged from behind the curtain, stepping into the big shoes that were filled for 30 years by johnny. Cbs came to us and made a very attractive offer. Here we go, number ten. Head cbs, tails cbs. Number nine letterman did place a call to Johnny Carson asking for his advice and johnny said, if it was me, i would leave. And i think that advice was really the linchpin. Letterman always took johnnys advice. The latenight wars are about to begin in earnest on american television. David letterman is now headed for cbs. Cbs had lured him over with a salary more than four times that of leno and given him what he really wanted, the 11 30 time slot. Now as dave and jay prepare to go head to head, one thing is clear latenight tv will never be quite the same. All of a sudden, theres a
talk show war. Start up your remote controls. The latenight race is about to begin. On monday, David Lettermans new show debuts here on cbs. Followed a week later by chevy chase on fox and a week after that by conan obrien on nbc. These combatants join The Tonight Show with jay leno, arsenio, and nightline. It became a crowded space and the competition became that much more difficult. In the third corner, his ratings fading rapidly, arsenio hall. Some tv writers think arsenio could be the big loser in this freeforall. When letterman came in, it essentially diluted arsenios brand because there were so many alternatives. Im sad to see you go because america is going to have a big chunk missing out of its existence. Losing arsenio, yeah, it was bad. He was the lone voice, gone. David letterman had the suits at nbc pausing for a moment. Did we make the right choice . Because he came out gangbusters and he was beating jay leno in the ratings. Theres some people who say, you blew it, that by picking leno to replace carson over letterman, that that was a big programming mistake. It was a shaky start. A really, really shaky first season start. Its True Confessions Time for actor hugh grant who is trying hard to put his recent encounter with a hollywood prostitute behind him. When hugh grant was arrested, it was big, Live Action News and hugh grant was supposed to do The Tonight Show that night. What the hell were you thinking . [ rim shot ] [ cheers and applause ] it all came together in that moment and everyone saw it and
thats it. We were never number two again. Hey, hey for us it was the fun experience. We got our own theater, an unlimited budget, weve got access to every star in the business who wants to do the show. Somebody bring me the jaws of life so, i think going to cbs was heavensent.

In the mid1990s if you took a look at the list of the 50 mostwatched shows on cable, at the top would be nickelodeon. Rug rats, blues clues. Dont you know cartoons will ruin your mind . Ren and stimpy had some very surreal, highconcept humor to it. This is the beginning of the splintering of the Television Audience and splintering of the family audience, really, because with families having three or four tvs in the house you had a kid watching nickelodeon, the dad watching espn sports, the mom watching lifetime. You know, they were in their own separate universes watching television. By the time of the 90s, mtv
wasnt merely a music channel. They were having Great Success in terms of creating shows that incorporated music but that also were shows and programs that stood on their own. Yes huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh that was cool Beavis And Butthead established what mtv could be because the shows were about making fun of music videos just like people in the audience were doing. Whoa, check out his neck. Yeah. Theres like all these bones and stitches moving around. Yeah. My manager would call me, like, hey, you got this big bump because you were on Beavis And Butthead last night. I sit there like a doughnut watching these guys. And i find them endlessly entertaining because i know and you know and the world knows, these guys are always, will be, and cannot be anything but idiots. Thats right. Mtv has a detrimental,
damaging, developmental effect on the sexuality, on the morality, on the spirituality, maybe even the physical development of our young people. Now we hit the 90s and once you can go for an audience of 5 million and have a successful show, you can say, i dont care if the parents dont like this. Can i tell you something, miss ellen . Of course, wendy. Dont [ bleep ] with me what . You heard me. Stay away from my man, bitch, or ill whoop your sorry little ass back to last year trey parker and matt stone were two of the funniest people i ever met. And their Success Story is proof that if you just stay true to yourself, you dont have to do anything else. People think, oh, you came and did the show and now youre big sellouts. The truth is, we were sellouts to begin with. Perhaps there is no stopping the corporate machine. I mean, we were sleeping at friends houses, had no money, and then One Fox Executive had seen a cartoon we had made in college and he said, make me another christmas video i can send out as a christmas card. He gave us like 700 bucks. We went and made this fiveminute short. I come seeking retribution. Hes come to kill you because youre jewish, kyle. Oh [ bleep ]. It went around the tv Community Like wildfire. I mean, it it was the funniest thing youd ever seen in your life. Go, santa somebody showed me the short. Go, jesus i thought it was hysterical. I called and said get them in here right away. Oh, my god they killed kenny. You bastards south park was able to be topical. South park really, really detests hypocrites. Christians and republicans and nazis, oh, my well, okay, mrs. Cartman, ill legalize 40th Trimester abortions for you. Could you imagine back then that these people would ever get on Network Television or any kind of television . Its a miracle. South park is a miracle. The early 90s the hbo shows start to kind of come into their own. And then have i always had these breasts . A lot of people want freedom. They dont want to go back to the networks, which are saying you can come to us where youll make more money but youll also have content restricted. You could go to cable and have no restrictions. Not make as much money but have freedom of expression, which almost everybody who works in these mediums wants. Some of the content truly was, you cant get this anywhere else. Youre a fantasymaker, the only limit on the kinds of fantasies is peoples imagination. Hbo turned to people who said, i cant do that on television, but you can do it on hbo. White people dont trust black people. Thats why they wont vote for no black president. Like a black brother will [ bleep ] up the white house. Like the grass wont be cut. Dishes piled up. Cousins running through the white house. Cookouts. Basketball going in the back. In the late 80s hbo was just sort of gaining ground for series. By the 90s hbo had started to begin its explosion. When we started doing dream on one of the things hbo said to us was, its got to be something that couldnt be on
network tv. Because hbo was driven by subscribers and not by commercials and selling advertising time, they had a different way of looking at success or failure. What they were looking for was critical acclaim. Youve watched letterman, youve watched leno, but what about larry . Larry sanders, that is. Hes the tv alter ego of comedian garry shandling. Garry shandling wanted to do a show that deconstructed the kind of show The Tonight Show was. Just pretend like youre talking to me till were off the air so it wont seem weird. Okay. Blah, blah, blah, blah. The Larry Sanders show was sort of cathartic. Because in the world of the Larry Sanders show, there was a network. You want me to [ bleep ] your budget . Is that what you want me to do . So it became this weird funhouse mirror thing, where you could use stuff from your misery, your career, as fodder. Dont take this as a threat but i killed a man like you in
korea, hand to hand. My boy doesnt want to do any more commercials. Larry sanders to me was, aside from being a Brilliant Television show can you say, hey now. Hey now. It was my everyday life. Im here for three good reasons. Last show. Big ratings. Movie coming out. Bim, bam, boom. The Larry Sanders show was very unique in that it was very deadpan. And really groundbreaking in its day. I think it made people really go, thats the level of work you may be able to do on a cable network. Please, do not flip around. Come right back. Hey now oh, you sound good. vo this is not a video game. And today can save your life. Sometimes a day at the ballpark is more than just a day at the ballpark. Stadium announcer all Military Members Stand and be recognized. No matter where or when you served, tmobile stands ready to serve you. Thats why were providing half off family lines to all military. But behr premium stain y can weather any weather. Overall 1 rated, weathers it all. Find our most advanced formula exclusively at the home depot. Its always been my problem. Lots of protection but nothing to protect. I wanted to do a tv series that was going to be relevant to teenagers. And its not about the parents solving the kids problems. Its about the kids basically solving their own problems. What are we supposed to do, sit him down and have a kidtoparent talk. No, you cant talk to parents on that mature level. Tragic but true. If the 60s had beatle mania, the 90s had 90210 mania. When tv guide had its youthquake cover, that was a sign that suddenly television was focused on these young people. My socalled life was the Punk Rock Version of 90210. It was earnest but not at all saccharine. It didnt have easy answers. It showed Teen Heartbreak in a way that was staggeringly real for the time. You like this. Like what . Like how you are. Hey jordan, you coming or not . How am i . How am i . My socalled life was your actual life. And the idea that everyone in high school is a misfit, that you have this deep insecurity about who youre supposed to be. You know how sometimes the last sentence you said like echoes in your brain . And it keeps just sounding stupider . And you have to Say Something else just to make it stop. Oh, i just remembered. I owe you 30. My socalled life was not necessarily the show the cheerleader or captain of the Football Team were watching. They were still watching 90210. But it was the people who maybe didnt recognize themselves in 90210 who felt like, ahha, now i recognize myself in my socalled life. Demarco asked me if you were getting a sex change. Exactly. I dont want to be a girl. I just want to hang with girls. Ricky was out on the show eventually, and that was a storyline treated with great sensitivity. And i belong nowhere. With no one. And i dont fit. I mean, it was it was so deeply felt. It was saying to the viewer, things that you have gone through, they matter. Buffy the Vampire Slayer depicted high school in a similar way to my socalled life except rather than just feeling like hell, it actually was hell. Her high school was literally built on top of hell. And so all of these creatures would come up that she would have to fight. Three in one night. It was a brilliant metaphor for adolescence and all the demons that you have to slay. You know, buffy was a
teenager, and she was still finding out who she was. One of the storylines that was very popular and much talked about was where she has sex with her boyfriend for the first time, and then in sort of the world of buffy, he becomes literally evil. There must be part of you inside that still remembers who you are. Dream on, schoolgirl. In order to save the world, literally, she knows she has to send him to hell. Buffy knows in an instant that angel has become good again. Buffy so she has this moment of reckoning that she has to decide whether to do this or not, and she makes the sacrifice to push him back into hell. The show was really working on multiple levels. In buffy in particular, we saw a character that was a reluctant
protagonist. Forced to make tough decisions. There was a kind of opening of the floodgates in the 90s for women. The idea of being an ideal, i think, was kind of smashed through a lot of the characters on television. Look, if youre a successful saleswoman in this city, you have two choices. You can bang your head against a wall and try to find a relationship or you can say screw it and just go out and have sex like a man. Sex and the city was a huge success right from the start. It was very funny, very clever, and very candid. Are relationships the religion of the 90s . These are women who are making a good living, they were independent, they were single, and they were sort of feeling their power. I said all of them. Bad waiter, bad waiter. What do you tip for that . I wanted these women to be objectifying men in the way men had always objectified women. All right. My turn. Sorry, i have to go back to work. You didnt used to be able to discuss sex as sex. Network shows, there never were people talking about orgasms or organs or sex. Okay, words are essential. Tell me exactly how he worded it. Weve been seeing each other for a couple of weeks, i really like you, and tomorrow night after dinner i want us to have anal sex. These are women who shared everything with each other and theyre discussing what anal sex means. It goes up there, theres going to be a shift in power. Either hell have the upper hand or you will. And should she do this or not . This is a physical expression that the body well, it was designed to experience. And p. S. , its fabulous. What are you talking about . I went to smith. The show took an interesting turn by really focusing on the relationship between the women and telling the story of them as really soul mates together as well. You did the right thing
buying that apartment. You love it, right . Yeah. And you wont be alone forever. Historically women are often set up in narratives in which only one can succeed. And so showing women not competing with each other and as supporting each other was also an important narrative change. Okay, girls, see you tomorrow. Okay. Nightnight. The show had a message of freedom and liberation especially for women that really resonated. I think Sex And The City helped make hbo a place for people to think, i wonder what theyll be doing next. Be right back. With moderate to severe Crohns Disease, i was there, just not always where i needed to be. Is she alright . I hope so. So i talked to my doctor about humira. I learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of Crohns Disease after trying other medications. And the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief
and many achieved remission in as little as 4 weeks. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Be there for you, and them. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. At crowne plaza, we know Business Travel isnt just business. Theres this. A bit of this. Why not . Your hotel should make it easy to do all the things you do. Which is what we do. Crowne plaza. Were all business, mostly. I look like. , most people. But on the inside, i feel chronic, widespread pain. Fibromyalgia may be invisible to others,

For some, lyrica delivers effective relief from fibromyalgia pain. And improves function. Lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions, suicidal thoughts or actions.

When you put these strangers together in a house. When people stop being polite and start getting real. Do you sell drugs . Why do you have a beeper . You hadnt seen anything like that on television, that kind of open, honest discussion of race. I can try as much as i can to try to deal with you, but ignorance is ignorance. Stupidity is stupidity. And thats it. Black white, green, purple, blue, whatever. The real world becomes this Big Bang Moment for reality tv. The idea is that, oh my god, all we have to do is take cameras and put them on people and well get great stuff. You had in the next season in l. A. A young woman who gets an abortion, and the camera literally goes right up to the doctors door. Give me a hug. By the third season in San Francisco you have a young man who is dealing with aids. Im hiv positive. When he told me he was hiv positive, it was just like no, not him. I like this guy and i dont want him to have to suffer. It was such a triumph that pedro had the courage at his age to come out as someone with
aids. In my small Gay Community on campus, we all felt like, wow, he was our hero. He falls in love. And he and his partner, shawn, have a ceremony. You know, this is long before samesex marriage was legal. The tv shows werent doing this. Movies werent doing this. I have to believe that all the pain that im going through, that all the anger, all the frustration, that theres something bigger than that. Aids has claimed a young man who made an enormous impact on a generation of young americans. Pedro zamora died in miami today at the age of 22. Im really glad i got to know pedro zamora. Im grateful that his rich and fulfilling work is still remembered today. And i hope you enjoy and learn from pedros life of compassion and fearlessness. You have to credit The Real World with sort of helping the acceptance of the lgbt community. Because there werent many portrayals of guy people period on television at that point. Her name is marla. Im seeing a woman. In the 90s, gay characters were always secondary or third. There was never a gay character that was the lead of a show. So you want to go look at apartments tomorrow . Great idea ellen degeneres, the comedian, was about to come out. As a lesbian. And she does it on time magazine. Yep, im gay. But they decide that the character Ellen Plays On Tv will also come out. It is just reprehensible that abc, now owned by disney of all companies, is going to feature ellen as coming out of the closet. It wont be long before god knows what, you know. Bestiality, incest, who knows. We were getting bomb threats. Disney was really getting a lot of flack for even thinking about having a comingout episode with ellen. Im 35 years old. Im so afraid to tell people. I mean, i just susan, im gay. Ellen coming out was a huge moment for me personally because, you know, i was a closeted gay guy. Gay child at that time. And it was the bravest thing i saw. That felt great. That felt so great. Initial report suggests abc made a bundle on ellens highly publicized outing on national tv last night. The broadcast was accompanied by comingout parties all around the country, including one in birmingham, alabama, where the local abc station refused to broadcast the show. She did a great thing. She was brave. I made the decision that i wasnt going to live my life as a lie anymore. I was i belong with everybody else. And thats what i finally did. We used to say ellen opened the door and we knocked it down. I love my mister tell me lazy tell me so tell me im crazy maybe i know cant help loving that man of mine take it, jack and pas de bouree, pas de bouree, im gay will grace was a great show in sort of helping a mainstream Straight Community connect to the Gay Community. I think i can fix this thing with your landlord but might get a little ugly. Play hardball, baby. Throw low and inside. Hes crowding the plate and weve got to grace, sports, youre losing me. I figured 25 of the country wouldnt watch the show just based on the fact that we had two gay men on it. Give it to me but if we could make believe that will and grace would get together. Will, i told you, you live with a hetero long enough, youre going to catch it. Maybe we could get people to watch thinking that would happen, knowing it would never happen. Suffering sappho you know, its a shame. An image like this is completely wasted on us. I remember the network calling every other week saying, can will just fall in love with grace . And the creators were like, well, thats weird, hes gay. Gay people dont do that. Thats why theyre gay. Why wasnt i your girlfriend, queer bait .

Great day of the morning, people. Victory is mine. And actors no longer felt that it was a comedown to come work in television. What did i ever do to you except deliver the south . You shouldnt have made me beg. The segment of the audience that showed up to watch west wing, they watched the Mcneil Lehrer newshour, they watched west wing and documentaries in foreign languages, right . If the name of this nominee is leaked out before i want it to be leaked out, im going to blame you and youre going to find that unpleasant. Ive got to tell you something, toby. Youre hot when youre like this. 90s television was the first
wave of what we now have, remarkably specific niche programming. Freaks and geeks really sympathized with the losers and had great empathy for its characters. Because you dont see that i got something going right here freaks and geeks breaks my heart every time i think about it. Im sorry. Did i crush your twinkies . It lasted 18 episodes. And theyre perfect 18 episodes but nbc hated it so much. Roll down the windows because i got a big one abrewing. They thought it was a show by losers, about losers, for losers. They hated it. They wanted no part of it. They killed it. At the end of the 90s, the jig is starting to be up for the
networks. Basically, quality migrates to cable. Oz comes on in 97. And its set in this fictional penitentiary. Wow. What a strange show that was. In oz, sometimes the things you cant touch are more real than the things you can. For instance, fear, hatred, fear, loneliness are more real to me than a shank and a soul. It was jawdroppingly violent. It was a mens prison. It probably should be. But, you know, it kind of announces the idea that hbo is going to get serious about doing scripted dramas. Its finished. Its over. But hbo really in my mind comes to its own in 1999 with the sopranos. Woke up this morning got yourself a gun sopranos just is one of those shows that was a benchmark change. It changed a lot of things for everybody. Throw out the handbook. Tony soprano, the lead actor in a drama, he killed a man. We watched him. He took his daughter on a college tour. Pretty, huh . Yeah. It was just a melding of a guy and a world what the [ bleep ] you doing . What the [ bleep ] you doing . And a behavior that promoted all the feelings that you would have for a guy that you love in a guy that you hate. You know . Sopranos came on tv and it really showed us the future, whether we realized that was going to be the future of television or not. This husband of yours, carmella, how much we love him. Hes the best. Oh, come on. Hes like a father to me. Just make sure nothing happens to him. That character in that show was a great inspiration to a great many shows that came after it including one that i worked on. You know what i want, tony . I want those kids to have a father. They got one, this one, me. Tony soprano. And all that comes with it. Oh, you prick. The 90s is a mixed decade of tv. Some of my favorite shows of all time aired in that decade and everybody was watching them. There was still that communal sense from the earlier decades of tv but it was being applied to shows that were reaching higher and farther, and they were great. Because there was so many channels and because so much storytelling was going on, you started to get more variety of stories being told. Get the skull film, schedule a c. A. T. Scan, and call the neurosurgery resident. Objection television showed us women in
their depth and began to show us much more of a range of the africanamerican community. Im always here for you. Started focusing on teenagers in a more realistic way. Things changed us. And evolved. What are you talking about . Had you thinking a little more Outside The Box in terms of what people might want to watch. Youre out of order, hes out of order. This whole trial is sexy. After ten years of the 90s, we had a whole new Television World that could take us anyplace we wanted and even places we had never imagined. Was that the oven timer . Thats right, my friend. Its time for baywatch can you believe they gave stephanie skin cancer . I still cant believe they promoted her to lieutenant. Youre just saying that because youre in love with yasmine bleeth. How could anyone not be in love with yasmine bleeth
