what are the 2 most powerful moments you've seen on tv?????

For me it was not 9/11 (saw it live, through our midtown office windows, not on TV )

Probably the Challenger disaster.

And some of the celebrations after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

From my young adolescent years a scene of a milk bottle melting on a doorstep in the nuclear holocaust drama 'Threads'

Around the same time the sitcom 'Allo Allo' provided me with precious glimpses of stockings and suspenders that had a powerful physical effect on me

What we call suspenders in the U.S., you Brits call braces. So, are suspenders what we call garters?

I always knew that what we call pants you call trousers, but I only recently learned that pants in the U.K. refers to underwear.

I think I got my first pre-adolescent proto-hard-on (stress on proto) watching Elizabeth Montgomery on Bewitched.

June 89: Tiananmen Square protests

November 89: The fall of the Berlin Wall

In another vein, but the same year, some great memories of the Chang-Edberg 1989 Roland-Garros final.

I'm guessing that garters is right - I would do a picture search to check but my colleagues here will point and shout
