Tv shows like Power Rangers are not always what they seem on-screen
@@infamouswickedjokestarI couldn’t get the appeal of the series, though Yellow Ranger Emily from _Power Rangers Samurai_ and _Power Rangers Super Samurai_ would be a good friend to have.
18:11 If Black Dynamite taught me one thing about Bill Cosby, it's never count on sex criminals. Especially after Hannibal Buress found out his X-rated abuse.
@@Jeremiah_Rivers76 I actually agree with you big time. She'd make a great friend to have right besides to be honest.
English? Tommy Cooper? He was WELSH and proud of it!
As an Aussie I still can't get over the death of Steve Irwin. I remember my School teacher told us when the school bell rang it was so shocking to me that he was gone.
I'm glad Terri, Bindi and Robert are continuing his work after 17 years.
I remember Bindi at a young age giving a speech about her father
As a Texan I can't get over it either. I was the average fan. I would watch it if it came on. I loved Steve Irwin and his wife as a person though. He had a great soul and was extremely good with all kinds of animals. I'm an animal lover as well and had an enormous amount of respect for him.
RIP Steve Irwin. You're definitely missed and we could use you now, but God wanted you home.
Great man
I did like him but he was not original he was doing his father's croc work and he took his newborn son around large very dangerous crocs and was walking backwards----IF HE HAD TRIPPED and dropped the infant the crocs are faster than than him and would have swallowed that baby whole in a second, he did that all for show. I would have divorced him if i was married to him. Just because you like someone doesn't mean you must approve of every move they make. you dont bring infants around dangerous animals. infants cannot give their approval. we don't own our children.
There's even a fourth generation with Bindis child
Loosing Steve Irwin was so devastating to me.
I'm just so happy his family is carrying on his legacy.
I swear Robert Irwin is basically a younger version of his dad.
I’m glad he & Bindi are doing so well for themselves.
Yes *LOSING* Steve Irwin in that manner after all he had seen and done throughout his career was truly tragic and so crazy!
Yeah, the kids shill for disgusting places like sea world which keep animals locked up in disgusting conditions.
The fact that David thought he had to alter his sexuality through conversion therapy is so heart breaking and the fact he was pushed to that point by producers and his cast members is absolutely disgusting. I am so relieved he was able to be at peace with himself but he did not deserve any of that
The fact that "conversion therapy" exist is disgusting.
It is so unfortunate that he went through that. My son met him at a convention in Texas and he was so awesome to him and was very understanding of my son’s disability. He was amazing in once and always and cosmic fury!
I have gone through a similar situation at school, except it was over my diagnosis of ADHD, I was harassed by multiple students and the teachers just sat there, it got so bad that I wanted to take my own life and assumed no one would miss me
@@Frieowksf1293 I’m glad you didn’t take your own life. I know I’m a random person but I’d miss you
That’s what the boomer society believes
Dan Schneider made people’s childhoods, and then his behavior broke them, making us never able to look at those iconic shows the same way again.
Technically, you can still love the shows
Just not the man who made them
Ikr. Like r. Kelly's music. You can hate the guy, but can you hate his music?
@@saveThe90s88 I Believe I can fly is still one of my favorite songs
(Terrible person, but good song)
I haven’t seen a Dan Schneider show since 2018/2019.
I know how you feel, i cant watch none of them shows. They are full of pedophile jokes, sadly we can no separate the art from the artist when the artist use children.
Rest in peace, Phil Hartman. He was taken from this world far too soon, under tragic circumstances. All of his coworkers seemed to really like and respect him, and during the Newsradio tribute episode, it's clear that they're not acting.
Same
They forgot to mention that had kids, or at least he did with his previous wife.
@@APAMVsHe had kids with the wife that killed him then herself
What year did Phil Hartman pass away again?
@@teamsteed1Phil Hartman passed away May 28,1998, on my 9th birthday, I remember that birthday vividly , Phil Hartmans death was on the news all day & it was definitely a sad day.
David Yost was one of my favorite Power Rangers growing up, and to hear how he was treated absolutely infuriated me. I hope he's doing well
Why was firing Roseanne one of the darkest moments? Ridiculous list
True
AS a brit i had to laugh when Tommy Cooper was described as a famous musician! Magician would be correct & he died doing what he loved so hardly 1 of tvs darkest moments!!
R.I.P Steve Irwin! You are a legend in animal conservation!
David Yost went through all that!? That's beyond Heartbreaking.
Yea I think that was the reason he left the show
@@fidelgarcia2224 It was. The bullying obviously really put him off.
Conversion therapy? There is no such thing. Or there could be such a fake thing. You either are or you aren’t.
It's disgusting that people would do that to another person just because they are different from them.
@@erinmccutcheon3751 He has said he thinks that was why he was not made a Power Ranger in Season 4 aka Zeo.
Yeah, what David Yost went through was disgusting.
It was but not all of the cast members treated him badly

Wow, David Yost’s story was already sounding pretty bleak at number 20. This is going to be a dark, dark list.
Phil Hartman was such a lovely person 💔
Lowkey, Phil Hartman represents the entire Golden Age of the Simpsons
Phil Hartman: You might remember me from such programs as _Saturday Night Live_ and _The Pee-Wee Herman Show_
(In all seriousness though, he will be missed dearly)
There’s gotta be something darker than Roseanne’s firing.
Christine Chubbuck
@@MrJhonbakeri know riiiiight. I heard about that incident. So wild
Like Budd Dwyer's suicide on live tv
The Steve Irwin loss is still a trigger for us. As animal advocates, he was one of the rare "good ones", that TRULY cared for the animals, and tried his best not to displace or disturb them nearly as much as his colleagues. He was a true "good 'un", and his death still resonates years later. He is missed, and now, with Bob Barker's passing, we have lost two major advocates for the defenseless in a relatively short time.
Alligators and poisonous snakes are defenseless?
@@derekharrington8787 compared to our weapons they certainly are.
Speak for yourself.
Jon-Eric Hexum.... my goodness. I haven't heard his name in so long. That man was BEAUTIFUL. My 14 year old self was obsessed! ❤
Phil Hartman's Murder Suicide...I'll never forget where I was when this happened.
Where were you?
Ugh, yes!!! What an ugly thing she did! So sad. B*tch needed a lot of help.
I think the voiceover was meant to call Tommy Cooper a MAGICIAN not a MUSICIAN. Although he had released some songs, he was mainly known for magic-themed comedy.
Tommy Cooper musician?
Don't you mean comedian and magician?
I remember that episode of The Dating Game. You could feel Alcala's creepiness through the TV screen. The refusal of the woman who picked him probably saved her life.
If I remember right, he was wearing the earrings of one of the women he killed on that show. When he was caught, footage from that show was used to convict him of her murder.
David should have sued and the casting crew that treated him like that should be ashamed of themselves
lol you can’t sue people for making fun of you
@@LostHope84 You can if it's creating a dangerous or hostile work environment. You also may be able to if you can prove that they caused enough emotional distress. It is a thing you can totally do, and has been done successfully many times.
Bill Cosby, Steve Irwin, and the horses on Luck were the most striking examples for me.
If you ever do another 20 darkest moments, I recommend including the following:
-The Duggar Family (unspeakably disturbing stuff)
-South Park's "201" getting heavily censored
-"Electric Soldier Porygon"
-The WBD write-off spree (2022)
-The Oscars' flagrant disrespect for animation (2022)
-The SpongeBob bait-and-switch at the Super Bowl halftime show (2019)
-Christine Chubbuck takes her own life (1974)
-R. Budd Dwyer (disturbing stuff)
-The aftermath of Sinead O'Connor's SNL appearance (1992)
-Wardrobe malfunction (2004)
-The Swan (reality show, even worse than Extreme Makeover)
-Jim Henson's death
-Mister Rogers's death
-The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer
I could go on...
So many to choose from too. Jason David Frank should be included too. His sad passing still shocks me to this day
Damn this was a very interesting list, only knew about South Park 😂
The South Park one has never stopped infuriating me. I'm so sick of having to walk on eggshells around religious fundamentalists.
It doesn't help that those two episodes are awesome and impossible to watch without torrenting (at least the last time I checked).
Look true Christians adhere to the teachings of the Lord, do as you will, its your choice, Hollywood is against the bible. @@christopherhaygood2839
A VERY YOUNG blonde girl [maybe early teens?] was driven to a producer's large house by her mother who told her ''Go in, go up the stairs and do whatever he tells you to do''. THAT is Hollywood. filthy right? boys too. my uncle told me who worked for Universal studios for decades, a very famous female was drunk during her christmas tv special.
I still remember the footage that was all over the news the day Steve Irwin died. The scene depicted was actually kind of peaceful if you were unaware what had happened, just an aerial shot of a boat on the great barrier reef, crystal clear water and a sting ray swimming around. Juxtaposed with the breaking news text overlay that Steve Irwin had died.
Tommy Cooper’s death is a prime example why we don’t want to see anyone die on live television
Because when they do happen, it gets very horrific
Poor David Yost
Adult Swim Axing Moral Orel (2005-2008) After the season 3 episode Alone was a real gut punch coming from the same network that aired The Boondocks (2005-2014) Season 4 admist Aaron McGruder's untimely exit
I remember being so heartbroken hearing about Steve Irwin. He was my childhood hero.
Rest in Paradise, we still miss you.
I’m at least grateful that his kids Bindi & Robert are carrying his torch and continuing his legacy.
He would be so proud of them.
Can you do Darkest Moments in TV Journalism? One moment from 1974 is considered to be lost media and made into a biopic in 2016.
What was that?
@@kimberlywatkins2881 Christine Chubbuck, a news reporter from Florida, shot herself on live television on July 15th, 1974 after having severe depression.
I’m about 98% sure I know what you mean
Christine Chubbuck?
@kimberlywatkins2881 Christine Chubbuck who self canceled on live TV. The movie is called Christine. See also Budd Dwyer who did the same thing but he was different because he was under investigation for corruption.
13:19 Coreection; Tommy Cooper was a popular English magician, not a musician
Welsh, thanks very much.
The man had acute stage fright his entire career is what I heard. That inner demon made him reach for the bottle. I remember seeing it happen. At first I think the production staff thought he was clowning around.
Perhaps if you have a 20 more darkest moments...include Rebecca Schaeffer from "My Sister Sam".
She's in another video. It's about people who inspired changes to laws or had laws made because of their deaths.
David's situation was horrible no one deserves to be treated that way and all I can say is (speaking for all fellow PR fans) That we are happy for his return and wish him the best. ❤
The Joseph McCartney televised Communist hearing and how brutal he was to his victims was pretty dark.
The OG blue ranger deserves respect
My father watched the $1.98 Beauty Pageant when I was a kid and I remember my mother would chastise him as he laughed
Amazing video watch mojo of dark moments in television history ever,fantastic job.
You guys are great!😊😊😊😊
Tommy Cooper wasn't a musician, he was a magician.
He was a comedian.
Tommy wasn’t a musician he was a comedian one of the best us brits ever gave the world!
I'm a little surprised they didn't mention the "unpleasantness" surrounding Jimmy Savile.
I was about to ask, how could they not include Jimmy Saville?
The fact that men like Dan Schneider go so long without facing any repercussions while being a disgusting human being (with kids in mind no less) and then all that does happen to them is they get fired is so sick, so many rich men do horrible things that they should be in prison for but often get away with it completely or get a slap on the wrist a decade down the line
“Say, go through the darkest of days, heaven’s a heartbreak away.” Justin Bieber and DJ Snake
I remember number 1 most of all. I heard the news, just sat down watched the series on marathon for hours, missed school the next day, then stayed up WAY past my bed time to watch the service.
To this day, I still want to go to the zoo, walked where he walked, see the crocs he fed and taught me so much about. I watched Bindi and Robert grow up, I'm watching Grace grow up and she knows who Grandpa Crocodile is.
...k...
"He got bored and started playing with a gun" is never a good sign for anyone.
13:19 “A popular English musician”
I think you mean magician 👍
13:20 do some research! He was a comedian and magician, and DOA is not a term used in the UK!
Phil Hartman is such a tragedy. He would have done so much more with his life….and those kids on Glee like so many others could not handle the celebrity. Anytime a kid is given success at a young age they should have to be in therapy and have mandated classes on how to handle it.
That extreme makeover story is heart wrenching. People complain tv is too safe and too pc these days but the things we used to do to people for tv is nuts.
What happened to David Yost was disgusting.
It just shows how some people are in society.
R.I.P to those on this list who passed away.
The only other thing that should have made this list, and I'm glad it didn't was the death of Owen Hart in 1999.
That said, how do you think all those people in the arena were thinking, since they just witnessed someone die right in front of them.
I remember hearing about Owen Hart the next morning at work, and being absolutely crushed by it. I hadn't been able to catch that PPV and it was such a shocking thing.
Is that how David Yost pronounces his name? I have Yosts in my family and when we say it, it rhymes with Toast.
It is pronounced like toast. Some people who do the stories pronounce it differently than others. I really like watching Amazing Top 5s, and they're all Canadian. They say words very differently... For example: they say "about", and it sounds like "a boat".
@@versansky75or sorry being soarry lol
They pronounced George Peppards name wrong as well.🤷♀️
Tommy Cooper was NOT a musician but a MAGICIAN!
The fall of Cosby is really something. He established himself on television and stage and earned a doctorate in Education. At one point, he was worth so much money between his show and his work for Kodak, Jello and American Express that he contemplated buying NBC. Not investing in the network, but buying the whole thing. That didn't happen, but one can only imagine what the television landscape might be if Cosby was the owner of one of the "Big 3" networks. What we didn't know at the time is that his raging ego appears to have lead him to think that he could do as he pleases. He was wrong. By the way, Irwin only died at the scene because some numbnut in the water with him pulled out the barb. Although it hit him in the heart, that barb also acted as tamponade to the wound. If it would have been removed in an O.R. setting, he may have survived. Many stabbing injuries with knives result in the same situation and, if stabilized in place, can--potentially--be survived. You NEVER remove that piercing item in the field. Pax.
Dumb post.
True about Irwin and barb.
What about the Jenny Jones Show's murder scandal where former guest Jonathan Schmidt killed Scott Amedure, who revealed his crush on Schmidt on the show?
I don't think that ever aired (they opted not to)
@@iHeartsNostalgiaPit Given what happened in the end, not airing it was for the best.
I remember hearing about this murder on Greek television back in the day, and me being a gay teen, I can't say it traumatized me but made me aware of the dangers we gay people face. Sad but a true fact to this day...
@@stud28gr You have my sympathy. No one should be hated because of race, color, religion, gender, or sexuality.
@jeremywilliams5141 Thanks, bro. I appreciate it!
To this day, I'm still amazed Steve Irwin was killed by a stingray. I always thought a crocodile would eat him.
Actually the crocodiles hired an assassin, the stingray, to do the job on Steve Irwin. It's one of the most hotly debated conspiracy theories of the 21st century.
The police ruled that Jon-Erik Hexum was NOT playing Russian Roulette and yet those stupid rumors still persist nearly 40 years after his death. He was exhausted, sleep deprived, working a crazy schedule and had fallen asleep on the set between takes. He’d been acting with an unloaded gun all day, and the loaded gun was supposed to be locked up between takes. It wasn’t. It is surmised that he woke to more filming delays and frustratingly put the gun to his head in mock frustration like we do a finger gun to the head., “Just shoot me.”He put his trust in the industry and sadly that trust was misplaced.
It has been reported that he was alone when the accident happened. So how can they claim it was RR? If he was at fault then why did the studio pay his family in the lawsuit? The narrative doesn’t make sense. He was a good guy with a heart of gold, yet he’s remembered only by his death, inaccurately at that. If anyone remembers him at all. Most don’t. He deserves better.
Russian Roulette or weird dramatic gesture, it was a crazy thing to do. I can't imagine how being tired would make a person more likely to do that. Or you would at least check the chamber before doing it. And doing a dramatic gesture like that when there was no one there to see it was really insane.
"If he was at fault then why did the studio pay his family in the lawsuit? "
That's not uncommon at all. Large companies will often pay off the family even when they know they would win a lawsuit as the payment is usually smaller than the legal fees would be. It would also avoid keeping the bad publicity for going on longer.
@@Jeremy-ql1or sleep deprivation can make one do all kinds of stupid stuff. If I’ve lost 2 night’s sleep I refuse to drive for fear someone could get hurt. I also have trouble waking up, if I rush out of bed and try to do something, I’ll bump into things, knock stuff over, spill stuff. It’s not pretty. Some people don’t wake as easily as others. And that’s on a good day. Add in sleep deprivation and it’s a recipe for disaster. Especially if he’d fallen into a deep sleep and was awakened abruptly.
If he had been working with an unloaded gun (are there some on a set that are never loaded? Can someone answer that? I don’t work in the industry so I don’t know), and he knew the loaded ones are always locked up, then I could easily see why the mistake was made. Dumb mistake, sure. I’m not arguing that. Unfortunately he paid for that dumb mistake with his life. A mistake he can never correct. At least not in this lifetime. But it’s wrong to call it Russian roulette, and it’s very wrong to say he was stupid in general. He wasn’t. He was actually very intelligent and had a degree in philosophy. One mistake in life (in this case fatal) doesn’t make one stupid in general. And to mock someone over one dumb mistake is wrong and it hurts the loved ones that are left behind to hear those comments. It’s cruel. (That’s not directed towards you specifically, just people in general.)
The studio was unethical, period. I don’t want to get into detail as I spoke with his family and I don’t want to betray their confidence but some of the witnesses were coerced into not speaking out. That alone tells me the studio knows they messed up. I have heard that the guns are usually handled by an educated weapons master that makes sure no mistakes are made with the guns on set and lock them up when not in use. That particular day the weapons master was sent home for budget cuts and an uneducated prop guy was left to do the job on set. Why was that allowed? Why was a loaded gun left on a set with a sleeping star? Sounds to me like the studio bears a huge chunk of responsibility for the accident. There is some reference in the court documents I saw that the gun was somehow defective. But I didn’t see the documents in full so I don’t know what the proof of that was, nor what it ultimately meant in the context of the accident but there is that too.
Bottom line is that there were several mitigating circumstances that lead to his death, things that we know nothing about. And things that perhaps alone wouldn’t cause an issue but together spelled disaster. We don’t know for sure. You can say that you would’ve at least checked the chamber but you weren’t actually there. You can’t say with authority that everyone would do what you’d do if it was you. People think differently, and circumstances can muddy the waters of clear thought. But saying it was Russian roulette (when the police confirmed it was not) or saying he was stupid in general is wrong. He was actually a really incredible person inside and deserves far better than what has been said about him. And better than the rumors the industry spread to discredit him.
David Yost went through a lot of emotional and mental stuggles for being himself now as a kid when power rangers first came about I didn't know if he was gay or not and to be honest it never even entered my mind so the fact as an adult learning about wot he went through and to go back years later shows immense character 👍
Oh that Phil Hartman one still hurts! Steve Irwin as well that one hurts deep!
I would add the Jenny Jones controversy from the 90s. An unaired taping of her show led to a guest murdering another guest.
Steve Irwin literally called himself the Crocodile *Hunter*. He spent his whole career antagonizing wildlife, it was bound to end badly eventually. Dark maybe, but he brought it on himself.
The Budd Dwyer incident always gets me. 😳
this breaks my heart
Turned out stories CK told on stage were true and people got outraged. They were fine while he was telling them on stage before.
In my country one commedian said: "I made a loot of poop jokes. In a few years someone will say I pooped on him while driving a car or something, and they'll lock me up"
When i was working in a bank i had a customer who was very old, terrible parkinsons, couldn't sign his name so he always came to me because we got to know each other. Through chatting i found he used to be a chauffeur for the stars throughout the 60's-70's. He told me that he picked up Tommy Cooper from a show in London to drop him back at his hotel, as the journey ended Tommy reached forward and said "Thank you very much, now you have yourself a drink on me" whilst pressing what my old boy thought was a fiver tip into his hand. Turned out it was a teabag. Legend.
David Yost....man that really hurt to find out that he was being bullied. I am glad that he got through it all.
I wonder if Matthew Perry's death would qualify for a later edition of this video
A celebrity dying from drug abuse would not be considered extraordinary.
@@SWLinPHXYeah totally, with no drugs in his system. Idiot.
Tommy Cooper's death was awful for some in the UK. We as a family used to sit and watch The Variety Show every week and we were watching that week too even at a young age I knew something was wrong with the funny magician (not musician as said 🤦). Still remember it to this day 😢
OMG Blue Ranger was always my favourite Power Ranger my daughter was obsessed with the show so obviously I watched it too 😂 so disgusting how they treated him I really hope he is ok now 😊
Watching someone die on T.V. must be really traumatic.
I remember being so pissed off about the Lethal Weapon situation especially after reading Clayne Crawford’s side of it because I was on his side since I had heard that Damon Wayans could be a bit of a diva on set and Clayne was arguably the single best part of the show as Riggs. Damon wasn’t really all that good as Murtaugh to begin with. So what I never understood is if the producers had to fire Clayne, then why kill off Riggs? Why not just recast the part?? Riggs was literally the Lethal Weapon as the title suggested!
Wow how sad it is for a person has to think he’s not good enough be of they cared for sad everyone should be able to love who ever they fall in love with period
David Yost did not deserve that treatment.
Dan Schneider, Louis CK and Bill Cosby definitely deserve the canceling. It's crazy to see how people put up a front on TV for two seconds of fame but they are actually crazy.
I been called ugly all my life. Sometimes suicide pops in my head, and but I rebuke it every time. Amen.
...ok...
I remember when Steve Irwin died. They showed his dead body on multiple newspapers!
Ah. I just looked at it. It was a picture of him swimming with the stingray; they just happened to use that along with the cover and i thought that was his dead body. Yeah...probably not a good thing to show on a shelf to a six year old@@user-vb4ii6yi2y
How bored do you have to be to fire a blank at your temple? Them things still pop… Sad that he passed away but what the hell man.
Imagine you and your best friend at the time were living it up having a sleep over...then the first thing you hear when you both wake up, on the news...STEVE IRWIN DEAD 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Never felt so guitly for having a sleepover until that moment.
Morning plans were canceled we just cried eating cereal
Uh... are you related to him? Or know him personally?
@@samw6344 dude i was like 13, my friend was 12, we were kids.
Also the sleep over was in the middle of the week so there must have been a break for some reason, but it was a few days before my birthday so we were celebrating and it was supposed to be our last sleepover ever cuz we had both started middle school.
We literally woke up to the news lady talking about it.
Regardless of knowing the person or not, both of us being massive fans were still heavily impacted by the death.
It also just ruined the mood that morning.
...
Heck when Leonard Nimoy, Alan Rickman and David Bowie all past I was devastated, and I was in my 20s by them.
...
You dont have to know the celebrity to be hurt by their passing.
@BVBGirl-3313 No, I'm not saying you can't feel hurt when someone you're a fan of dies. But "guilty for having a sleepover " is a little much. Your sleepover did not cause his death. That's the weird part. Did you not invite Steve Irwin, and that's why you feel guilty? Cus had he been at your sleepover, he would still be alive.
@@samw6344 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
We were kids who felt like we shouldnt be having fun, irrational kid brains.
@@BVBGirl-3313 whatever you say
Yea This Top 20 Was Crazy 🤦🏾♂️
You forgot the controversy of 60 Minutes interviewing Jeffrey Wigand and CBS standing for Brown & Williamson
As someone who has been a prop master, YOU DO NOT EVER AND I MEAN NEVER PLAY WITH PROPS ESPECIALLY FIREARMS AND BLADED WEAPONS!!!! I have literally made it a thing for the stage to say for them to lay the prop down after the director calls cut, on the floor.
considering that people die from fucking around with props no! I don't need to make myself feel important when I already am. My job is one of the most important on any set, which is why i am given the power to make my own rules. YOUR WELCOME@@user-vb4ii6yi2y
George Peppered 😂
REALLY !!!!🤣👍
Louis C.K. is one of the "20 Darkest Moments in TV History"? Shure.
RIP to the ones that were lost
Not to be considered sadist, but because of Oshi no Ko being the hit series that it is now, I'm loving these videos that dive deep into the dark side of the entertainment industry, because we all know that not everything that happens there are roses and flowers.
This is just 20 things that have happened before.
You guys forgot about “Megan Wants a Millionaire”!
Megan wants a millionaire was a dating show spin off of Flavor of love of which Megan was a contestant. One of the male contestants on Megan who was eliminated early on in the season killed his supermodel girlfriend after leaving the show. He cut off all her fingers and pulled out all her teeth to hide her identity before dumping her body. After the body was discovered she was Identified by the serial numbers on her breast implants. After that was made public her killer hanged himself.
The Megan Wants a Millionaire show was promptly canceled.
For clarification the girlfriend the man killed was not Magen from the show just incase there was any confusion.
I remember this because I was a fan of Flavor of Love and the spin offs of Flavor of Love Like Monique’s Charm School, I Love New York and Megan Want’s a Millionaire.
That’s insane
These weren't really "Dark Moments"; they were just kind of behind the scenes scandals. Also, it seems like some of them are pretty tame. That guy getting fired from the Lethal Weapon show for yelling at people doesn't seem like something that would go on a list like this.
While I find all of these shocking and/or disturbing, the one that hits me the hardest is Bill Cosby. He was a big part of my life. As a child, I watched his cartoon Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. As a family, we watched I Spy. As a teenager, I was into his stand-up comedy, owning a lot of his albums. What I loved about his brand of comedy was that it was clean, wholesome and with no f-bombs constantly dropped. He had my parents seal of approval. He was hilarious in Mother, Jugs, and Speed, a movie my friends and I went to see. As a young adult with a child, I remember watching The Cosby Show with my son. To say Cosby was known as America's Dad is an injustice to the millions of others out there who, like myself aren't American. To me, he was the All-Round dad! Finding out his darker side years later was the ultimate shock! While I still have the fond memories of my 'life with Cosby', it comes with a heavy heart for all his victims.
Mainstream media of old has a way of hurting our childhood memories big time.
David Yost literally walked off the set of Power Rangers ZEO when gay jokes were being made. Back 30 years ago, gay's weren't accepted or respected as they are today. In Power Rangers Dino Fury, they had their first lesbian couple - the female green ranger had a girlfriend
Ugh, I forgot about the "1.98 Beauty Show"...man... our family watched that when I was a kid, and I guess I had blocked/repressed that. I've never seen anything so mean spirited on Television, ever, and still haven't since.
Tommy Cooper was NOT English. He was a Welshman from Caerphilly, Wales
I wish Irwin was alive long enough for me to see him on TV or any other media. Sorta reminds me of the kratt brother's from wild kratts, I guess that's how the old people saw Irwin the same way I saw those two.
So sad what happened with George Reeves, before Christopher Reeve he made everyone believe a man can fly 😭😭😭😭
Such sad and horrific situations.😢😢😢😢
Substance use disorder?Is that another phrase for geeked out your gd mind?
I think so. They're using that term all the time now 🙄
19:22 It's a shame he got stung by a stingray, even before Happy Feet was released.
That misprounciation of George Peppard's name is hysterical.
Yes, Americans should pronounce it "Peh-PAAAAAAHHHRRRRRD". Like they park their cars in the "Geh-RAAAAAHHHWWWWJ"
The A Team was about a special forces team from the Vietnam era. Women complaining they weren’t getting more screen time is like a man complaining he isn’t a main character on a show about the Miss America contest.
Roseanne felt so bad that the cast and everyone at the show lost their jobs, so she agreed to step down from the show and the show was brought back without her called The Conners
Man I miss Clayne Crawford on Lethal Weapon. Literally the best character in the show imo he had much depth
Is no one here commenting on the poor girl who committed suicide because of her looks? Suicide is the greatest tragedy that can happen to someone. This saddened my heart.
As a point of clarification it was the sister of the contestant that committed suicide, not the contestant herself. They do say that, but it's a bit confusing.
Your comment is a matter of opinion, but yeah, it's beyond tragic.
unpopular opinion: apart from the feud with Lea Michele, I don’t think Naya Rivera’s death was ever part of the glee curse, she sacrificed her own life for her son’s life, it was bittersweet, #RIPNayaRivera
Man rip Steve Irwin 😢. A truly great wonder of a guy gone too soon
