JOHNNY CARSON

This is one of my personal votes.

I never really appreciated just how much a simple TV show could mean to me. I guess it's not only his show, but just remembering the way things were growing up that makes me miss the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. It's not the same without hearing that theme every night while doing homework or just sitting around with my family as a kid. To realize that it's gone forever makes me realize that nothing stays the same. He was a staple of Americana. He was always going to be there. Well now he's gone, and so is an innocent part of all of us. Whoever thought we'd be worrying about terrorists back when Johnny and Ed were sitting besides Burt Reynold's or Bob Hope plugging their latest movie or tv special. I miss that.
