The iconic TiVo DVR, once a game-changer for TV viewers in the 2000s, is officially discontinued—ending all hardware sales as of Oct. 1. TiVo will still support existing devices, including those with “lifetime plans,” but the focus shifts to its TV operating system on select connected televisions. The final model, TiVo Edge, launched in 2019, marked the end of an era that began in 1999 and revolutionized how we watched and recorded shows. As streaming takes over, TiVo’s legacy lives on in modern TV tech.

A seminal moment in TV history was Betty Ford's hilarious cameo on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show." Mary thinks it's a prank, and won't believe it's the First Lady on the phone. #marytylermoore #bettyford #tv #television #sitcom #sitcoms #seminal #seminalmoment #tvhistory

On September 21, 1998, Will & Grace premiered on NBC and made TV history. The sitcom broke barriers delivered unforgettable laughs, and gave us one of the most iconic ensembles in prime-time.

Eleven seasons, two runs, countless cultural moments.
