This Week in TV History - This week marks one of the most solemn events not just in TV history, but American history as well. It was 35 years ago this week that the nation mourned the passing of President John F. Kennedy. Television news came of age that week as millions of Americans sat glued to their TV set for four solid days. The nation also watched in horror as the president's probable assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was gunned down on live television.
