" It was, by almost any measure, the last great TV show," said television critic David Hinckley.
" It's one of our fondest, dearest pop culture memories."
Sullivan was a broadcasting pioneer at many levels during television's infancy.
As TV critic David Bianculli wrote," Before MTV, Sullivan presented rock acts.
Before Bravo, he presented jazz and classical music and theater.
Before the Comedy Channel, even before there was" the Tonight Show", Sullivan discovered, anointed and popularized young comedians.
Before there were 500 channels, before there was cable, Ed Sullivan was where the choice was.
From the start, he was indeed' the Toast of the Town'."
In 1996, Sullivan was ranked number 50 on" TV Guide"'s" 50 Greatest TV Stars of All Time".
