"I mean it. I think something's happened to news and entertainment. News has become entertainment. They don't give you what you need, they give you what you want. And entertainment has taken a turn, too. People aren't much interested in virtuosity. They just want to feel better when they watch something and that changes it all. So I don't know, maybe that's why Broadway was so great and I'm going to Vegas."

When the show began, nationally at 10pm ET, only a few minutes of the Pops orchestra's performance was televised--apparently the very end of the concert that actually began earlier in the night.
The rest of the so-called "Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular" consisted of John Mellencamp (two songs) and half an hour of canned music, set to a fireworks display. The Boston Pops orchestra was never seen again.

So also was Rod Serling, and he went on to make TV history, not just Twilight Zone, but "Requiem for a Heavyweight" Death of a Salesman" "Planet of the Apes"...
Not to forget Bob Hope...
