* On the M*A*S*H spin-off ''Series/AfterMASH'' episode "All About Christmas Eve", Father Mulcahy gets a TV so that the long-term patients at the Missouri Veteran's Hospital can have it for Christmas and beyond. However, the airing of a soap opera with a story about a cheating wife infuriates a vet who fears that his wife is running around on him, and he summarily shoots the TV.

* Several stories and explanations of Music/ElvisPresley doing this exist, some, perhaps, less true than others. He's rumored to have kept a basement full of spare TV's so he would always have a fresh set handy after destroying another one. One television set shot by Elvis [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kxypq3mCWF1qa8ibao1_500.jpg is on public display at Graceland]].
