In 1998, “polka king” Frankie Yankovic died at his home in New Port Richey, Florida, a week after suffering a fall. He was 83. It was a grim coincidence that the non-relative common surmaned “Weird Al” was on Drew Carey that same date.

In 1999, CBSʹs “Chicago Hope” medical drama breaks an obscenity barrier for network television with actor Mark Harmonʹs use of a common barnyard epithet. Harmon, playing Doctor Jack McNeil, is hauled before a medical review board to explain why a promising teen-aged baseball pitcher had to have his arm amputated when an infection set in following a series of operations. “---- happens,” Harmon said, using an epithet for excrement. Neither a CBS spokesman nor Henry Bromell, executive producer of the series, could remember a time when censors had allowed the word to be used. “Itʹs nothing I havenʹt tried a couple of times before, except this time, I won,” Bromell said. Since producers felt strongly that the word was important for artistic truthfulness, CBS chose to support them, spokesman Chris Ender said. “Clearly this is not something happening on a weekly basis,” he said. “This is an isolated incident. Itʹs not a sign or a signal that CBS is loosening its standards.” CBS is, in fact, taking special steps to respond to any of its more than 200 affiliates who may be concerned about offending viewers, he said. The network planned to feed the video to affiliates Thursday afternoon, instead of live Thursday night, to give the local stations the option of masking the word, he said. A handful of stations expressed concern upon hearing about the expletive, Ender said.
