'Monday Night Football' on ABC: One last drive
Turn out the lights, the party's over.
After a 36-year run, "Monday Night Football" will air its last touchdown Monday night on ABC. A change in the broadcast rights will move the second-longest-running primetime series to ESPN, leaving behind a legacy of memorable moments, high drama and well-known characters that will live on in TV history.
In its heyday, it seemed like everyone was watching. Not only did it showcase the best of America's most popular sport, it did it with style and drama. "Monday Night Football" revolutionized the way sports were shown on television -- but not just that: "Monday Night Football" revolutionized when sports were shown on television. Long before ESPN, "Monday Night Football" propelled them from weekend afternoons to primetime.
