Super into media preservation that's why Cartoon Network/Boomerang/TCM exists. Challenged Rupert Murdoch to a fist fight twice because he hated his guts. Pro-Palestine at a time when it was political suicide. Big on global warming (Captain Planet was basically his baby). Thought anti-abortion people were bozos. Created WCW just because he thought wrestling was fun. Against media monopolies and thought few companies owning every station would hinder creativity.

Dude pretty much let anyone who worked for him with an idea use IP Turner owned to make whatever they wanted to a certain point. There's a story that he saw Space Ghost Coast to Coast randomly one night and thought it was so cool he called up the studio and demanded they aired it on the Turner Superstation.

Plus he rocked that mustache and was married to Jane Fonda for a few years. We'll never have another one like him again.
