    QOTD – Interest in the show will wane, signaling the need for a format change. But demands on your time will affect what that change will be. Personally, I would like to see fewer shows — say, 2 or 3 per week — but with increased emphasis on quality. Perhaps 1 show a week will be a panel of 3 or 4 ‘co-hosts’ who will taste and discuss a few wines, another show will include a ’special’ guest. And a third (and last) will be you doing the usual.

    qotd: in 2008 gary will start a second internet show exclusively about football so that he may return to actually doing a wine show and gary will begin using 2 buckets…one for spitting and the second for wasing wine. the latter of which he will place behind wine library at 5:30pm.

    QOTD: prediction … no TV (but probably have to turn down a couple of more offers) … Paul Shaffer will leave Letterman and join the show as musical director and Stuttering John Melendez will leave Leno to become the announcer … Tonight on The Thunder Show special guest appearance by Robert Parker with Paul Shaffer and the band and now heeeeeeeere’s Gary Vay-Ner-Chuck!

    PERFECT TIMING!! Gary, you saved me 60 bones. Was going to pull the trigger on the Clio and de Crasto today. Based on your reviews, maybe I should just put that money into the Chateau Angelus 2005. I’ve had my eye on it for months now.

    QOTD: Hey, about syndication or franchise?!
    GV, whatever happened to the lazy friday couch, it is missed; “Mott, couch it up!”
    Have a great weekend everyone.

    For 2008, could we have a monthly GangTasting and have a shipment of wines sent to us so we could taste along with you. The Christmas Eve show will be my first such, but every time you have this tastalong, I want to be involved.

    QOTD: in 2008 free shipping codes every day! j/k. My guess is more secret pack / semi interactive type stuff.

  13. December 21, 2007

    Antonio Touriño

    in 2008 you’ll change the name of the show to “The Mott, Link it up, Show!”

    Yeah!

    QOTD: My prediction for WLTV in 08. Lots more guest appearances by industry people and Vayniacs alike. More on-the-road episodes. More contests. More give-a-ways. More schwag. At least 8 free shipping announcements. Continued diversification. You know… more of the good stuff.

    Kev and Ams

    QOTD: I see a new opening and a new closing for the show. Also, more guests and contests. =)

    QOTD: Gary, by the end of 08 the President of the U.S. will be seen extending his glass and pouring some wine on the table as a salute to his White House guest. This will become the rage and necessitate the creation of the Thunder Pad to place on the table to catch the wine. Thunder Pads will sell in the millions and become an art form in itself.Padools will be Radool. Cheap knock-offs from China will enter the country, but will be unworthy of a Padoolspill. The craze of Padoolspilling will of course run to excess in the CKC whose anxious parents and profs will point their fingers at you,GV , and you will be villified by the press and compared to the Oak Monster.

    I think you will garner a greater audience and in doing so will become even more frustrated at the ratio of lurkers to posters.

    The show is great and I wish you the best in 2008.

    Yo Gary Thunderchuk, Mott RULES but the show doesn’t have to change at all to keep us Wine Geeks watching!! LIVE IT, LOVE IT!!!!!

    Probably the best pure GV show I’ve seen. Big Ups Gary. You were like the Clio today. Lots of Barry, not a lot of TO.

    Love the Mahi! Just drank my last bottle of Nimbus. Time to order some Mahi.

    QOTD: WLTV will hire me to replace GV as host. We will review only German Rieslings exclusively – Ja, zat vill be fun! Auf Wiedersehn….

    QOTD: sirius???

    JonE

    I too G-Man, have always been a fan of classy not slutty.

    QOTD: 2008 life is great. it rhymes and that’s what I’m hoping for. Thunder show?…Discovery Channel or Travel Channel.

  23. December 21, 2007

    Jon

    QOTD: You will have “The Gary Vaynerchuk Show” on TV

  24. December 21, 2007

    Shad

    I hope WLTV stays just as it is, however, growth and change is good and if the demand and dollars are there……..

    I think the statement that the “Mott” shirt isn’t happening is a load of you know what.
