What do you mean “Save the Show”?? Yesterday you used the word “retirement” and now you’re talking about keeping it alive…? I mean…did you get cancelled? Has the writers’ strike finally made its way to WLTV? Or are you reformatting? I have to admit, I’m a conspiracy theorist and I don’t think you’re going anywhere. It’s not like you to just walk away. #400 will be the end of the show as we know it, and you’ve got something in mind for the future.

QOTD: What can I do? It shouldn’t matter what I can do. It is all of us including yourself. Remember, it is us with a little bit of you. We all understand you will always be doing your part in changing the wine world, being that is your job, but you are the motivation for a lot of us. But if you really want to know what I can do to help save the show, I will always continue to post comments and continue to turn my friends on to the show….assuming one still exists. And as soon as I get my wristband, I’ll send in a picture. All I can say is I hope you honor what you have told us over and over again about how the shows of 2008 will rule over all previous shows.

And if you require anything from us to continue, all you have to do is ask….I know you have a big enough following that would do anything on your command.

QOTD: Nothing. The die has been cast and whatever’s going to happen will happen.

Any sort of major change short of going to a ‘real’ TV program will more likely lose viewers than gain.

As long as I can still get WLTV on my browser, fine. If it’s something lame like, “Mott got a real job, meet your new cameraman, Rico!”, my guess is new name, new format (guests, field trips, things requiring a budget), less frequent (weekly or twice-weekly shows), more structured, and probably more ad-based.

I know what we can do to keep GV happy- send him in lots of pickles!

Rico
I think he might chage the name or something in the show and after 400 is going to be something new

( I know I know I need to stop with my theories)

Tuscanbob, thanks for the Freshenup gum commericals. Hilarious…and I need a laugh after GV’s saying 6 more days! And MB Dallas thanks for setting up http://www.SaveTheThunder.com!

QOTD: All of your Vayniacs who will miss you dearly. And Mott. And Thundercats. And the greater possibility of owning the Jets if you can get more wine sales with WLTV. Or 1 show per week. Or having Apple endorse your show (seeing as you have a Macbook, Macs on the floor of the WL, an AppleTV, an iPhone, most likely an iPod….

It’s possible my math is off, but wouldn’t 6 more episodes mean you are stopping short of 400. How do you stop at 399? Sorry GV, I don’t buy that you done doing the show. Too many things don’t add up or make sense. All those ‘08 ambitions for the show: food pairing, more answered question, epic contest, plus that Canadian guy? Now suddenly 3 weeks in your done? Not too mention you reference big things for episode 400 now suddenly your done? Haha, funny.

So what you aren’t calling it the Thunder Show? Is that “retired”? Do you scare us by going black for a day? How about you just give me that Apple TV for figuring out your ruse.

QOTD: Can I? Sure why not. Me, myself, and I would love that show. I pick a few wines I know nothing about, give my “expert” opinion, while spouting obnoxious catchphrases nonstop. I could do that. Hey, wait, that sounds a lot like a show I already watch on the internets. I’m thinking you should just keep doing it instead and save me the trouble. I’ll be too busy celebrating a Pats victory anyway!!! Plus honestly, it’s safe to say you’ve probably forgotten more about wine than I’ll ever know. Plus the “Jainiacs” has absolutely no ring to it at all. What a sad day that would be… Welcome to Wine By Jai TV, I’m your host J-A-I… Gary, you need to save us all from THAT!!!

QOTD: Gary if you are wearing out on taping the shows, take WLTV to a weekly show! Then your fans will be eagerly anticipating your weekly reviews. But hold it to 30 mins or less since more than that can wear even your viewers out.

I didn’t think you could keep taping it on a daily basis for a prolonged time. And with your recent public exposure, I expect that other enticing options are presenting themselves…but don’t leave your fans out in the cold. You started a movement – you need to keep it going somehow.

QOTD: How to save WLTV? Why not make some scratch and go to Itunes? Do it once a week for a half hour at 99 cents. Or why not switch to a written blog and have a weekly top 5 wines of the week? Gary’s wines of the week or grow a pair and do 400 more episodes for free.

One of three things are going on with this ‘end of the thunder show’ thing:

1) Six show takes us right up to Superbowl weekend. The outcome of that game, either way, is a crushing blow for any Jets fan…he’ll come back on the following day depressed and declare that he won’t be able to ‘bring the thunder’, thus, the end of the thunder show.

2) announcement of the apple tv setup sparks a new moniker for the show

3) He’s announcing that he’s going on broadcast TV…Fine Living or Food Network….the next ‘Thirsty Traveler’ but with wristbands and action figures.

My money’s on option 1

Is it true that after WLTV shuts down, you’re going to be a critic for Wine Spectator ?
January 25, 2008

Rico
we can save the show we need more comments thats what GV likes!!!!!!!
and is fair he give us a great show and he only ask for comments
so people star posting more comments
thats my 2 cents

This is tough. Just started watching over the Christmas holiday – and have been averaging about 8 episodes a day since then.

Would be sad to see the show end, especially after all of the “2008 will be out best year ever!” comments – just hoping the WLTV crew ends up doing something they enjoy.

You’ll always have an audience here Gary.
