QOTD:

Lets see best TV show; Rin-Tin-Tin, maybe or Captain Kangaroo, Mr Moose was a happening guy or Bless Me Father from the BBC, speaking of BBC how about Faulty Towers? All good but I think I will go with, James Burke’s Connections.

Guess: Is Nikolai Volkoff hiding out in the pumpkin???

QOTD- Tough, real tough. I can narrow it down to three: “24,” which rocks, “Miami Vice,” which defined a decade, and “Babylon 5,” as the best Sci-fi series ever.

I lived in Turin, Italy for 9 months while working for a tour company in preparation for the Winter Olympics in ‘06. Drank countless bottles of Barbera. Good stuff.

QOTD: Sopranos, The Office, In Living Color, Duck Tales

In the Pumkin I am guessing is a signed copy of Gary’s book, I saw him put it in thee.
Great show, I have had Barbera in the past and it was excellent, it was probably alot to do with atmosphere and being with friends that made it that much better.
QOTD- A Team, I still catch the reruns sometimes but it seems alot more cheesey now then when I was 10.

QOTD: toss up between “All in the Family” and MASH with an honourable mention to Seinfeld.

thanks for today’s episode, youve sparked my curiosity on Barbera. I am a big fan of Chianti / Sangiovese, so look forward to broadeneing my tastes…

First, good, good show. Love da Barbies.

Mr. Pumpkin has to have something in it. Last contest there was nothing and all Vayniacs know that so you had to put something in his head. I’ll go with a pack of candy corn in one of those plastic packs from years ago. It’s a Halloween theme.

Hold it, I see “Bookman” will be seeing you in Rockville! You have got to be kidding me. I get to see the G-Man as long as its not this Saturday. Please please not be this Saturday. If there is a G-d.

Where’s the link??? Mott?

QOTD: This is the toughest QOTD since I’ve been watching but I have to go with “Walt Disney Wonderful World of Color” as a kid and as a mature adult “LOST” and “HOUSE” are at the top.

QOTD: Not just the greatest television show ever but also the best 86 hour gangster movie ever made – The Sopranos. The ending was not ambiguous – foodies check the episode number. No accident there.

First thing that came into my head was Star Trek – the original with Kirk. In the pumpkin – I’m going to take a gamble on it being the new WLTV Link It Up Mot ‘T’ Shirt.

Favorite all time would be Futurama. I own every season and the new movie, it’s the only TV show I’ve dished out that many bones for. As for the pumpkin, I know I’ll never guess randomly so I’ll just cop out and say that Gary’s book is in there. We all saw him put it in there dammit!

QOTD: Tough choice but when the smoke clears, I would opt for “24″ over “Seinfeld”.
