Yes! I placed a $500 order at Wine Library last week. I think my order and the 500 internet orders like it, will save WLTV.

I think this “6 More Shows” thing is another ego stroke like the episode where you said, “If I don’t get ### comments, the show is over”. I recognize it because my four year old, Max, does similar stuff for attention, and I too, do all kinds of crap to stroke my own go.

If the show is truly ending, I guess I will have an extra hour and a half per week of free time and I will probably go back to buying wine locally.

I just found ya and yer quittin’? BS I say. . . BS!!!

Bob,

That’s nuts. I’m ordering some. Gary needs to make a Vayniac wine tha goes “Squirt”

QOTD: I can’t, but I’d bet that Mott and a couple of Thunder Cats could.

Is Gary running out of ideas for the show? Maybe some tips from the following video wine bloggers may help- Check them out!

what are you, dave chappelle?l

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.

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

bluff 6+393=399

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

QOTD: Who can save WLTV? The Vayner-nation can! Visit http://www.SaveTheThunder.com today. Post tasting notes from a wine you recently tried. In honor of the 400th episode, letâ??s shoot for 400 posts!

Mott, link this up!

apple TV??????????????????? hmmmmmmmm
could it be?

Also, Digg it up at:

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.

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.

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!!!

bluff
in #200 he said that at least he will go for 500 5 is his favorite number

I think you bluffing GV bring it

(but we do need to post more anyway is the least we can do)

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….

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)

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

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.

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.
