  • QOTD: Favorite all-time television show? Can’t do just one. Brady Bunch tied with Superfriends (childhood memories), Six Feet Under, Moonlighting, the news, Sunday afternoon local TV showing movies starting Bruce Lee, Christopher Lee, Godzilla, or Bob Hope.

    Good show today, but the lighting looked kinda dark.

  • Oakmon’s BF

    QOTD: Either â??Ripping Yarnsâ? or â??Columboâ?. Iâ??ve watched every episode (of WLTV) in order and Iâ??ve finally caught up. This is the first time I saw an episode the day it was recorded. I own a 2004 Pozzi Barbera in a fancy bottle. It will be my first barbera, and it will be one of the first wines I have when I come off my diet after a doctor appointment exactly one month from now. Until then, no wine.

    Favorite TV Show, Monty Python’s flying Circus! Loved it back then although I can’t get my wife to watch it on CD. I also liked Faulty Towers and Ripping Yarns.

    Had a Barbera for the first time in over a year just 2 nights ago. It was out of California, by Jim Clendenen of ABC. It was super tart and sour, but after it opened up a little bit I liked it more and more. Definitely a food wine though.

    QOTD: Gotta go Seinfeld.
