Anyone remember the significance of this word as only George Costanza
could memorialize it?

You are the winner of a brand-new "Moops" bumpersticker printed by
Vandelay Industries.

You will be proud to wear this on your vehicle - made of high-quality
latex it is presented in an eye-catching combination of yellow on
black, sure to grab the attention of your fellow Seinfeldians while
tooling around aimlessly in your car.

Just forward your snail address to me via e-mail and one will be on
the way to you ASAP.

Cheers,

Donna

aka "Queen of the Castle"

Yes.....yes!!

He captures just the right condescending tone and adds that wry, smart-ass
smile that you'd love to rip from his face.

The real question is...was George right? George really digs in when he
thinks he's right. If it's not a Trivial Pursuit question, it's a parking
space.....

In The Bubble Boy, George and Donald are playing Trivial Pursuit, however the
real "MOOPS" question comes from another game.
(Canadians don't make those mistakes. :-) )


THE REAL STORY
================
The game that contains the REAL misprinted Moors/Moops card is the home edition
of the Jeopardy game from the early 1970's.

Double Jeopardy, game #16, the $100 answer and question:
A: Only after she defeated them could Isabella consider Columbus' requests.
Q: Who are the Moops?

========================================
Dave and I are the only two Seinfeld fans, that I know of, who own this rare and
almost priceless collectible.
========================================

In fact I have more than one - bidding starts at $10US + SH.

Sophie? Do I hear $16CAN?

oooo - I love this one!

My second favorite Seinfeld show of all time
- "The Chinese Restaurant"

The guy kept saying "Cot-light" and no one from the party of Sein
understood that that meant them.

:)

Good one...

Hiya Dave!

I wondered how many of us old-timers still popped into this group
every now and again...

Watcha watchin' on the tube these days???

Of course "The Sein" is no comparison to the current crop of sitcom
candy - but one of my favorites currently and for a long time now has
been "Frasier".

As for the newer shows ... I really have to think about this ... I
guess I would have to say that the writing on "Becker", "Will and
Grace" and "Ellen" is a cut above the rest.

Take care - nice to see you online! :)

Cheers,

Donna

You can't avoid the "pop in". :-) Actually, except for short breaks,
I've never really left!

>

My can't miss shows:
24 (I was hooked by the gimick, now I'm hooked by the plotlines.)
Survivor (what can I say, I've become quite the reality TV junkie.)
Amazing Race (see above)
Football all day Saturdays, Sundays, Monday nights and the occasional
Thursday.
Seinfeld reruns, almost daily.
And I've been watching old Just Shoot Me episodes in syndication. I
never watched it in prime time, but I really like what I was missing.
And that's about it.

I'm off "Frasier". Once Niles and Daphne hooked up, I basically lost
interest. And lately, I've been foregoing watching it at all in favor
of "24". But I'll still watch the old Frasiers, like when he had the
affair with Kate, the station manager.

I've hated Ellen like poison since the first time I saw her do
stand-up. I cheered when her first show was cancelled, I'll cheer again
when the current one is gone. And the over-the-top in-your-face
homosexuality on "Will and Grace" turns me off. (You know, do whatever
the hell you want in your own bedroom but not on my TV, okay? Thanks.)
"Becker" I would probably watch but it's up against Monday Night
Football, so no chance. And "Friends" has become pure drek since Marcel
the monkey left years ago.

Sigh. "Seinfeld" has essentially ruined me for the entire sitcom genre.

Thanks. You too. Hope you stick around.

I'd have to go with Donald on this one. The correct answer *is* the
correct answer. A misprint doesn't change history.

Yes! Yes! I just finished watching the third episode, and I'm definitely
hooked! In fact, I was hooked just after the first episode. It's quite
riveting--I find that I'm all tensed up as I watch. I'm going to have to
start taping it and watching it later, though; the long commercial breaks
are driving me crazy.

Me too.

But I thought last night's (third) episode was not up to the standard of the
first two. The *girl* chase through the streets was too long and there were not
enough plot twist surprises (I think we all knew who was going to be shot out in
the desert) What hooked me was the first episode's airplane scene - completely
fooled me! Great Stuff! . . . also they should be drinking more coffee at 3:00
AM.

Anyway it is well done, good production values, nice use (overuse actually) of
technology, good suspense build ups,

(BTW - would you trust the Secret Service guys? - like after how they helped
the Kennedy's I mean - okay, so it was before you were born, I know!)

I am taping it too, I suspect they are laying in some clues as to the mystery.
So it will be interesting to see them in retrospect.

Can't imagine where they are going to go in 21 more hours.

AARRRGGGHHH!!! The Fox station here in Cincinnati pre-empted prime time
for the Bearcats basketball game against Wright State (Which was a
BLOWOUT, and not worth watching). I therefore missed my 24 and was
wondering if you could give me a quick breakdown of the plot parts I
missed. I'd really appreciate it and maybe if others read it they'll
get hooked on the show too!

Please please please...

Andy(atuc.com), is VERY pissed about missing 2:00-3:00...

www.mightybigtv.com has recaps of many shows, including 24.

It's going to be replayed on Saturday night on Fox (in NY anyway). Check
the newspaper.

Yeah, that kinda' thing always drives me crazy. Luckily, "24" seems to be
re-run a lot (alot?).

FOX often airs the episode again on the weekend, and this week it will be
shown on Saturday at 8:00pm CST ("check your local listings"). If you have
cable or satellite dish, the FX channel also airs "24" on Monday nights. You
can catch this week's episode next Monday at 9:00pm CST, and possibly again
at 11:00pm CST (second time on Monday may be a different episode).

'Cause they know that this is the type of show where you can miss one
episode then decide you can't keep up so you stop watching.

Well it's a good thing I got this post today then! I'll check out FX
for the rerun before Tuesday's episode.

Thanks again!

Andy(atuc.com), might not miss an hour after all!
