To counter-act the effects of the other review I feel compelled to write one of my own. I am not a closed minded individual and because of that I can enjoy the multiple aspects from one episode of The Thunder Show to another. After almost 700 episodes do you really think that Gary V. must follow the cut and dried format that an elitist wine snob would want? It is time that people open their eyes and realize that the younger generation needs to start somewhere. It is not as if wine will die a sudden death once the wine elitist generation dies off...NO, there will be a new generation that enjoys wine just as much, and who knows, maybe they will be even more open minded because of shows like this. Shows that realize there is a demographic emerging that wants to learn about wine. The same demographic that enjoys fart jokes and practical jokes.Collegehumor.com is awesome and so is Gary V.

as an enthusiastic alcoholic i can appreciate the premise of the show but my brain hemmoraged when vanderchanuk said peeps and the others said jinx. I could watch more than 17 seconds if it involved chainsaws or exploding engines but it doesn't. Now vandercanuck is debating jinxes and boxed wines. Its people you don't like talking about things you don't care about over and over.
