I think that Hot Girl was the girl who lived in the apartment across the way after Ross moved in. Remember Joey kept trying to find her apartment. She was way after the telescope girl.

Quickly checking in with this …

Ross’s meditation **Unagi**

Friend’s collective favorite boyfriend of Monica’s **Fun Bobby**  
I’ll probably suck at Simpsons Trivia and I know I’ll totally blow at Furutama.

Bravo **Jack**. For a second I thought everyone had forgotten about **Unagi**.

Still missing the name of telescope girl though.

Hey, how about hijacking that Simpsons thread back in IMHO. We could make it into a Simpsons trivia thread.

Or, we could just start a new one, but hijacking an already existing thread somehow seems more exciting than going into the trouble of initiating a brand new one, doesn’t it? 😃

Friends is my favorite show and the only one I watch with any kind of regularity. This thread has shown me how little I really know.

I love the Simpsons, but I know I’d get creamed by all the fanatics out there.

I guess I should give up the internet and reading so I can concentrate on the important things in life.

I hate to admit it but I know way too much information about “The Brady Bunch.” I’m even more embarassed to admit that my husband can identify every episode by just watching the first few seconds of the show. He’ll say “Oh this is the one where Marcia gets hit with the football.” Or “this is the one where Peter gets fired from the bike shop.”

My brother and I used to have a game where we would try to guess which episode it was the fastest. We usually had it right within five seconds of the first scene, and sometimes during the establishing shot of the house.

Scary, eh?

Wow, I can tell you every detail of an I Love Licy episode by the first shot. I adore that show 🙂

Sorry, I Love Lucy. I had a lot to drink tonight which explains that - Party Foul!

Yeah, I wasn’t sure that was the right episode. But didn’t telescope girl live in the same building? They saw her watching them while they were watching Ugly Naked Guy? And Ross is now in UNG’s apartment, so Hot Girl, Ross and Telescope Girl all live in the same building.

I thought the Unagi thing was a form a Karate that Ross had done years before…I thought that episode was kinda dumb and wasn’t paying attention when it was on.

As for Simpsons trivia…go ahead without me. I have never watched it. Brady trivia I could definately do, though!

Oh yeah. My bro and i can do that with the Simpsons, and we are usually right, we’ve seen so many.

I love the Brady Bunch, it rocks! …but not as much as I love Gilligan’s Island. Now that is a noteworthy show.

I’ll create a new thread for the Simpsons and if you’re interested, you can come. Would Simpsonia Trivia go under Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share, or In My Humble Opinion?

30 sounds too low. I’d say they’re all 38
