• 14:27:32: Hello folks. @gauravsabnis here to do a TV visuals quiz. Will start in about 10 minutes.
  
• 14:28:01: Every visual will be taken from or associated with a TV show. You just have to identify the TV show. Fairly easy stuff.
  
• 14:38:52: Alright, the TV visuals quiz is about to start. 3,2,1 for the first 3 correct responses.
  
• 14:39:53: Simple concept. There will be a visual. Identify the TV show it is taken from or associated with. Starting with a demo question (no pts).
  
• 14:41:03: Q0. Just as a demo. And to check attendance levels. Identify the show. http://ow.ly/i/7vj6
  
• 14:46:19: Alright, decent attendance. That was really a sitter. Most of the quiz is very easy too. My return to kweezzz after ages, so exkooj.
  
• 14:46:49: Q1. Identify the show this building is associated with. http://ow.ly/i/7vjF

• 14:52:52: Poor @amit_das was undone by being too specific. Had he just said The Office, he'd have got it. He added UK to it, hence wrong.

• 14:54:31: Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap!!!! Question cancelled. Uploaded the wrongly edited pic. The answer is right there. :(
  
• 14:55:31: I feel so stupid. It would've been interesting to see how many South Park fans get this.
  
• 14:57:21: Wow, even with the answer right there in the visual, people are giving answers other than South Park. :P New Q2 coming up.
  
• 14:57:54: That was the first real video used in South Park. Pam Brady as the dead girlfriend of Mr. Adler, the shop teacher.
  
• 14:58:35: Q2. Famous, even historic location. Visual often used in which show? http://ow.ly/i/7vkI
  
• 15:02:19: Most people are stumped. Clue - it's a statue of a young Babe Ruth.
  
• 15:06:37: A2. The Wire. Statue of Babe Ruth outside Oriole Park in Baltimore. Points only to @thecricketcouch and @anirudhpatil
  
• 15:08:02: Q3. Which show is this location associated with? http://ow.ly/i/7vlo

• 15:33:02: Q8. One of the most elegant sets of wheels on TV ever. Which show? http://ow.ly/i/7vnt

• 15:48:56: @raytida 5 minutes per response is quite par for the course.
  
• 15:51:09: A10. That 70s Show. "Hello Wisconsin!!" Points to @raytida @shreyasgopinath @pitusultan
  
• 15:51:32: That's 4 consecutive 3 pointers for @raytida. Despite missing the first half of the quiz, he is now in the lead.

• 16:00:19: A12. Dexter it is. The kill room. Points to @raytida (groan!) @achals @theholycrow
  
• 16:01:14: Q13. IMPORTANT - Points only for the answer with 3 words, not 2, if you know what I mean. Show? http://ow.ly/i/7vpV
