I had my very first roast beef sandwich (from Rax, not Arby's) to the "Breaking the Lease" episode of I Love Lucy. So everytime I watch that episode, I think of roast beef.

Tomsbtone Pizza reminds me of seasons 1-3 of Happy Days, because I used to watch my tapes of those episode while eating Tombstone pizzas.

The episode "Apartment" of NewsRadio reminds me of grilled cheese sandwiches, since I recall eating one while watching it.

A local restaurant's pizza reminds me of The Brady Bunch, mainly the later seasons, because... you guessed it, I used to eat it to my tapes of the show.

I'll post some more if I can think of them. What are some of your food/TV show remembrances?

Junior mints, calzones, Chinese food and low fat frozen yogurt always make me think of Seinfeld. :lol:

These foods remind me of certain shows, usually an ep in particular:

Brussels sprouts: Leave It to Beaver (Beaver did not want to eat them)

Spaghetti: Bonanza (Hoss calls it funny looking and tries it for the first time)

Pancakes: Green Acres (Lisa's infamous "hotscakes")

Walnuts (in the shell): The Dick Van Dyke Show (dream episode, closet full of walnuts)

Pickles (large): The Andy Griffith Show (famous episode, Aunt Bee's "kerosene cucumbers")

Jumbo pretzels: All in the Family (Archie and Mike both love them)

I'm reminded of The Waltons when I see Arby's roast beef because Will Geer was their pitchman in the late 70's

Pickles make me think of the Walton's. Or more specifically the pickles for sale in Ike Godsey's store. "A nickel a pickle!"
