He always generally refers to any one of them or all of them as morons, whether they've done something wrong or not.

4. What is the name of Barry's gang?

Answer: JTP

Barry and his friends, 'Naked' Rob Smith, 'Ladies Man' Andy Cogan, 'Mad Man' Geoff Schwartz, and later punk-rocker-turned-Deadhead Matt Bradley, call themselves the Jenkintown Posse, or JTP. "JTP!"

5. What was the first name of Adam's first girlfriend?

Answer: Dana

Dana Caldwell was Adam's first girlfriend until she and her family moved to Seattle between the second and third season. They tried the long distance thing but eventually they called it quits over that and other things.

Answer: saxophone

He was almost never seen without his alto saxophone around his neck or in his locker, often not in a case.

Answer: Rush

Like his saxophone, Johnny was almost never seen without a Rush tour shirt on.

10. What was Erica's favorite actor?
