Today is Q. Since this was such a challenging letter, I decided to make it interesting and searched for a Q in all the major entertainment areas. This post represents my findings.
GAMESQ*Bert
Remember that cheesy, 80's arcade game? Created by Atari in 1982, it was later released for both the Nintendo and Playstation systems.
MOVIESQ
How about this awful movie? Directed by Larry Cohen and starring David Carradine, Michael Moriarty, and Candy Clark, this low-budget thriller also came out in 1982.
TVQ
If you were watching Star Trek: Next Generation in the 80's, then you remember the character Q. Played by John de Lancie, Q was an omnipotent being from the Q continuum who specialized in causing trouble for the Enterprise.
MUSIC
Q Fish
Yes, apparently there's even a band called Q. I couldn't find any images, but judging from the pattern, bet they formed in the 80's, too.
Think I'm all "Q'ed out" for the day!

Oh, Q was the cutest being ever to appear in STAR TREK, his omnipotence and arrogance were amazingly entertaining, and I just loved how he used humans as puppets in his little games to kill the boredom, since he is immortal and has a lot of time in his hands. I also loved when he brought his naughty son to Captain Janeway in VOYAGER to be his babysitter :)) That one was precious.
I wish I was a Q, it's much cooler than being a Borg for example :)
Loved the content of your "Q" list.
I too loved Q in Star Trek,
Thanks for the visit,
Yvonne.
Q was wicked, wasn't he?
You did good on finding Qs. The only one I recognized was Star Trek's Q. Maybe we only remember the good ones?

Loved Q-bert! Don't know any of the others, though. But, woot! for you on finding so many Q things.
Oh, and, I have not turned Pandora off since yesterday morning! Thanks :)
Ouch, Q is a toughie. FOrgot about that Star Trek Q. He had some real bitchen' hair.
I didn't know any of these Q's before today! Thanks for enlightening me. :)

I love Star Trek Q! I actually have John de Lancie's autographed picture and a photo of us standing together from a Dragon*Con a few years back. He's really, really tall. Of course, I'm pretty short, but still. Much taller than he seemed on TNG.
Q is hard! I still haven't figured out mine...
ooooh, i want to play qbert RIGHT NOW!
I hope it shows up on my xbox arcade
Yes I remember Q on Star Trek...Qubert is a fun albeit cheesy game to play...for kids...Hey great job on the Quirkiness of Q...My post is about Quirks...
Helen, I wish that were true! Q the movie would be gone from my head.
Tara - that's cool!
Summer, that is uber cool. He'd be fun to meet.
So far Q, from Star Trek is the most notable for me. I always liked his character. I miss that show lol
I loved Q-Bert! :)
I'm still searching for a Q post. We shall see. In the meantime I enjoyed yours and recognized all but the band! :)
I am only familiar with TNG: Q. I was not really a big fan of his. He annoyed me more than anything.
Don't forget about Quantum Leap. I loved that show.
I loved Quantum Leap! Great show. There's also Queen - will never forget Wayne and Garth's rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody. And Quincy, that medical show from the 70s.
Here's a couple of Q's for you!

Q-bert and Q, I remember the others, not so much! Thanks for taking me back, time travel is possible, only in the mind, so far!
Very good job, very creavtive. I hadn't actually heard of any of them. I have heard of Star Trek, but have never seen an episode so I didn't know there was a guy named Q.
"...but judging from the pattern, bet they formed in the 80's, too." That made me smile. You sure found some queer stuff! :)
I wondered if someone would blog about Q from Star Trek today! He's a great character - well annoying, but he sure stirred up some action :)
I remember the movie "Q", but I don't recall if I saw it. If I remember correctly didn't it take place in Mexico City and it was based on a mythical creature of Aztec legend called Quetzocatl or something like that?

Speaking of Q games, what about Q Beez? It is a game I have on my computer that I got from Real Arcade. It is a really fun game to play. I like your Q choices.
Ruby
hat's more Qs than I could come up with. Wait, what about Q-tips? Did anyone else get that one?
Hey Alex, I added you to my blog roll. You deserve it. Keep on blogging.

Voidwalker, it was a cool show!
Mary and Kierah, I thought about Quantum Leap and Queen, but was searching for JUST the letter Q.
Gregg, now you know!
Thanks, Lisa!
Jemi, that he did.
Arlee, you are correct!
Grammy, I didn't know about that game.
Thanks, Stephen! And I could've included Q-Tips, as that was also a band. Weird, huh?
