yeah so uh what are your favorite TV shows
one that i can't find anymore which is Gabriel's Fire
oh i haven't watched that very much is that do you like that
yes
when was that on
it was usually on um Thursday nights
on ABC
i don't know
uh
oh oh yeah well
um um it may be that um it was recently replaced
by actually by um by what may be my favorite TV show of because sort of uh um Twin Peaks
it was same time period yes
yeah so Twin Peaks um what happened was
i think Twin Peaks um went went off
they moved to a Saturday night for a while and then put and then put something i guess Gabriel's Fire on it and at Thursday nights and then they moved um
no Gabriel's Fire was on CBS i think i i take that back
i'm not sure but anyway they moved it back and forth and that's when Peaks was back in that time slot as well
so i don't know
you don't know what happened to Gabriel's Fire then
no i have no idea
i don't think
i don't think that was on ABC anyway i don't know what happened to it though
i don't remember one from one station to another i keep forgetting one station
what's your second favorite
um
it's hard to say
i'm sort of a very big Twin Peaks fan and beyond that i just sort of watch anything that happens to be on i'm i'm
half the time i'm a TV addict and the other half the time i just ignore it
it's really bad yeah there's some new shows that i sort of like um
have you seen this Shannon Steel Show or uh
it's about a lawyer it's one of these lawyer shows you know they they seem to be popular these days
and then there's just a lot of those sort of Blair shows floating around
oh is he the reformed um gambler yes yes yes
yes
i just i mean like i just finished watching that a few minutes ago um and it and that that's a interesting one i i i like that because there's there are
i've noticed that every every major station now has their own law show there's LA Law and there's um Equal Justice
some other one Law And Order or something
lots of lots of these things that are floating around now they seem to be popular shows do you like the law shows or
i really don't watch that much TV what i do is i tape the programs i want to watch and then on the nights i can watch i'll pick out something
but um
that that makes logical sense also saves a lot of time with commercials
you're not kidding do you ever watch American Gladiators
oh i have i've i've caught i watched that late um i guess it's on late Saturday nights or something that's on during the day as well
midnight
midnight
have you have have you seen this often
i tape it
oh really
yeah i tape it because i don't stay up that late to watch it i tape it
yeah
but i understand uh that in England they play it at normal times because they don't consider that violent
and the reason they have it on here so late is because they consider it a violent program
really
i don't know that
and
i'm like i don't believe this
i
that don't it it it seems like i mean if wrestling is prime time
professional wrestling it seems like it's just
just just like pros in a wrestling to me i don't i don't see any difference though
i don't either
i i don't understand it they consider it violent i have so ever i have seen it on
where we are i live in uh Rochester New York
and i think a
you're in New York
yes
oh
where are you
i'm in Dallas Texas
you're uh everybody i speak to is in Texas oh
oh yeah but i'm i'm in New York
and uh we seem we seem to have um i think the American Gladiators is on
Sunday afternoons actually around here
oh really
as well sometimes
i think it's been on i think i've seen it during the day
i know i've seen it during the day in Florida
when i was at my parents down there
oh
definitely seen it done on on during the day down there and i don't think it's a very violent show i think it's funny
i think it's a real good concept i think it's something completely new
i think it's great i love watching a microbiologist
fighting off with a policemen or something else and competition
i'm going oh great you know
well
it's a it's a great role model for everybody
yeah i think so i think because people sort of get through you know um
i think that people sort of learn the importance of sort of physical
fitness as well as the
as well as you know some mental fitness and i think that people sort of learn good sportsmanship and so forth
oh yes i mean when i had uh i was watching it the first time i ever saw a microbiologist on there i thought well it just goes to prove it has nothing to do with your physical capabilities
and uh there she was terrific she was really terrific
well don't they take people who have some sort of
um
big abilities like and and at least they used to when it when it the first ones i saw they had um a man on who was uh he played college football and almost went pro and they had a
a woman who was a black belt in karate and she was the uh she was in the junior Olympics or something or they seem to have people who have very very big sports backgrounds to have they leaned leaned away from that sort of
they hold competitions in Los Angeles in um Florida and Minneapolis Minneapolis um
um trying to think of i think it's in four places around the United States they hold competition and the only requirement
is of course your skill of passing these tests
oh that's how they do it
and that's it
and
we had a bar man from here in Dallas area that made it there is a woman that uh made
really
well she called herself a craft person so i'm not quite sure what she made
and uh she made it i mean there is no your occupation has nothing to do with it
yeah okay i just thought they had some
strictly your skill
yeah i thought they had some sort of i mean i thought they were just poor people like us i guess not that's great
huh-uh
but maybe i'll try it one day
i will get on it one day and see if i can uh
um what what do they win they they win money i think don't they
i think the last i heard was it's up to about a hundred fifty thousand dollars
really
uh-huh
wow all that for getting tennis balls shot at you at a hundred miles an hour
yeah that's you know just minor
just minor little ball here or there you know
one little ball here and there yeah and this guy's beating you up
so i don't mind the beating up part i i actually feel the tennis balls would hurt
oh well they they come out with a lot of bruises too
they look like
yeah they seem like a tennis ball but there also doesn't look like
it's almost livable
yeah but best it i i don't think i could i i could handle those tennis balls
so what else to you tape besides American Gladiators at there anything else
hey
huh
see i tape Murder She Wrote
okay
i like mysteries
oh okay
i like mysteries
i tape um Father Dowling
uh-huh
because that's another mystery
and i don't have to concentrate too hard on them
but i'm sure that's fun
um most of the lawyer programs like uh Law And Order
uh-huh
they're not on the times that i've got
that i've watched because i haven't had T got TV Guide around here in ages
oh okay well they seem to be on later all always right right before the news is when i catch them
yeah
i i tend to if nothing else i tend to turn on the television at eleven o'clock just to watch the news
and or or Nightline or something
just sort of get a good you know
a good a good think for the day
your news is on at eleven
yes
when is yours on
ten i was just in the middle of watching it
oh gosh well i'm sorry i interrupted um
oh that's okay no problem
yeah ours is on actually it ours is on at eleven it it's um eleven o'clock now here or eleven twenty five now here in New York um i think they would they do that i think they put things on at
um eleven o'clock here and i think they put it like eleven o'clock
um California time like in California but in the middle they sort of um like central time or mountain time they they push things back
so i was actually actually i'm not sure i was in i was in Iowa awhile ago and noticed that everything was an hour earlier
so does your prime time start at seven o'clock
no well they have it at six and they have it at nine
wait no no not not even the news but do they have like um
and they have one at ten
do like sort of all the regular sitcoms and so forth start at seven o'clock
you so like you know the regular television shows that are that are very popular do they start at seven or or at eight
i'm trying to think
both um let's see they start um Evening Shade at
seven and then it goes to um
what is it after Evening um
right because that would actually start at eight o'clock here
that's Major Dad at eight i think it is
yeah that that would all start at at um
that would all start at at
eight o'clock here that wouldn't start at seven
we have um at seven o'clock we just have
um the they'll play you know they have old reruns of Cheers or something
from seven to seven thirty and then something else from seven thirty to eight but then at
at eight o'clock is when everything starts
huh
which is
which is strange i mean because yours start at seven and end at ten and ours start at
at at at at eight and end at eleven that's why we i i would actually like it better if everything started at seven and ended at ten
yeah it's it's stopped around here at ten and it goes into night programs
at that point which could be one of you know many different night programs but it goes into night programs
but uh do you ever watch Cheers
oh that's great
oh all the time
do you watch Cheers or
oh yeah oh yeah
there's there's it's at that was actually a big dilemma for me now because um Cheers
Cheers and Twin Peaks are now on the same time
