okay
anyway so what have what have you been into did you watch LA Law last night
uh no actually i i don't i i don't uh it's funny i don't really seem to watch a lot of television what um i usually like to pick up on TV are some of the
news type of shows like you know 20/20 60 Minutes
uh-huh
um unfortunately a couple of weekly soaps like Knots Landing and uh Dallas we watch
and uh and i usually uh i just other than those i i catch movies once in a while i like a lot of the movies that are you know true stories true to life that type of thing
uh-huh
um but i'm not i'm not real big on that much on television uh i don't have really many favorite shows that i i must see every week you know
yeah
uh part of that i think is uh i have two boys and you know usually i don't get to sit down to watch the
they they they get first crack huh
yeah yeah so uh anyway um
but how about you then
well i usually i guess a lot of the sitcoms
uh-huh
Cosby Cheers uh
well i find i do sit down with them when they have those those they like a lot of those uh shows and often when they have them on
uh
uh-huh
that's when they're quiet i like sit sit down with them and watch it yeah
yeah A different A Different World
a Different World
yeah
but some of the other ones like i've been getting into L A Law and uh
uh-huh
do you watch uh Thirty Something
no i don't make a point i i guess i really never make a point to to watch anything i'll just end up catching it but uh
yeah
so you catch whatever might be on if you're interested that evening
yeah you know if i'm not doing that night uh
yeah
you know which i guess is usually most nights no
uh-huh yeah yeah
but uh
oh speaking of 20/20 you didn't see the one in with the exorcists exorcists
uh
um i you know i wanted to and i forget i really i kept seeing it advertised and i wanted to see that and i don't know we might not have been home or something excuse me and
i didn't see that but i was really interested in in that i i found that a pretty interesting story that they said the church recognized that as as a real exorcism
uh-huh
uh did you see that show
yeah i did
and what what did you think what did they what uh was that all about
oh well the girl that supposedly was possessed uh had actually uh you know seen uh you know something uh some medical the medical side i don't know if it was a psychologist or what all but
uh-huh
um
you know it was interesting interesting it's interesting uh and uh
you know i'm from you know i'm was raised Catholic fairly you know fairly fairly strong with my mom and dad so
yeah my husband is too
yeah
but it you know that's kind of interesting um but the bottom line it you know they did the exorcism it wasn't real major you know she she was fairly you know she you know obviously there she you know she something was wrong with her
uh-huh
but uh it wasn't really uh
you know extraordinary as far as her actions
and she had done that and she felt like that helped her
but at the same time shortly after that exorcism they also started um
um
um uh giving her medication for like a split personality type stuff of
oh
okay
so uh she's doing better but and and the girl herself you know believes that it you know that she was uh
you know possessed but and you know it it's hard to say
hum
it could be a multiple like one of these multiple personality disorders
yeah i'm not i'm not sure you know who knows but uh anyway it wasn't uh
also
yeah
huh
you know it was uh
it was you know
it wasn't as dramatic as i guess maybe they made it seem
well i i can't say it wasn't just because of the fact that that it's pretty
unusual for something like that to be nationally televised uh or or have anybody come in you know who who would want to have that televised you know if that was happening to your daughter
right
and well
right
right and also
and her parents are right there you know doing it all you know so
yeah
um and also for the church to recognize it as a a true exorcism you know um usually they're such i think i really think that there's a fine line between what um
you know a lot of people think is possessed and what are really mental disorders you know and maybe in the old days you know many years ago what they often said oh people were possessed we probably recognize now as schizophrenia or something
um
uh-huh
um and uh you know it's it's it's hard to to say you know whether
it's it's just a it's a mental disorder or it's really uh uh it's a or if it's a split personality or something
yeah
wait honey i can't talk right now uh but um what i don't know now what area are you living in
i'm in Phoenix Arizona right now
oh wait Jackie what
yes okay okay go excuse me so
are you in Dallas
uh no we are uh outside of Washington DC
oh okay
and i was just the reason i asked that i was curious i thought maybe in different parts of uh you know the country maybe there were certain shows that were more more popular than in other parts
and i know in this area it's i don't know DC is especially the newer areas are really known for having so many yuppies you know and a lot of them are into Thirty Something and you know
yeah
yeah
uh i don't know some of the other shows they watch um Twin Peaks you know and i'm not really into those shows and that really surprises people
yeah
i i never got caught up in Twin Twin Peaks either so
yeah yeah and i just i was just wondering demographically if you know if different parts if there were shows that were more popular than in other areas i don't know like where you live um you know what are the real
yeah
what are the hot shows you know that everybody seems to want to watch
uh i don't know i don't hear people talk at work you know
uh-huh
as far as uh
you know what what people are getting into but
um
you know some of the top sitcoms obviously do you know always in the top five you know
the Cosby or i think A Different World is real strong and
yeah
uh-huh
uh
now that's funny see i haven't even heard of that show that's just
yeah well that's the one it's the one right after Cosby and it's produced by Co sby and it's about it's basically about uh college
oh is that right so
uh
oh okay
you know and it it obvious it's you know since since it's kind of promoted by Cosby it's you know mostly blacks
i see uh-huh
but uh but it's it's a pretty good show it uh
and are all the kids into the Simpsons
have you ever heard of Jasmine Guy
pardon me uh yes
okay now she's one of the main stars of that and now she's just come out came out with an album
oh okay
and uh and which is fairly successful she's got one or two singles that have done very well so
but she is a very strong personality in that show uh and uh
uh-huh
i see
it's your basic college and what people run into and they in fact they just had a show covering AIDS
and uh
oh is that right
so you know they try to get their messages across i should say
yeah now there's a new show on and i can't think of the name of it apparently the producer of it was a
Potomac resident um you know which is right right around here close to where we we are living you know the Potomac
uh-huh
area outside of DC and and i i think he went to like Wooton High School here or something and and some of the papers that circulating the rumor that
this show is based upon stories that actually happened at Wooton High where he went and that's and he she denies some of it you know um i oh
eh eh i eh it might be the Beverly Hills um there's that one called Beverly Hills one O two one O or something like that uh
um not sure
and uh that's becoming a little popular and of course the kids all like the Simpsons here
yeah
and uh i guess it's the same there also
yeah uh that one is is it still competing with Cosby
um i'm not sure i don't know what's happened uh i know a lot of some of the parents won't let their kids watch it you know uh
such a brat
yeah but um it what what uh
what changes would you like to see i mean in in in you know evening television do you think there should be more like news type programs like 20/20 or more comedies or weeklies
honestly i'm indifferent
i probably i probably will watch a little bit of everything uh i i i i get into movies i'll uh i'll see you know i'll watch 20/20 or i'll
you're indifferent it doesn't matter
yeah
uh-huh
uh you know i guess i'm only mostly into sitcoms i guess my favorite you know one show i'm really into is Arsenio Hall
uh-huh oh yeah i watch that uh-huh
and uh
and then you know i've been watching him for a long time now and i i needed a break and i watched Johnny Carson last night a little more level you know and so it's like i'm just
yeah
think oh what do i feel like today you know we're getting option our options on different talk shows and i always liked watching Letterman but he starts so late
you so you like some of these late shows
yeah well the the talk shows with the personality yeah and uh
yeah
yeah talk shows yeah
but uh Letterman starts pretty late out here about twelve o'clock
uh-huh
right oh oh okay
but i'll still watch it once in a while
yeah yeah um i guess so i think also probably because people now there are so many
uh everybody has VCR's and rents so many movies that might have i don't know that might have hurt some of the the popularity of certain shows you know a lot of things that they put on Saturday nights a lot of people
yeah
