well uh well Star Star Search who wants really Star Trek well uh well this is this this cannot be compared to the old Star Trek
i mean Star Search Star Trek
yeah uh-huh
okay is
can't be compared at all it
is it better in your opinion
oh much better
um-hum what's better about it
uh well it's it's it's it's better put together better better dialogues the the the uh
the the stories are a little deeper and and and the the the technology of course that they use is much more believable from a from a scientific aspect also they're they're much more sound about what they say and do
um-hum
um-hum
is it much more believable sounds like i would i would probably like that better then the the old Star
oh yeah
oh it's got got a lot more credibility than than the others also they they they they touch you know a a a a lot of issues that are are are quite relevant you know
okay
huh
and uh yeah yeah yeah i like it
maybe i ought to try it out sometimes uh
hey try it out
and then then the following nights you can watch Married with Children
right you like that show
well yeah
yeah yeah i like that um i don't watch a whole lot of television but when i do i like just a lot of sitcoms because i look at television myself as
kind of a get away so i don't i don't like to watch a lot of serious movies uh not on television anyway uh when i watch TV i like to kind of getaway kind of laugh and that i like i even like to watch the sitcoms
yeah well that
uh-huh
yeah
well sure
it's a it's a good escape
uh-huh right now i'm watching uh
The Wonder Years
The Wonder Years that's a good show
and yeah yeah and i like that because the
you kind of get to think along with the characters you know so that's why
yeah well uh you you you don't sound old enough
no huh-uh
to to to go back that far uh i am unfortunately uh so i was there during the sixties and i that that's what i love about the show it
uh-huh
okay
oh
back a lot of memories and it's it's it it's amazingly accurate
um-hum
hum i was going to ask if it if it's accurate for you uh-huh
oh yeah yeah it it it it really is
yeah
because i really can't i guess i can't tell but i i enjoy watching it and i think we learned a lot from it
well
you know and how it was back back then and you know
yes yes well it it it is it it is accurate there's there there is um uh
because of you
the the latter part of the sixties was totally dominated by Vietnam and uh
uh-huh
those issues and i mean you know it was it was everywhere and and that is the one thing that i notice they sort of shy away from a little bit
right
hum
i mean they hit it a little it but they don't you know i mean it was in everything at the time i was in college and and it totally dominated college but
yeah yeah
um-hum
right
uh at at at one point uh before nineteen what was it i guess it was
seventy
you know uh when they enacted the the what they called the lottery
right
system of the draft in which um you know uh uh
everyone's everyone's birthday was chosen it was chosen at random and and only the first third of those were taken and and and would be inducted into the you know Army the Army was the only one accepting toward the end
um-hum
right
right
and so um
you know it it it it really was terrible because uh until until that it least every one was going crazy at least when they inducted uh they they did the lottery only only one third of the people were going crazy because
um-hum
right right
they were going to go have to go and it was a war that was really quite unpopular but
um-hum um-hum
it was kind of crazy
yeah unlike this war that we just got out of here
yeah anyway so so but but they they should uh uh you you you you know i think maybe maybe hit that a little heavier on that show what other shows you watch
yeah yeah
um i like the Thursday night lineup on NBC the Cosby Show A Different World Cheers i really like Cheers and uh even
yeah yeah yeah Cheers i i used to like the Cosby Show i've kind of gotten burned out on that though
yeah i'm kind of getting burned out but i still watch it i guess just for the heck of it because i've been watching it
uh
yeah
yeah
um i like Evening Shade a lot of the new
yeah i've got a friend that keeps threatening to kill me if i don't watch Evening Shade
yeah that's a really good show that's a really good show
she says that it's it's a really good show so i'm going to have to check it out
and uh Designing
Designing Women i like that a lot uh-huh
yeah uh
so do i
yeah i like a lot of the newer a lot of the newer shows i like um there's
yeah i i i i i was really glad to hear that they were finally taking that dinosaur off what Dallas did it's last show
oh yes that was Friday in fact i went to a last episode of Dallas party
yes
at a friend's house and we just all got together and watched the last episode although although we didn't although we hadn't watched it in years you know yeah it really was everyone was pre tty disappointed in the ending
oh they
yeah i hear it was the dog of a show
oh well go out with a whimper
so yeah exactly uh
i guess that's the way to go
what else do you watch besides Star Trek
oh do is there anything else on
no no i i uh i watch a lot of i've got cable here so i don't watch a lot of network stuff
yeah
uh-huh
i i mean you know the typical three networks i um i do watch a lot of CNN stuff and and uh uh i'm home most of the time so
right
yeah
yeah i find myself watching a lot of CNN i like they have a fashion show on CNN that i like to watch
huh yeah i i got really uh i mean i i i watched it a lot before the the the Saudi crisis but after that uh it just seemed like it it became apart of my every day viewing
uh-huh
right you feel like you really don't know what's going on unless you tune in at least for you know fifteen minutes or so and
yeah and and that's what i like about it i can tune in any time
uh-huh
right and get the all all the days events uh-huh
and get all the yeah i don't have to you know uh view it at at a certain time of day i can i can check it out anytime generally and uh and find out what's going on and i like that i
right right
yeah
i remember i remember when Turner started that thing they said that it would never fly and for the first year or two it really it really
uh-huh
sort of wallowed but uh
yeah and and if you know notice i mean it's gone so far in the with just with just with this
well the thing is is that that the world finds out most i mean like you know it was interesting uh like during the Saudi crisis the people here were finding out
uh-huh
uh-huh
about more what was happening by watching CNN than they were getting i mean the military folks even
um-hum
right and the the networks themselves were depending on CNN
so
oh exactly
for a lot of things you know they would make they would even mention CNN and have their footage on and everything
exactly
yeah
yeah so it it it it really has become sort of like the world's eye
so their going to become
right exactly
uh and and i you know it was a it was an idea whose time had come that Turner's quite a character
um-hum
um um-hum
Ted Turner
yeah
anyway i really enjoy i really enjoy having access to that all the time
