well do you watch much TV
well i watch in the evening with my kids
your kids how many kids do you have
i have four children
oh goodness i have got two
that's about all i want
well
yeah it keeps you busy doesn't it
yeah they do they're still babies
uh my children like to watch Sesame Street i watch with them every once in a while but that is not my favorite programs
oh well we have only get two channels we do not have cable but i am not crazy about TV much it just
uh-huh
well it kind of is an idiot box now Sesame Street is a good program because uh i do have that on videotape and i will let him watch that every once in a while and he has learned to count to twenty from that so
uh-huh
yeah it can be very educational there are shows that that i like uh i like good family shows uh though uh i let my kids watch things like Little House On The Prairie
yeah
uh-huh
okay
and the Cosby Show is uh is uh kind of unrealistic as a family unless you live in upper class and have money
right
i think that sometimes the things they show on there though uh the problems that their kids get into are are good to uh show that they do have problems anyway
right but they also have a lot easier time disciplining their kids than real people do
uh
yeah i mean like i said real life is not that easy
yeah
and uh
i watch a show that i like it for entertainment uh it is called the Quantum Leap
oh i love Quantum Leap
i watch that show every time and uh
yes that is a good show
i i like uh
how the how he has to help with the people that he that he becomes
uh-huh
um
because it is not a show that he just becomes these people and then he lives there for a while and then he is gone he has to do something positive to help them
uh-huh
right he always got to change history is what it is
so i
yeah yeah
usually yeah that it is so good i was glad when they put that back on this channel because like i said we only get two channels because we do not get cable
it
me too me too
uh-huh
and still my little boy he watches videotapes he won't hum this is terrible i do not like him sitting in front of the TV all day
no that's not terrible i do not think that's terrible at all
well
it but it is a not really a good baby sitter
well
it's really not he needs to get outside and play and he's four years old and he just does not like to go out there by his self
and i'll let him watch the TV when i am wanting to get my house work done
uh-huh
but other than that i do not like him glued to the TV all the time
well i do not think it's it's healthy all the time either
huh
uh and my kids like to to go play with their friends and so i guess i do not mind too much when they do watch a little bit now i there are shows i do not have cable either
and there are shows that i really put my foot down on
if there starts to be a lot of violence i do not go for that
uh-huh
i will not let them watch that if there is a lot of language or
well we made the mistake right we made the mistake of getting Robocop and that is one of the worst oh i do not let him watch it anymore because just the pieces l
uh-huh
like especially where they kill somebody it is just not good i mean it is just real violent i mean
well it you know today i watched and it is like they show bloody you know things and they show it in slow motion and
uh-huh
uh-huh
and everything like that and before in a western or something in the in the olden days
you would see somebody get shot they would just fall down
yeah and they were gone and and it wasn't uh not like today uh
yeah
so graphic
today it's it's really graphic they try to make it too realistic
uh-huh
yeah too much realism i think sometimes
and
yeah
i don't
now he is watching Honey I Shrunk The Kids right now
oh that is a fun show oh i really like that one
it is cute and that little Roger Rabbit on before that that is cute and they have got the He Man uh
uh-huh
the cartoon or the
Masters Of The Universe the movie
oh uh-huh
that is a real cute show
that has good moral values too
He Man
uh-huh well uh i think uh
yeah good versus evil huh
yeah yeah
oh well it sounds like we have the same tapes for our kids anyway
yeah at least we have the same ideas
yeah
yeah language too and language and violence and sexual you you know things i i get kind of uh saying i am sorry kids this is and i i think it is important that i see
uh-huh
yeah
what they're watching
yeah they do have like those parental control things on the uh remote controls you know where you can block out what channels you do not want them to watch
if
you mean in cable oh i do not know because i do not have that but
uh-huh
well my my uh stepfather and them have my stepfather my father-in-law and them have that
uh-huh
and uh
they do not have any kids but they was told how to use that but still when the kids get older they learn how to break through that parental control
oh do they
huh
they're too smart
i think all you have to do is push a couple buttons
uh-huh
so it's it's i'm hoping that he will grow up not really caring much for those movies because
now we have got a lot of western tapes Josey Wells now he loves to watch Josey Wells
uh-huh
i think that is a good show too yeah uh-huh
yeah Clint Eastwood and like The Man From Showy River we've oh my husband likes westerns and he also likes Star Trek now Star Trek are good movies good shows
uh-huh
the uh series we have got a lot of those
uh i think not even the old one but the new one too i like both of those
uh-huh The Next Generation yeah my little boy is crazy about Captain Kirk and my little girl has Mister Spock's ears
uh-huh
yeah
oh
and i told my husband he cursed my kids they were both born with pointy ears
yeah
oh well
not real pointy my little boy grew out of it
oh that is not a problem anyway but it is fun to you know seeing the show anyway uh now i like uh everything Michael oh no not Michael Douglas um
no
uh-huh
oh i can't think of his name
Kirk Douglas
no the the man right now who is having uh who has done
uh Bonanza and then he did Little House On The Prairie Michael Landon there you go Michael Landon i have always liked and thought he did good shows
oh Michael Landon
oh now there yeah
like Highway to Heaven
uh-huh
here are some cookies Kyle
yeah i liked Highway To Heaven and i
and i thought that was kind of neat though but i loved Little House On The Prairie especially when Melissa Gilbert grew up she was kind of like my
yeah yeah
idol when i was growing up because i am twenty seven so it is you know she is about the same age as i am i wanted to be just like her because she is so cute
uh-huh
yeah i and i liked that show because it it portrayed i thought really well uh pioneer kind of days
yeah and well i liked it but there that is about the only uh
you know but
show i have seen where every time they sit down at the table they pray before they eat and i thought that was real neat
uh-huh
yeah
because there is not a lot of shows that do that
i
and uh
they have this little cartoon that's on Sunday mornings
now what is that
with Jot
i remember him in school but i do not it is just this little dot with arms and feet and little eyes and his parents are there they have it like before one of the church things uh you know church that comes on
uh-huh
and it is a just this little dot and he will go out and get himself into trouble and come home and the parents will tell him that there is a verse in the Bible that will help him with that and it is just
oh i have not seen that
well it's usually we go to church on Sundays but we will miss every once in a while and i will let Kyle watch that and he just well i even like Jot i mean i it is funny

a dot but it is real cute and like i say they they
teach him stuff from the Bible and i think it is just a real cute show i'm trying to get my little boy into reading uh like church books and things we have got like Noah's Ark and
uh-huh
oh Lord is My Shepherd we have got about eight or twelve books for him just little Bible stories and they're he is he is getting to where he likes them
