well what's your favorite shows
oh gosh that's hard to say it's um used to be a big Twin Peaks fan but they've made me mad so i haven't watched them in a while in a while
uh-huh
um
oh i watch a lot of uh public we watch public television a lot Mystery and
hm
oh oh i oh i really like Mysteries
uh-huh that's one of my favorite
yeah Mystery and uh Masterpiece Theater
yeah i watch that occasionally when
yeah
there's something really interesting on
um-hum
but uh
oh out out outside of that i it's hard to have a
i don't really watch a whole lot
yeah i don't not anymore i don't there's just nothing on it
yeah
i got i got sort of hooked on that uh Dark Shadows
have you
yeah i when i watched it originally i didn't know it was a i don't know it was going to be a series i thought it was just a movie
um
and so i started watching it and all of a sudden stay tuned next week and i went what
and then it blows into this whole series thing so i sort of had to stay with it
yeah is is it good is it
not really it it it's it's gotten to the point it's getting ridiculous now and
yeah
they they just had the uh season finale and i don't i don't know what they accomplished but i think the writers just
figure well let's just do anything and
yeah
we'll we'll have a couple of months to come up with some new ideas
yeah that that's that's kind of what happened on Twin Peaks they did all this big building up building up building up and then the
the solution was ridiculous i had it figured out by the third
yeah
yeah
i thought i already had it figured out and i did and that made me mad
yeah i don't like programs that i can figure it out
yeah
um the only one that i watch religiously is LA Law
um-hum
i really like that
well my parents my parents really like LA Law
yeah that's that's my favorite
is it good i've i've always heard it was really good
well i'm i'm a struggling law student
oh
and
i the reason i like it is because they give you good law in there
do they
yeah it's not like these other programs where they just make up anything they want
oh yeah
and they they throw little tidbits out that are really good
you know like they they at least you know they've been in a courtroom before
um-hum of course i mean it's got its bad side so it's limited by the format and obviously you don't get into court as quickly as they seem to make it out that you do
oh of course
yeah
oh no
they're they're in California and they're they're waiting list is about four years four or five years for a civil case
ooh Lord
so uh
yeah
i mean you know it's very difficult to
it'd be nice if justice traveled that quickly but but it sure it it sure doesn't
yeah it would yeah
no not at all you know the wheels of justice grind slowly
yeah well it's not really justice's fault but that's on a another whole subject altogether
yeah i'll agree with you there
i'll agree with you
oh
i know i know the shortcomings too
yeah yeah yeah
oh let's see what oh i guess i've got a two year old so we do Sesame Street everyday
uh well not it's not on my that's not on my list of
no
not it not no it's a it's not something
now there was some of the some of the classes i'm in i think i'm in Sesame Street but uh
yeah
some of the professors i think imitate Big Bird
uh oh yeah have an intellectual role of Big Bird that's pretty good
that's it i mean Big Bird would make a good judge
better than some of the judges i've seen
oh that's true that's true
yeah i've got my own pet peeve about judges but uh
oh well we're stuck with them
yeah yeah that we're kind of stuck with them
sort of like lawyers you know
oh
um let's see what else is oh i like A&E
i wish i wish we got i wish we got that on our cable system we don't there's always good stuff on A&E
they don't have A&E on cable in Dallas
well not where i am not we're we're in far north we're i mean we're
uh-huh
i'm thirty five miles north of Dallas in McKinney it's a small town there's only one cable system here and i've called griped about them not having A E A&E but they don't have it i mean in Dallas they do
oh
oh
yeah i'll tell you
the um
uh A&E and Discovery and CNN i couldn't i couldn't live without those
oh yeah i watch oh i like C i like CNN's new uh news coverage better than anybody's
oh yeah i i just leave it when i'm home during the day i just leave it on just to listen to it
yeah during during when the war was real hot and heavy we just had it on CNN all day long
yeah best coverage
yeah oh the oh much better than anybody else's
yeah
uh the networks got sort of ridiculous with they they they felt like they had to interrupt normal programming for all this but they didn't have anything to say
now they're plus they had all the inaccuracies were ridiculous then they'd come back five minutes later and contradict themselves to oh it was just get it was ridiculous so i just
oh yeah
yeah
yeah
well the coverage was a little bit ridiculous anyway i mean
um-hum
it it it got far more coverage than it should have i it was it was beautifully played out thing i mean
yea h oh yeah
it it roused the patriotism of the of the country and all that sort of stuff and
but uh they they interrupted for no good reason a lot
yeah exactly i mean and sometimes they they would now i like Jeopardy and Jeopardy comes on here at seven o'clock
uh-huh
uh-huh
and for i don't know it must have been two or three weeks there they were doing this expanded nightly news
oh yeah
you know and i'm going i will never get to see Jeopardy again
rehash it was just rehash rehash total oh
yeah
i'm saying what are you telling me that you didn't tell me in your first half hour
nothing and i i know i know the scud attack scud attacks are some are exciting to somebody but after you've seen them seen them for two weeks in a row
nothing
yeah
oh well there goes a patriot missile oh well that's good that's good
across the black sky a white streak
yeah oh boy golly gee
well maybe maybe we're a bit uh uh
oh
jaded
yeah we are
and and because television's brought everything into your living room
yeah well i it was interesting it was interesting
but it wasn't an exciting war it really wasn't
no i mean there there
there was nothing to it
i mean
which is that's good that's good but
i mean yeah i'm happy for that
for TV coverage it's pitiful
i'm happy for that but but unfortunately i sort of had the inside track because i'd been in the i'd been in the military for thirteen years and i worked and i worked in intelligence
oh
oh
and and there was no
contradiction in turn
yes another one of those military intelligence ha ha that's what that's just like justice for all
yeah
but i mean my goodness there's they're sitting here making all this big deal out of the Iranians
i know
and i'm sitting there thinking to myself uh-huh sure
um-hum
i mean they've poured billions of dollars into this stuff but those stupid people can't read comic strips i mean how do you expect them to operate tanks
no they can't
it's put it in Russian
yeah
i mean
they can't even read their own language
yeah it it
it was just it was the coverage just went way too far
yeah i it just totally ridiculous i mean the Israeli's could have fixed the whole problem years ago if they just sent sent their guys in there and killed Saddam
oh that's that's what my husband says he says just send the Israeli's in to to pick off Saddam they'll they'd love it i mean
that's right i mean the Israeli's aren't
they're not afraid of anything
huh-uh no
see what happens when they when they take a plane load of their citizens down in
oh yeah
that doesn't uh that doesn't that situation doesn't sit around and develop very long
no
i just wonder what's going to happen to the hostage to the the hostages that's over in Lebanon now that you hear all kinds of things
all right i i i think everybody's jumping to conclusions i don't think anything's going to change
you don't think so i just
no first off i don't think the the Middle Eastern situation's going to change i don't think that
oh that's true oh are you kidding but they all hate each other
they're not
yeah they're not going to come up with
they're not going to come up with a peace plan or any of this kind of crap
huh-uh
you know you you see them on interview they interview everybody and everybody says the same things
um-hum
yeah
that they always have
well they they get Oshmid Yakomo you know the janitor for the US Embassy and you know
oh yes i know
yes i keep saying when are they going to knock on my door and interview me they've talked to everybody else in the world
yeah really and it was it was real it was even worse here in North Carolina because because a lot of the
was it
matter of fact all the units the Marines and and uh the F the F-16 squadrons came out of North Carolina
did they
so every night on the local news they were down in Fayetteville or they were down in Goldsboro and they were talking to the military wives you know
oh yeah oh yeah
and and
i and i understand the way they feel about their
husbands and wives being over there and all that but to get on camera and just oh this is so terrible i just i don't what we're going to do well i'm thinking to myself
oh yeah
you know what do these people think they were getting into when they joined the military
they're they're voluntary army
you know i'm going it what did you think it was
uh-huh
a paycheck
uh-huh yeah they do they think it's a paycheck
you know run around and and play soldier
well the reservists sure do we had a reservist here in North Carolina who who
yeah
who's unit was ordered up and he refused to go
we had a doctor that did t hat here
i hope he got busted
oh yeah she did
yeah the uh this this guy did too he ended up going to Leavenworth
which is good i'm glad
yeah i mean just when uh the they military paid for her education
um-hum
and they kept having her on the news every night
and then and then she
that's right then she didn't want to do her obligation yeah
uh-huh ooh she's she's
in hot water
well i you know i'm not i'm not racist or anything but one of my one another one of my pet peeves is they had a lot of Black on the news talking about how unfair it is because the Blacks are poor and therefore they don't have a choice but go in the military
oh yeah oh yeah
so there's more of them getting killed than the Whites
oh yes
now to me that doesn't make any damn sense
it nobody forced
