so what TV shows do you like do you like comedies or
i like comedies and i like sitcoms i like to watch TV for escape i'm not much interested in
uh-huh
do you like uh do you like Cheers
yeah i like that and i like L A Law and i like Thirty Something
Cheers
Night Court
i like Night Court
in fact it's on right now
yeah i i think that's pretty much what i like is my favorite TV show is Cheers and then after that is uh Night Court
but i also i also like Star Trek and that's kind of an adventure i guess you would call it
yeah i never really got involved in Star Trek
and i don't really care to watch movies because
it's committing too much time i think
yeah
you know you never know what's going to come up you know if you commit thirty minutes or an hour to watch some TV shows it's a little different than
yeah that's true
you know two hours for a movie especially you know things that are i hate things that are continued
yeah especially like uh have you have you seen that movie uh Dances with Wolves
no i haven't
you don't want to see it it's like three hours long and it just drags on forever
that's what i've heard
well i like i mean i like you know things that are funny and and all you know like like Cheers you know is really funny it it makes you laugh or you know so it's not like uh uh a show that goes on forever even though it's only half an hour
i think
yeah and it's a just a nice escape
and you know it's something to laugh at and enjoy
yeah something to remove you know something to remove me from reality for a little while get away from real life
right
exactly
exactly that's that's what i like
because i i mean i don't know it's just something i think something we need
as you know as human beings something to remove you from reality to relieve the stress
yeah
and Cheers does it i don't know i like the way i like the way the people act in Cheers it's it's pretty funny it's it's kind of you know the extremes of certain characters
yeah yeah you're right about the other you're right they are now that i think about it
yeah i watch it it's on it's on here um like three or four times a night on various cable channels
i'm sorry i think i must've i've probably seen every episode about thirty five times
yeah the syndicate
yeah they when they'll show one one episode in one channel and like the next day they'll show it on another one
well yeah but right um let's see here they've got it
they've got it at like six six or six thirty and then they have it again at ten and ten thirty you know on a different channel
yeah
and so you know
where where i where i where i'm at right now is in a dorm and we don't have the uh we don't have cable so i just get regular TV but
oh okay
we see it uh every day at six o'clock
uh-huh the older one
yeah right and then the new one comes on at nine Thursdays
yeah
i'm trying to think what other shows i like there there's just television has changed so much and uh
there's just not as many really good shows on i think as there used to be
yeah
i guess a lot of people think that the shows that i watch are kind of stupid and most of my friends and the people i know don't
well how about the Wonder Years do you like the Wonder Years
yeah i like that
that's pretty good i mean it's it's not something you see every day so it's i guess it that that keeps the quality a little higher
well yeah and what i like about that show is that the time the time period that that takes place in is exactly the age i was during that time period
uh-huh so it's even closer to you
yeah it's kind of funny to you know sit back and remember it brings back a lot of memories
um
i don't know i like do you like um i don't know if if you're
you would know like Barney Miller do you ever
watch that or the old Bob Newhart Show
uh-huh
i never ever really got into Bob Newhart
never got into those
the old i'm talking about the old one when he was a psychologist
no i don't i don't i never never saw that
don't remember those
i don't know my friends don't like my TV TV they think it's trashy but uh
well yeah
i kind of i kind of stayed away from the TV for a couple of years when i first came up here
so i you know there's a gap in my TV viewing but recently that's basically what i watch is Cheers and
yeah
and uh
and Night Court because they're right they show them back to back
back to back when i was in college you know we didn't have TVs
and so i remember somebody happened to have one in their room it was a really big deal and everybody'd get together like one night a week to watch TV but
i hate that span of giving you have to give up a lot of TV when you when you're when you're going to school lot of things you have to give up when you're going to school
yeah
but uh
well
sounds like we have real similar tastes we have tastes i mean as far as the sitcoms go what about the do you like L A Law or
yeah
no no i don't i don't particularly get into those shows because they don't keep my interest i've seen um L A Law i think once or twice and the episode wasn't that great so i just i figured they were all like that so i don't waste my time
is that all
uh-huh
looking at that and you know and if it's if it's funny or if it keeps my interest if it's exciting i'll watch it if not i don't and times that i saw that or pieces of that it wasn't any it wasn't great
Thirty Something i watched a few times because there was a few good episodes and then after that it it i just lost interest in it
yeah
um
but i guess it's because it's not aimed for an audience of my age
yeah probably not
no i'm i'm in my twenties my early twenties and so
i guess Thirty Something is not is definitely not for me
about ten years
yeah ten years down the road for you but um
those are really the only two drama shows that i like
and i tell everybody don't call me
but other than that i you know i like i um i'm recovering from surgery and so i read and watch a lot of television so
uh-huh
i get to see just about everything
yeah well
that that way you'll you'll get to see all the shows and you get to really form good opinions on which one is really good and which one is really
yeah but who cares about my opinion
yeah
i like the uh
i don't know it seems like some of the best shows they take off the air one of my favorite shows was Wise Guy and they took that off the air
what was wise guy
it was a cop show
oh
but
i mean i heard of it before but i never i never seen it
yeah i have to stay up if i want to see it i have to stay up till eleven thirty and then it's all reruns and the guy that was started out in it isn't in it and anyway it's a long
did you have you ever seen that that show they i mean they they trashed it before it ever got started but it was like i think they showed a couple of shows of uh what is it a Cop Rocks or something like that
i heard a lot about it but i never saw it now
i heard i heard it really sucked
did it
because uh it was supposed to be something like a show uh singing and like like a musical but yeah
oh really
like a musical like right in the middle of acting they would sing songs or something
you're kidding
no
maybe i should have surely it maybe it would have been pretty funny i don't know
i can see why it crashed
i don't think it was supposed to be funny though
you know
well it was nice talking to you
nice talking to you i guess you'll get to watch all of Night Court
yeah
i've missed the first ten minutes
oh well i'll get off the phone and let you watch it then and good luck on your recovery
i'm sorry i'm just teasing thanks
all right bye
bye bye
