[speaker001:] well I know that uh I have only like two or three favorite television shows
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] I think one of my favorite then is from the guy Stephen is it Brochco who does like LA Law uh-huh and uh he also did Hillstreet Blues I like those type of shows
[speaker002:] oh yeah uh-huh yes yeah we we really enjoy that too
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] uh I don't get a lot to watch a whole lot of TV we have a couple of young children and so
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] we're usually outside and so it's usually the nine o'clock shows shows that if we get them in bed we usually watch that and L A Law is one of my favorites
[speaker001:] uh-huh oh yeah me too I know they uh I think they're different than a lot of other shows of which they have like the reruns in the middle of the season
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] and then towards the end when everybody else is showing reruns they start showing some of their newer stuff
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] so I thought that was really interesting the way that they did that oh and so you must watch a lot of uh Disney or cartoons then
[speaker002:] well we have on Sesame Street and Mister Rogers that kind of stuff and I think those programs are really good for children I know that both of mine have probably learned quite a bit from there
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] it's kind of nice to know that they're just going to be seeing you know not a lot of violence and that kind of stuff and they usually
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] uh show a lot of things that really teach them different things about the world so
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker002:] my son older son he's going to be five and he's more into watching the cartoons and that kind of stuff now so
[speaker001:] oh that's true that's true well I noticed that my kids are uh older now they're uh getting close to the teenage years but they did we watched all of Mister Rogers and everything but even some of your uh cartoons can be very violent
[speaker002:] um-hum yeah
[speaker001:] and uh you know they they talk about death and we were watching uh oh gosh that Bugs Bunny just last night
[speaker002:] oh yeah
[speaker001:] and um uh I think it was on uh I have to remember which channel but anyway uh we were watching that and it was talking about opera and they showed like what they thought an opera would be and one of the things was to kill the rabbit kill the rabbit
[speaker002:] oh
[speaker001:] and I thought oh how violent you know to kill the rabbit so he ended up killing the rabbit in the end uh but then of course the the rabbit comes back to life and says well see this is how an opera is supposed to be and I thought gee whiz if a little kid was watching this you know that would be pretty violent even uh for a small child
[speaker002:] well yeah and you know they especially boys I mean they're always talking about shooting and killing and all that kind of stuff and I don't think that they really realize that death is forever you know
[speaker001:] um-hum right
[speaker002:] and showing them something like that really doesn't teach them that it is
[speaker001:] that's right that's right well I don't think cartoons portray that but like
[speaker002:] no and to get them to feel like that that's just pretend I think is the hardest part you know
[speaker001:] yeah yeah a cat has nine lives
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] but they don't they just have one like we do oh so that's really funny but uh we've gotten uh-huh go ahead
[speaker002:] I I was just going to say I know that at least before our kids were born we used to always enjoy watching the Cosby Show Thursday nights usually had pretty good with that and as far as um very good comedy
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker002:] I like to watch Designing Women if the kids are in bed by then
[speaker001:] yes yes yeah that's true that's a good show I used to watch uh Dallas I don't I don't know where you're at
[speaker002:] we're we're in Dallas uh-huh
[speaker001:] Dallas yeah yeah I used to watch Dallas years years ago and somewhere in the middle I got uh bored and uh so I in fact I didn't even watch the finale uh you know that's about how disinterested I had become
[speaker002:] yes well I did watch it just to see what it was and wasn't it wasn't really that great so I think after a while they just kind of you know there's no new stuff they can do they've done everything dirty in the book you know so
[speaker001:] uh-huh well actually uh-huh yep yep I know I know was was it actually based on a book
[speaker002:] well no I imagine
[speaker001:] oh but you were just talking about okay
[speaker002:] everything you could think of you know had a hard time and I think maybe with Dallas as far as they lost a lot of characters that had been around at the first
[speaker001:] okay yeah right that's true that's true
[speaker002:] where I don't know I never watched Knots Landing but I think they've had a lot of their characters stay around
[speaker001:] stay um-hum um-hum yeah in if you notice and if you notice on Dallas they lost all the women
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] yes so the men mainly stayed but the women were the ones who left and I thought that was very interesting and wondered kind of wondered about that uh well anyway that's a whole new issue oh goodness so anyway I don't know if our five minutes are over yet
[speaker002:] yeah oh
[speaker001:] but we uh we also have the paid uh television channels uh the only thing I don't like about it especially with teenagers is that all the violence the sex the nudity and the curse words
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] you know and so I know they didn't pick up these curse words from me so uh they had to have picked them up from uh the T V
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] one nice thing though about the cable company we use they have uh they have that little parental uh uh key yeah yeah um-hum so I I have that at home and I keep the keys with me
[speaker002:] where you can lock up the channel or whatever yeah
[speaker001:] and that's about the only way that I can that I can do it because their natural curiosity you know to go towards that way and want yeah
[speaker002:] yeah and I don't know the way the generations are up growing up now I mean I just think they watch so much more T V I try to limit what they watch they aren't sitting in the house watching T V all day
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker002:] because I think it's good for them to have physical activity and that kind of stuff too so
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] and especially in the summer time we aren't in the house very much in the evenings it's the only cool time to be outside
[speaker001:] that's true well and here lately it hasn't been that cool anyway with the humidity being so high
[speaker002:] well true
[speaker001:] well it was nice talking to you
[speaker002:] well it was nice talking to you too
[speaker001:] okay talk with you later good-bye
[speaker002:] okay bye-bye
