[speaker001:] I mean Star Search Star Trek yeah uh-huh okay is
[speaker002:] can't be compared at all it
[speaker001:] is it better in your opinion
[speaker002:] oh much better
[speaker001:] um-hum what's better about it
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum is it much more believable sounds like I would I would probably like that better then the the old Star
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] okay huh
[speaker002:] and uh yeah yeah yeah I like it
[speaker001:] maybe I ought to try it out sometimes uh
[speaker002:] hey try it out and then then the following nights you can watch Married with Children
[speaker001:] right you like that show
[speaker002:] well yeah
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] yeah well that uh-huh yeah well sure it's a it's a good escape
[speaker001:] uh-huh right now I'm watching uh The Wonder Years
[speaker002:] The Wonder Years that's a good show
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] yeah well uh you you you don't sound old enough
[speaker001:] no huh-uh
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] uh-huh okay oh
[speaker002:] back a lot of memories and it's it's it it's amazingly accurate
[speaker001:] um-hum hum I was going to ask if it if it's accurate for you uh-huh
[speaker002:] oh yeah yeah it it it it really is
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] well
[speaker001:] you know and how it was back back then and you know
[speaker002:] yes yes well it it it is it it is accurate there's there there is um uh
[speaker001:] because of you
[speaker002:] the the latter part of the sixties was totally dominated by Vietnam and uh
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] right hum
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] yeah yeah um-hum right
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] um-hum right right
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] um-hum right right
[speaker002:] they were going to go have to go and it was a war that was really quite unpopular but
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker002:] it was kind of crazy
[speaker001:] yeah unlike this war that we just got out of here
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] yeah yeah yeah Cheers I I used to like the Cosby Show I've kind of gotten burned out on that though
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] uh yeah yeah
[speaker001:] um I like Evening Shade a lot of the new
[speaker002:] yeah I've got a friend that keeps threatening to kill me if I don't watch Evening Shade
[speaker001:] yeah that's a really good show that's a really good show
[speaker002:] she says that it's it's a really good show so I'm going to have to check it out
[speaker001:] and uh Designing Designing Women I like that a lot uh-huh
[speaker002:] yeah uh so do I
[speaker001:] yeah I like a lot of the newer a lot of the newer shows I like um there's
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] oh yes that was Friday in fact I went to a last episode of Dallas party
[speaker002:] yes
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] oh they  yeah I hear it was the dog of a show  oh well go out with a whimper
[speaker001:] so yeah exactly uh
[speaker002:] I guess that's the way to go
[speaker001:] what else do you watch besides Star Trek
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] yeah uh-huh
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] yeah and and that's what I like about it I can tune in any time
[speaker001:] uh-huh right and get the all all the days events uh-huh
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] right right yeah
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] sort of wallowed but uh
[speaker001:] yeah and and if you know notice I mean it's gone so far in the with just with just with this
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] uh-huh uh-huh
[speaker002:] about more what was happening by watching CNN than they were getting I mean the military folks even
[speaker001:] um-hum right and the the networks themselves were depending on CNN
[speaker002:] so oh exactly
[speaker001:] for a lot of things you know they would make they would even mention CNN and have their footage on and everything
[speaker002:] exactly yeah yeah so it it it it really has become sort of like the world's eye
[speaker001:] so their going to become right exactly
[speaker002:] uh and and I you know it was a it was an idea whose time had come that Turner's quite a character
[speaker001:] um-hum um um-hum
[speaker002:] Ted Turner
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] anyway I really enjoy I really enjoy having access to that all the time
