[speaker001:] yeah so uh what are your favorite TV shows
[speaker002:] one that I can't find anymore which is Gabriel's Fire
[speaker001:] oh I haven't watched that very much is that do you like that
[speaker002:] yes
[speaker001:] when was that on
[speaker002:] it was usually on um Thursday nights
[speaker001:] on ABC
[speaker002:] I don't know
[speaker001:] uh oh oh yeah well um um it may be that um it was recently replaced by actually by um by what may be my favorite TV show of because sort of uh um Twin Peaks
[speaker002:] it was same time period yes
[speaker001:] yeah so Twin Peaks um what happened was I think Twin Peaks um went went off they moved to a Saturday night for a while and then put and then put something I guess Gabriel's Fire on it and at Thursday nights and then they moved um no Gabriel's Fire was on CBS I think I I take that back I'm not sure but anyway they moved it back and forth and that's when Peaks was back in that time slot as well so I don't know
[speaker002:] you don't know what happened to Gabriel's Fire then
[speaker001:] no I have no idea I don't think I don't think that was on ABC anyway I don't know what happened to it though
[speaker002:] I don't remember one from one station to another I keep forgetting one station what's your second favorite
[speaker001:] um it's hard to say I'm sort of a very big Twin Peaks fan and beyond that I just sort of watch anything that happens to be on I'm I'm half the time I'm a TV addict and the other half the time I just ignore it it's really bad yeah there's some new shows that I sort of like um have you seen this Shannon Steel Show or uh it's about a lawyer it's one of these lawyer shows you know they they seem to be popular these days and then there's just a lot of those sort of Blair shows floating around
[speaker002:] oh is he the reformed um gambler yes yes yes
[speaker001:] yes I just I mean like I just finished watching that a few minutes ago um and it and that that's a interesting one I I I like that because there's there are I've noticed that every every major station now has their own law show there's LA Law and there's um Equal Justice some other one Law And Order or something lots of lots of these things that are floating around now they seem to be popular shows do you like the law shows or
[speaker002:] I really don't watch that much TV what I do is I tape the programs I want to watch and then on the nights I can watch I'll pick out something but um
[speaker001:] that that makes logical sense also saves a lot of time with commercials
[speaker002:] you're not kidding do you ever watch American Gladiators
[speaker001:] oh I have I've I've caught I watched that late um I guess it's on late Saturday nights or something that's on during the day as well
[speaker002:] midnight midnight
[speaker001:] have you have have you seen this often
[speaker002:] I tape it
[speaker001:] oh really
[speaker002:] yeah I tape it because I don't stay up that late to watch it I tape it
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] but I understand uh that in England they play it at normal times because they don't consider that violent and the reason they have it on here so late is because they consider it a violent program
[speaker001:] really I don't know that
[speaker002:] and I'm like I don't believe this
[speaker001:] I that don't it it it seems like I mean if wrestling is prime time professional wrestling it seems like it's just just just like pros in a wrestling to me I don't I don't see any difference though
[speaker002:] I don't either
[speaker001:] I I don't understand it they consider it violent I have so ever I have seen it on where we are I live in uh Rochester New York and I think a
[speaker002:] you're in New York
[speaker001:] yes
[speaker002:] oh
[speaker001:] where are you
[speaker002:] I'm in Dallas Texas
[speaker001:] you're uh everybody I speak to is in Texas oh oh yeah but I'm I'm in New York and uh we seem we seem to have um I think the American Gladiators is on Sunday afternoons actually around here
[speaker002:] oh really
[speaker001:] as well sometimes I think it's been on I think I've seen it during the day I know I've seen it during the day in Florida when I was at my parents down there
[speaker002:] oh
[speaker001:] definitely seen it done on on during the day down there and I don't think it's a very violent show I think it's funny I think it's a real good concept I think it's something completely new
[speaker002:] I think it's great I love watching a microbiologist fighting off with a policemen or something else and competition I'm going oh great you know
[speaker001:] well
[speaker002:] it's a it's a great role model for everybody
[speaker001:] yeah I think so I think because people sort of get through you know um I think that people sort of learn the importance of sort of physical fitness as well as the as well as you know some mental fitness and I think that people sort of learn good sportsmanship and so forth
[speaker002:] oh yes I mean when I had uh I was watching it the first time I ever saw a microbiologist on there I thought well it just goes to prove it has nothing to do with your physical capabilities and uh there she was terrific she was really terrific
[speaker001:] well don't they take people who have some sort of um big abilities like and and at least they used to when it when it the first ones I saw they had um a man on who was uh he played college football and almost went pro and they had a a woman who was a black belt in karate and she was the uh she was in the junior Olympics or something or they seem to have people who have very very big sports backgrounds to have they leaned leaned away from that sort of
[speaker002:] they hold competitions in Los Angeles in um Florida and Minneapolis Minneapolis um um trying to think of I think it's in four places around the United States they hold competition and the only requirement is of course your skill of passing these tests
[speaker001:] oh that's how they do it
[speaker002:] and that's it and we had a bar man from here in Dallas area that made it there is a woman that uh made
[speaker001:] really
[speaker002:] well she called herself a craft person so I'm not quite sure what she made and uh she made it I mean there is no your occupation has nothing to do with it
[speaker001:] yeah okay I just thought they had some
[speaker002:] strictly your skill
[speaker001:] yeah I thought they had some sort of I mean I thought they were just poor people like us I guess not that's great
[speaker002:] huh-uh
[speaker001:] but maybe I'll try it one day I will get on it one day and see if I can uh um what what do they win they they win money I think don't they
[speaker002:] I think the last I heard was it's up to about a hundred fifty thousand dollars
[speaker001:] really
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] wow all that for getting tennis balls shot at you at a hundred miles an hour
[speaker002:] yeah that's you know just minor just minor little ball here or there you know
[speaker001:] one little ball here and there yeah and this guy's beating you up so I don't mind the beating up part I I actually feel the tennis balls would hurt
[speaker002:] oh well they they come out with a lot of bruises too
[speaker001:] they look like yeah they seem like a tennis ball but there also doesn't look like it's almost livable yeah but best it I I don't think I could I I could handle those tennis balls so what else to you tape besides American Gladiators at there anything else
[speaker002:] hey
[speaker001:] huh
[speaker002:] see I tape Murder She Wrote
[speaker001:] okay
[speaker002:] I like mysteries
[speaker001:] oh okay
[speaker002:] I like mysteries I tape um Father Dowling
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] because that's another mystery and I don't have to concentrate too hard on them
[speaker001:] but I'm sure that's fun
[speaker002:] um most of the lawyer programs like uh Law And Order
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] they're not on the times that I've got that I've watched because I haven't had T got TV Guide around here in ages
[speaker001:] oh okay well they seem to be on later all always right right before the news is when I catch them
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] I I tend to if nothing else I tend to turn on the television at eleven o'clock just to watch the news and or or Nightline or something just sort of get a good you know a good a good think for the day
[speaker002:] your news is on at eleven
[speaker001:] yes when is yours on
[speaker002:] ten I was just in the middle of watching it
[speaker001:] oh gosh well I'm sorry I interrupted um
[speaker002:] oh that's okay no problem
[speaker001:] yeah ours is on actually it ours is on at eleven it it's um eleven o'clock now here or eleven twenty five now here in New York um I think they would they do that I think they put things on at um eleven o'clock here and I think they put it like eleven o'clock um California time like in California but in the middle they sort of um like central time or mountain time they they push things back so I was actually actually I'm not sure I was in I was in Iowa awhile ago and noticed that everything was an hour earlier so does your prime time start at seven o'clock
[speaker002:] no well they have it at six and they have it at nine
[speaker001:] wait no no not not even the news but do they have like um
[speaker002:] and they have one at ten
[speaker001:] do like sort of all the regular sitcoms and so forth start at seven o'clock you so like you know the regular television shows that are that are very popular do they start at seven or or at eight
[speaker002:] I'm trying to think both um let's see they start um Evening Shade at  seven and then it goes to um what is it after Evening um
[speaker001:] right because that would actually start at eight o'clock here
[speaker002:] that's Major Dad at eight I think it is
[speaker001:] yeah that that would all start at at um that would all start at at eight o'clock here that wouldn't start at seven we have um at seven o'clock we just have um the they'll play you know they have old reruns of Cheers or something from seven to seven thirty and then something else from seven thirty to eight but then at at eight o'clock is when everything starts
[speaker002:] huh
[speaker001:] which is which is strange I mean because yours start at seven and end at ten and ours start at at at at at eight and end at eleven that's why we I I would actually like it better if everything started at seven and ended at ten
[speaker002:] yeah it's it's stopped around here at ten and it goes into night programs at that point which could be one of you know many different night programs but it goes into night programs but uh do you ever watch Cheers
[speaker001:] oh that's great oh all the time do you watch Cheers or
[speaker002:] oh yeah oh yeah
[speaker001:] there's there's it's at that was actually a big dilemma for me now because um Cheers Cheers and Twin Peaks are now on the same time
