[speaker002:] okay what are your favorite things to watch
[speaker001:] oh um let's see I uh I have enjoyed uh Thirtysomething
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] in the past uh now now that it has gone off
[speaker002:] uh
[speaker001:] some comedy shows uh I can't can't think of off hand of
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] what what are your what is
[speaker002:] we do not watch a lot of TV we try to watch it on Thursday nights we usually watch LA Law I like that real well
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] and Cheers we like to watch that
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] ah we like to watch that uh we sort of got hooked on LA Law um do you ever watch that
[speaker001:] yeah uh yeah yeah we we we try to catch that most most nights
[speaker002:] yeah yeah I I have watched Thirtysomething some in the last couple seasons I was sort of sorry to see it go
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] too
[speaker001:] it it was kind of interesting uh some people complained about uh uh the kind of whining or whatever on it I I did I really did not think it was it was that way I think it had some some good uh
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] good situations that it uh presented
[speaker002:] yeah I thought a lot of the like the problems that Michael and Hope had in their marriage and stuff I can relate to some of those things and
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] just the dynamics of it and everything
[speaker001:] well I think I think a lot of people you know kind of felt that way but they had a lot of uh uh uh counseling groups that used some of the episodes as as examples of of things that were going on and uh
[speaker002:] oh really
[speaker001:] you you you know that the effect of interaction between people and sort of to use as uh as a way of getting people to talk about their problems that sort of thing uh
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] we kind of uh uh our TV viewing has uh slowed down a little bit since our our daughter came along so uh that that tends to put a cramp in your viewing because by the time you get through getting her ready for bed and everything uh it's uh very little TV time left
[speaker002:] yeah you are too tired do anything yeah it's better to spend time with your kids I think though than glued in front of the TV anyway
[speaker001:] yeah yeah that's right
[speaker002:] probably more worthwhile I just don't I don't think there's as many good things to watch as there used to be really
[speaker001:] no I I I can't uh I don't think there were uh I I haven't I haven't uh uh there are not as many good shows that I that I continuously like to watch as much as I used to I uh you know there uh I used to could be able to name ten shows or so you know that I felt were worth my time to watch but uh I I I very seldom like to watch there there's there's a there's a couple now that I tend to want to watch I like uh home improvement shows like Bob Vela's uh Home Home Again on Saturday morning it's enough it's like it's like This Old House but it's uh it's on instead of being on public PBS it's on regular TV but uh it's kind of interesting because I
[speaker002:] right yeah oh
[speaker001:] they renovate an old house and
[speaker002:] uh-huh yeah I've seen parts of that before it is interesting
[speaker001:] yeah so uh I I like to watch that uh some some things on PBS I like to watch but uh
[speaker002:] do you watch sports much on TV
[speaker001:] yeah if it's somebody if it's a team or something that I am really interested in I I am not one to just watch a football game just to be just to be watching it or I am not a big basketball or baseball fan if it unless it's baseball if it's some if it's a team I really like I may watch but uh
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] its uh baseball to me is a little hard to watch on TV for an extended period yeah its so slow that you just get bored I'll I'll switch between
[speaker002:] yeah it's slow
[speaker001:] something else and and and a baseball game going back and forth you know watching it but I usually if if if it's a football team I really like a college team or or pro team that I'm fond of I usually will will sit and watch that but uh that's the
[speaker002:] yeah we are like that and occasionally we'll like on if we do not have anything to do or kind of bored and we just want to sit in the house or something we'll watch a little bit of a golf tournament but uh you can not take a whole lot of that either it's pretty slow
[speaker001:] yeah yeah it's kind of like football like baseball
[speaker002:] uh do you watch we rent movies a lot on weekends and watch them at home because there's just nothing on Friday and Saturday nights there's nothing good on
[speaker001:] right I think that that that's um what more people are doing and I think that's you know as as TV I think that less good shows being on TV has caused a lot of people to do to do that uh you know to get more movies and watch I know we've we've done that too in the past uh we don't do it quite as much now because huh our baby won't let us watch them but uh
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] uh you know we usually will we used to rent uh two or three movies on a weekend and and and try to watch
[speaker002:] uh-huh do you have cable TV
[speaker001:] no uh we live in
[speaker002:] we don't either I thought we were the only ones who didn't have it
[speaker001:] no no we uh the uh development we moved into was they have it on on side like right across the street from us but when they built our section they didn't didn't put it in and
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] we've been there about two years now and they're still still do not have it so I'm hoping that
[speaker002:] gosh yeah
[speaker001:] that soon they'll they'll they'll I have contacted them about this and they say that well it's it's they look they every year they look at different areas and try to determine where where uh the most houses will be and so they
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] they look and they when they when we reach a certain number of people in that area they'll put one in put some in or they'll at least consider it so
[speaker002:] huh yeah yeah well we had it for awhile and it just seemed like we never watched any it we didn't have the movie channels we just had all the normal ones that come and we just never watched any of them we kept a log for a month of every time we watched it and it seemed like we didn't watch even half an hour so we decided to just cancel it it does improve the reception a little bit though that's the only thing
[speaker001:] yeah um yeah yeah I've uh I've I've uh I have I put some put in some uh an antenna a really good antenna and uh it's really helped you know ours and it's not been too bad I have not really missed it that much there are certain things that I've that I want to see you know occasionally like like a football football game a college game or something that happens to be on cable or some old movie you know I I haven't been bothered by it by it too much
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] so
[speaker002:] well I can't uh think of too much else to say since we are not big watchers well it was nice talking to you um bye
[speaker001:] right okay all right bye
