[speaker001:] okay anyway so what have what have you been into did you watch LA Law last night
[speaker002:] uh no actually I I don't I I don't uh it's funny I don't really seem to watch a lot of television what um I usually like to pick up on TV are some of the news type of shows like you know 2020 60 Minutes
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] um unfortunately a couple of weekly soaps like Knots Landing and uh Dallas we watch and uh and I usually uh I just other than those I I catch movies once in a while I like a lot of the movies that are you know true stories true to life that type of thing
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] um but I'm not I'm not real big on that much on television uh I don't have really many favorite shows that I I must see every week you know
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] uh part of that I think is uh I have two boys and you know usually I don't get to sit down to watch the
[speaker001:] they they they get first crack huh
[speaker002:] yeah yeah so uh anyway um but how about you then
[speaker001:] well I usually I guess a lot of the sitcoms
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] Cosby Cheers uh
[speaker002:] well I find I do sit down with them when they have those those they like a lot of those uh shows and often when they have them on
[speaker001:] uh uh-huh
[speaker002:] that's when they're quiet I like sit sit down with them and watch it yeah
[speaker001:] yeah A different A Different World a Different World
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] but some of the other ones like I've been getting into L A Law and uh
[speaker002:] uh-huh do you watch uh Thirty Something
[speaker001:] no I don't make a point I I guess I really never make a point to to watch anything I'll just end up catching it but uh
[speaker002:] yeah so you catch whatever might be on if you're interested that evening
[speaker001:] yeah you know if I'm not doing that night uh
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] you know which I guess is usually most nights no
[speaker002:] uh-huh yeah yeah
[speaker001:] but uh oh speaking of 2020 you didn't see the one in with the exorcists exorcists
[speaker002:] uh um I you know I wanted to and I forget I really I kept seeing it advertised and I wanted to see that and I don't know we might not have been home or something excuse me and I didn't see that but I was really interested in in that I I found that a pretty interesting story that they said the church recognized that as as a real exorcism
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] uh did you see that show
[speaker001:] yeah I did
[speaker002:] and what what did you think what did they what uh was that all about
[speaker001:] oh well the girl that supposedly was possessed uh had actually uh you know seen uh you know something uh some medical the medical side I don't know if it was a psychologist or what all but
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] um you know it was interesting interesting it's interesting uh and uh you know I'm from you know I'm was raised Catholic fairly you know fairly fairly strong with my mom and dad so
[speaker002:] yeah my husband is too yeah
[speaker001:] but it you know that's kind of interesting um but the bottom line it you know they did the exorcism it wasn't real major you know she she was fairly you know she you know obviously there she you know she something was wrong with her
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] but uh it wasn't really uh you know extraordinary as far as her actions and she had done that and she felt like that helped her but at the same time shortly after that exorcism they also started um
[speaker002:] um
[speaker001:] um uh giving her medication for like a split personality type stuff of
[speaker002:] oh okay
[speaker001:] so uh she's doing better but and and the girl herself you know believes that it you know that she was uh you know possessed but and you know it it's hard to say
[speaker002:] hum it could be a multiple like one of these multiple personality disorders
[speaker001:] yeah I'm not I'm not sure you know who knows but uh anyway it wasn't uh
[speaker002:] also yeah huh
[speaker001:] you know it was uh it was you know
[speaker002:] it wasn't as dramatic as I guess maybe they made it seem
[speaker001:] well I I can't say it wasn't just because of the fact that that it's pretty unusual for something like that to be nationally televised uh or or have anybody come in you know who who would want to have that televised you know if that was happening to your daughter
[speaker002:] right and well right right and also
[speaker001:] and her parents are right there you know doing it all you know so
[speaker002:] yeah um and also for the church to recognize it as a a true exorcism you know um usually they're such I think I really think that there's a fine line between what um you know a lot of people think is possessed and what are really mental disorders you know and maybe in the old days you know many years ago what they often said oh people were possessed we probably recognize now as schizophrenia or something
[speaker001:] um uh-huh
[speaker002:] um and uh you know it's it's it's hard to to say you know whether it's it's just a it's a mental disorder or it's really uh uh it's a or if it's a split personality or something
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] wait honey I can't talk right now uh but um what I don't know now what area are you living in
[speaker001:] I'm in Phoenix Arizona right now
[speaker002:] oh wait Jackie what yes okay okay go excuse me so
[speaker001:] are you in Dallas
[speaker002:] uh no we are uh outside of Washington DC
[speaker001:] oh okay
[speaker002:] and I was just the reason I asked that I was curious I thought maybe in different parts of uh you know the country maybe there were certain shows that were more more popular than in other parts and I know in this area it's I don't know DC is especially the newer areas are really known for having so many yuppies you know and a lot of them are into Thirty Something and you know
[speaker001:] yeah yeah
[speaker002:] uh I don't know some of the other shows they watch um Twin Peaks you know and I'm not really into those shows and that really surprises people
[speaker001:] yeah I I never got caught up in Twin Twin Peaks either so
[speaker002:] yeah yeah and I just I was just wondering demographically if you know if different parts if there were shows that were more popular than in other areas I don't know like where you live um you know what are the real
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] what are the hot shows you know that everybody seems to want to watch
[speaker001:] uh I don't know I don't hear people talk at work you know
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] as far as uh you know what what people are getting into but um you know some of the top sitcoms obviously do you know always in the top five you know the Cosby or I think A Different World is real strong and
[speaker002:] yeah uh-huh
[speaker001:] uh
[speaker002:] now that's funny see I haven't even heard of that show that's just
[speaker001:] yeah well that's the one it's the one right after Cosby and it's produced by Co sby and it's about it's basically about uh college
[speaker002:] oh is that right so
[speaker001:] uh
[speaker002:] oh okay
[speaker001:] you know and it it obvious it's you know since since it's kind of promoted by Cosby it's you know mostly blacks
[speaker002:] I see uh-huh
[speaker001:] but uh but it's it's a pretty good show it uh
[speaker002:] and are all the kids into the Simpsons
[speaker001:] have you ever heard of Jasmine Guy
[speaker002:] pardon me uh yes
[speaker001:] okay now she's one of the main stars of that and now she's just come out came out with an album
[speaker002:] oh okay
[speaker001:] and uh and which is fairly successful she's got one or two singles that have done very well so but she is a very strong personality in that show uh and uh
[speaker002:] uh-huh I see
[speaker001:] it's your basic college and what people run into and they in fact they just had a show covering AIDS
[speaker002:] and uh oh is that right
[speaker001:] so you know they try to get their messages across I should say
[speaker002:] yeah now there's a new show on and I can't think of the name of it apparently the producer of it was a Potomac resident um you know which is right right around here close to where we we are living you know the Potomac
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] area outside of DC and and I I think he went to like Wooton High School here or something and and some of the papers that circulating the rumor that this show is based upon stories that actually happened at Wooton High where he went and that's and he she denies some of it you know um I oh eh eh I eh it might be the Beverly Hills um there's that one called Beverly Hills one O two one O or something like that uh
[speaker001:] um not sure
[speaker002:] and uh that's becoming a little popular and of course the kids all like the Simpsons here
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] and uh I guess it's the same there also
[speaker001:] yeah uh that one is is it still competing with Cosby
[speaker002:] um I'm not sure I don't know what's happened uh I know a lot of some of the parents won't let their kids watch it you know uh
[speaker001:] such a brat
[speaker002:] yeah but um it what what uh what changes would you like to see I mean in in in you know evening television do you think there should be more like news type programs like 2020 or more comedies or weeklies
[speaker001:] honestly I'm indifferent I probably I probably will watch a little bit of everything uh I I I I get into movies I'll uh I'll see you know I'll watch 2020 or I'll
[speaker002:] you're indifferent it doesn't matter yeah uh-huh
[speaker001:] uh you know I guess I'm only mostly into sitcoms I guess my favorite you know one show I'm really into is Arsenio Hall
[speaker002:] uh-huh oh yeah I watch that uh-huh
[speaker001:] and uh and then you know I've been watching him for a long time now and I I needed a break and I watched Johnny Carson last night a little more level you know and so it's like I'm just
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] think oh what do I feel like today you know we're getting option our options on different talk shows and I always liked watching Letterman but he starts so late
[speaker002:] you so you like some of these late shows
[speaker001:] yeah well the the talk shows with the personality yeah and uh
[speaker002:] yeah yeah talk shows yeah
[speaker001:] but uh Letterman starts pretty late out here about twelve o'clock
[speaker002:] uh-huh right oh oh okay
[speaker001:] but I'll still watch it once in a while
[speaker002:] yeah yeah um I guess so I think also probably because people now there are so many uh everybody has VCR's and rents so many movies that might have I don't know that might have hurt some of the the popularity of certain shows you know a lot of things that they put on Saturday nights a lot of people
[speaker001:] yeah
