[speaker001:] Well, do you have any, uh, television programs that you watch regularly?
[speaker002:] Oh, this is kind of tough. I don't too often watch, you know, shows that are on, on a regular bases.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] I don't have a lot of time and I don't really like some of them to tell you the truth.
[speaker001:] [Throat clearing].
[speaker002:] I mean I don't thing they have any redeeming value.
[speaker001:] No.
[speaker002:] But, uh, oh, I watch things like, uh, SIXTY MINUTES,
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] every week. Uh, ugh, it's kind of tough to think of some of the others. Although, I do watch some of some of those frivolous things. Uh,
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] like on Thursday nights at nine o'clock when I get home from aerobics I will watch, uh, KNOTS LANDING [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Oh, you will?
[speaker002:] Yeah, just something like that for, you know, uh, end of the evening type of thing,
[speaker001:] Relax.
[speaker002:] but, uh. How about you?
[speaker001:] Well, I watch, um, I like news programs, like you mentioned, and sometimes I will watch, um, like the cable news, network evening news program.
[speaker002:] Yeah, I don't get that so I don't have,
[speaker001:] [Throat clearing].
[speaker002:] that choice.
[speaker001:] Yeah, I, I like that. I, I watch that a couple of times a week, um, it comes on like at nine o'clock,
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] at night and I really don't have any like situation comedies that I watch regularly. I, I have seen that, um, MURPHY BROWN that comes on,
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] Monday nights before and it's kind of cute,
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] and, but I don't,
[speaker002:] But there's a couple of those I've seen once in a while,
[speaker001:] [Throat clearing] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] uh, I can't think of the name of the one that has the, uh, military, uh, fellow.
[speaker001:] Oh, but,
[speaker002:] I mean he's playing a military part. He's the husband of,
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] the girl on DESIGNING WOMEN.
[speaker001:] Right. I know who you're talking about. I haven't, I have seen it, I think, maybe once.
[speaker002:] Yeah, you know, it wa-, it was on one time when I saw it and, you know, it, it's pretty cute.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] I like that Well, I, um, I, we really don't watch too many programs regularly. My children like some of the morning children's shows,
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] when they're home. They, um, I just have one son who's in kindergarten so in the morning they will like to watch like, um, EUREKA'S CASTLE, it's called. It's just like a SESAME STREET,
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] show, but [throat clearing], and they watch a couple of shows like that, but I don't watch any daytime T V at all.
[speaker002:] Yeah, no I don't,
[speaker001:] And, uh,
[speaker002:] I guess, uh, there's some, uh, things on Channel Thirteen that I watch pretty regularly.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] On Saturdays they have, uh, a variety of things, uh, and a lot of times I record it and watch it some other time. But, uh,
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] they have programs on, uh, house repairs and,
[speaker001:] Um.
[speaker002:] how to build things and, um, they have a calligraphy show, and I do calligraphy, so, I watch that.
[speaker001:] Oh, that's nice.
[speaker002:] And, um, they have a lot of cooking shows,
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] And, oh, you know, I'll just short of have it on sometimes to just sort of pick up little tidbits from those. I don't sit and watch them but, but I enjoy some of it and especially if I'm, uh, cooking on a Saturday evening or something,
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] and one of those is on, it kind of inspires me.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] That sounds like a good idea. I notice that, um, since we moved here that we, we did get the cable T V, and when the newspaper comes out on Sunday, I sometimes read through the movies that will be listed,
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] and I record some. And then, uh, we have just totally cut down, and we never go to like a video tape rental anymore because there's always plenty of things that we can record and then,
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] and watch and then record over it, something else. And so that's been really nice because if you decide one evening you would like to stay home and have a quiet evening and watch a movie then you have two or three saved.
[speaker002:] Yeah, we do some of that,
[speaker001:] [Throat clearing].
[speaker002:] In fact, I probably am more interested in watching some of the movies that are on T V,
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] than, you know, other kinds of things.
[speaker001:] Well, that's probably what I watch most frequently besides like news programs is the movies and they have a couple of channels that are like nostalgic older movies,
[speaker002:] Yes.
[speaker001:] that I have really enjoyed that I'm seeing for the first time [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] Like the MARX BROTHERS [static] and things like that.
[speaker002:] Yeah, those are pretty good I, I like those old ones,
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] much better than some of the new stuff.
[speaker001:] [Static] Right. And so we, we have really enjoyed that and it's really nice not to be running out. Some of the video rentals can be expensive and,
[speaker002:] Yeah. And, boy, the movie can be unbelievable.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh, right. Going and paying six dollars for a ticket for one person at the theater or something. So we, I have, and it's so convenient at home and you can do it anytime y-, you take the notion.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] And so, I have really enjoyed that but, but there are, I do have friends that watch programs like they want to see a particular program and they are either home watching it or definitely recording it. They have some programs that they won't miss.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh, I'm not that hung up to most things.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] I mean if I miss something big deal [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Yes. Well, and things are repeated,
[speaker002:] Yeah. That's true.
[speaker001:] so often that you know if, if I have seen just a program once chances are it'll be that exact same show [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] if I ever decide to tune it in again,
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] the only one I've ever seen and it'll be showing again. Pretty funny.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] But, uh, T V is something that we try an-, to not, um, deliberately try not to get hung up on it,
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] like you say.
[speaker002:] We do too. Too many other things to do and too much going on.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh. And we don't want our kids to, to grow up thinking that that's what you do with your,
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] spare time.
[speaker002:] Right. I agree.
[speaker001:] So it's a little bit, something that we try doing and there's, there's a lot of good children's programs that you could watch they could watch several hours every day.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] And you could say, oh, that's a good program for them because it's educational but still you want them to go out and do other things. Even if they're,
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] good programs you don't want them sitting there watching them.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] Anyway. Well,
[speaker002:] Okay. Well, we probably exhausted that, huh?
[speaker001:] Yeah, That was pretty good I, I like that and, um, I guess it's time to go.
[speaker002:] Okay. I enjoyed talking to you.
[speaker001:] Yes. Nice to have spoken with you, too.
[speaker002:] Okay.
[speaker001:] Bye-bye.
[speaker002:] Good-bye.
