19. TV Shows (Part 2)

Emma 0:02 You are listening to Dialogue Frog’s, short English conversations for listening, speaking and shadowing practice. We’re going to conclude our talk today on TV shows. Luke 0:13 Oh, yeah. So, put you on the spot. Emma 0:20 If you must. Luke 0:22 What is your favorite TV show? Emma 0:28 TV show or sitcom? Luke 0:31 Okay, that is uh-okay, two parter. One, your favorite sitcom and two, your favorite animated show, too. Emma 0:42 Oh, okay. Luke 0:43 ‘Cause we didn’t even talk about those. Emma 0:44 No we didn’t. Luke 0:45 That’s a whole nother episode right there. Emma 0:46 Yeah, it’s an entirely different genre of television. Um, I, man, that’s hard. Maybe, maybe Frasier? Either Frasier or Friends. That’s really tough. Luke 1:11 I think, ’cause when I when I watched those two shows what I thought was, Friends was really, really good and it had a lot of really funny moments. But you felt a lot of empathy with the characters. And it mattered when stuff, when bad stuff happened to them. Emma 1:27 Yep. Luke 1:27 And you felt like you kind of felt like you were the seventh friend. Emma 1:30 That’s true. Luke 1:32 But with Frasier it was really highbrow. Emma 1:36 Yes. Luke 1:37 And there were a lot of extremely clever moments, um, which Friends never quite had. And that they had a lot of funny moments, but they weren’t like, wow, that was super, super clever. Emma 1:50 Right. Luke 1:50 It’s like, but at the same time, you never quite got the same level of empathy. Emma 1:56 It’s uh, different types of comedy, I think. Luke 1:59 Mm hm. Emma 2:00 Even though they are both sitcoms, they had very different approaches. Luke 2:04 Yep. Emma 2:07 Chandler and Joey though. Luke 2:09 Yeah, you can’t. You can’t mess with that. That’s- Emma 2:10 They are hilarious. And their duck and chicken. Luke 2:15 Duck and chicken. Emma 2:17 Yep. Luke 2:18 Probably the, possibly, I’m just gonna come out and say that this is factual information. Emma 2:24 Okay. Luke 2:24 That is the best moment. This isn’t, people, this isn’t just my opinion. This is a fact. That is the best moment in television history is the chicken and duck. Emma 2:39 And, you know, that’s already probably on Wikipedia. They could find it and fact check you. Luke 2:43 I think so. Yeah. It’s not gonna have the little tab that says citation needed. It’ll just say ‘common knowledge.’ Luke 2:50 ‘The truth.’ Yep. Luke 2:54 Well, everyone that’s been quite a dialogue on Dialogue Frog.
