V: hello, dear audience, welcome to our school talk show, I’m Value.
W: Hello, everyone, I’m your old friend Leonor 。
V: Hi Leo, what kind of TV shows do you like to watch?
L: I really love situation comedy. 也就是情景喜剧。Do you?
V: Oh yeah, me too. And it's great that there are so many shows now to choose from!
L: 哈哈，I know! There are so many TV programs that I can't keep them straight!
V: That’s right. Leo, you know what my favorite show is? It’s RM.
L: RM? What’s that?
V: Ok, Let me explain. RM stands for Running Man. It’s a reality show from South Korea. Did you ever hear about it？
L: Oh, yeah, 因为中国《奔跑吧兄弟》节目的上映，我了解了一点Running Man.
V: Well, you know, Leo. Running Man is very successful. It has been on 5 seasons, and has made more than 230 episodes.
L：Wow, Value, you remember that so clearly! I really don’t know it has been on 5 seasons, more than 230 episodes?! It’s that popular.
V: 是啊, 而且我几乎每集都看过，并且一直在追。
L: Why do you like this program so much? Do you have any special reasons?
V: yeah, It brings us so much fun. The 7 hosts
Play many games in the show. All of them will try their best to win. And during those games, they maybe betray each other and cheat the enemies. That plot entertains us a lot.
L: Sounds interesting! So, what kind of games will they play there?
V: 比如有一期，他们要玩这样一个游戏，两人一组，一个人坐在飞椅上，另一个人和对方猜拳，如果输了的话，飞椅上的人就会被“嘭”的一声扔进水里，每当这时候，RM成员们就会搞怪的唱到“干爽啊，干爽，今天要干爽的回家。”
L: wow, How funny they are!
V：You bet! I really like watching reality TV. 你刚才说喜欢看情景喜剧，我看过《六人行》，那算吗？
L: I used to watch Friends religiously! I cried when it went off the air in 2004.
V: Oh yeah.
L: Friends was a really popular sitcom. They are fashionable for a time.
V: But wasn't it pretty unrealistic? None of the characters worked very often, but they had a huge apartment in New York city.
L: Who cares? Sitcom追求的是搞笑、好玩儿，谁会在乎情节的真实性啊！
V: Okay, Why did you like Friends so much? Did you think it was really funny?
L: Yeah, it was really funny, but it also had a great storyline. All the different episodes were part of the same plot.
V: That's true. I also thought that the dialogue was really good too. 每集的内容相互联系，使整个节目有一个完整的故事埂概。
L: Oh yeah, the dialogue was great. I thought everything the characters said to one another was really funny.
V: The other thing that made Friends so good was the cast. All the actors were perfect for their characters.
L: 是啊，我也觉得演员阵容选得很好。The actor who played Ross did a great job. He was hilarious!
V: Really? I didn't think he was the funniest. My favorite character was Joey.
L：Joey was pretty good, but not as funny as Ross. And the relationship between Ross and Rachel was really romantic too.
V： It was kind of romantic, but it got old. 因为这些情节老演老演，就变得没劲了。
L: What about you, Value? Do you like sitcoms?
V: Not anymore. Ever since the series finale of Friends, I haven't found any other sitcoms that I really like.
L：是吗？那你现在都看什么电视节目啊？Do you only focus on your running man?
V: Of course not. Lately, I've gotten really into more serious shows, like crime dramas.
L: So, you like crime dramas, huh? Why are you so into them?
V: I really want to become a lawyer one day,所以看一些这样的节目，我可以从中学到关于司法系统的一些知识。
L: Oh come on.... That show is so boring. Each show has the same plot. The police arrest someone for a crime, and then he goes to trial.
V: No way! It's totally interesting the way it shows how the American justice system works. If it were so boring, why would there be so many spinoffs?
L: Well that's one thing we can agree on. There are definitely a lot of cookie-cutter spinoffs.就是千篇一律的东西。 Well what are some of the other crime dramas you like?
V: Do you know the show Crime Scene Investigation? We usually call it CSI. It's about a team of police investigators solving crimes in Las Vegas.
L: Sure, I've heard of CSI. What other shows do you like?
V: 还有好多犯罪类型的电视剧啊。还有CSI New York 和 CSI Miami.
L: value ... can't you see that those are all the same show! They just happen in different cities!
V: No way! They're all totally different. And besides, they all get really good ratings and rave reviews.
L: You know, all this talk reminds me that CSI Miami is coming on pretty soon. Do you mind if I cut our date short so I can get to dorm to watch it?
Jane: ha-ha, okay. Well I hope you enjoy it.
V: OK，that’s all for today’s show, see you next time.
L: bye bye~
