From the archives...what watching TV is like in our famiily:

Last night, flipping through the channels, we came across The Fugitive. The following is pretty close to actual discussion:

Cotter: Hey, that's Han Solo!

Me: That's right.

Kaylyn: Why is he running?

Me: Because they think he did something bad.

Kaylyn: So Han Solo is a bad guy?

Me: No, he didn't do what they said he did.

Kaylyn: So who did?

Me: A one-armed man.

Cotter: Hey! That's 'K.' (Tommy Lee Jones, referring to his Men In Black character)

Me: Oh yeah. That's right. Agent K is trying to catch Han Solo.

Cotter: Where's 'J?'

Me: He's not in this movie?

Cotter: Is that singing dog in this one?

Me: No, he's not in this one.

Cotter: Who let the dogs out? Woof woof woof woofwoof woof!

Me (to Kelli): That's a little unrealistic...the Chicago Police would not shoot at him if he was unarmed.

Kaylyn: What do you mean unarmed? He's has two arms. I thought you said a one-armed man was the bad guy. I'm confused!

Me: No...wait...Han Solo...does have two arms....'unarmed' means he doesn't have a weapon.

Kaylyn: Han Solo uses his arms as weapons?

Kelli (to me): I am laughing at you, Professor 'Inside the Actor's Studio.'

Me: Let's see what else is on....
