hi. i didnt know that drama was basically considered the same genre as poetry
gpt
*calm eyes* I think it's "a" genre of poetry.  There certainly are dramatic poems, just like there can be comedic poems as well.
human
I guess that makes sense, the two greek masks represent comedy and trajedy. 
gpt
Sure.  Have you listened to old radio dramas before?
human
Yeah! i just heard there was a site where i could listen to old ones! i will be checking it out!
gpt
I'm interested as well.  I used to have a cassette tape of a comedy show, "Who's on First" but I lost it.  I'd love to hear it again.  I also like C.S Lewis' radio broadcasts.
human
*leans forward* I think you might find those on youtube tonight if you look. did you know that hugh laurie made 700k an episode for house?
gpt
*relaxed posture* yes, I've heard that.  But I also heard that each of the Big Bang Theory actors makes over 1M per episode.  Comedy seems to pay more than drama.  Do you think it should?
human
i dont think it should but that is why big movies pay more. i brought up hugh because i too, thought the "friends" actors made a lot more too?
gpt
*wrinkles nose* Well, I know I like to watch comedies more than dramas.  Money will follow the viewers.  I don't think awards always follow the viewers though.  I mean, 3rd Rock beat out seinfeld for best comedy in 1997.
human
*frowns* Both of those were great shows but seinfeld is a classic! i cant believe we wont see Jim Carrey clowning anymore.
gpt
Really?  I'm surprised because he normally does only comedies, and positive ones at that.
human
I wasnt sure if comedy was included in positive. It might be subversive in his crazy world. lol.
gpt
Yeah, not all comedy is positive.  Dark comedies ... weird stuff is out there.  But I would say most comedy is positive.  It's supposed to make you laugh, after all.
human
Yeah we sure need all of it. i just read a book about when guys i like letterman and leno were coming up. i wish i could remember the name.
gpt
*leans forward* You mean their history and working up to their top spots in late night?
human
*body relaxes* Yeah. Very early things about the clubs on the strip and the stand up days. they were nuts. a lot of drugs
gpt
*eyes downcast* My friend just lost his job because of drugs.  I don't think it's fair to have a culture that on the one hand praises comedians who have done drugs and then has other standards for everyone else.
human
That is true, as long as the drugs did not affect his work i do not have a problem.
gpt
*sighs* Well, I think they are a problem.  They can keep you from holding down a driving job, like bus driving.  But when everyone around you in a state like mine, smoking a little weed on the weekends, you feel left out when you've got a job like that.
human
*smiles* I agree, but the system can not be made personally for everyone. i am gonna go look for that radio site. i hope you find abbott and costello tonight. Peace
gpt
*leans slightly forward* I'll be looking for something new too, something I can share with my kids.
