Hi, do you like television?
gpt
I like it, some shows more than others.  How about you?
human
Yes, I do. I usually enjoy watching talent shows/game shows/competition shows such as Amazing Race or World of Dance. I actually used to have Netflix (at least until the prices got too high). Do you have Netflix?
gpt
No, same here with Netflix.  Too much for the little I watch.  I do have that fireplace video on a flashdrive though haha
human
Yeah, that's cool. Do you enjoy watching the Simpsons? I heard that there's only one episode of the show where bart neither appears, nor is mentioned, which considering that it's past 20 seasons is quite an accomplishment.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* I am actually shocked he missed one.  I am sure homer is in them all.
human
Yeah, that's quite a feat! I also heard that when south park aired its family guy episode finale the producers received flowers from the simpsons crew. That was really nice of them.
gpt
maybe homer delivered them, he had 188 jobs
human
*eyes brighten* That could very well be haha. Anyways, did you know that there's over 750 episodes of Pokemon? That's about 50 episodes a year for 16 years straight.
gpt
*leans slightly forward* That is crazy.  It would break my tele.
human
Yeah, for sure! It's kind of funny that there were so many episodes (I used to play the game myself), but anyways on a different note did you know that Ronald reagan was once rejected for a movie role because an entertainment executive didn't think he had "that presidential look". Ironic, huh?
gpt
That is crazy.  Did you know the E in chuck E stands for entertainment?
human
No, I didn't. That's quite interesting. It's kind of funny because entertainment has evolved a lot. Did you know that Bill Nye "the science guy" got his break in entertainment by winning a steve martin lookalike contest?
gpt
*eyes widen* Speaking of twins, the olsens are billionaires due to their entertainment co.
human
Wow, that's quite interesting! I used to enjoy watching "Full House", so it's good to see how far they've come since then. Speaking of money though, did you know that Blockbuster declined several offers to buy netflix for $50 million. Netflix is now worth $2 billion. I would have chosen differently.
gpt
Me too.  I wonder if Hollywood Video could have bought them?
human
Maybe, but ironically enough it was after racking up a $40 late fee on a vhs copy of apollo 13 that reed hastings was inspired to start netflix. Despite their prices, I have to agree it's the smartest method, because customers don't have to drive anywhere.
gpt
*leans forward* Yeah it sucked to have to drive to pick up and bring back DVDs.  Good thing its all streaming now.
human
Yeah, for sure! It's kind of funny, because netflix and youtube together make up half of peak internet traffic in north america.
gpt
Thats amazing.  Good thing they have 150 100% movies
