玛吉：我正在看《X档案》。这是这一季的最后一集，我不想错过。
沙伦：你可以把它录下来，等到明天再看啊。看录影带的好处就是看到广告的时候你可以快进。
玛吉：好吧！拿去！
沙伦：你知道吗？布拉德·皮特在今晚这一集会出现哦！他的客串演出一定很有趣。
玛吉：你不觉得情景喜剧放了太多噱头笑声吗？每隔五分钟就听到一阵傻笑声。
沙伦：《老友记》可不是马马虎虎的喜剧，它可是广受好评，又排在黄金时段的节目。
玛吉：我不是说《老友记》不好，我只是很厌烦情景喜剧。好多电视台都在播情景喜剧，一个频道接着一个频道。
沙伦：所以，由观众报名参加演出的电视节目最近才会变得那么受欢迎。
玛吉：是的，我同意你的说法！
沙伦：那你最喜欢哪一个观众报名参加演出的电视节目呢？
玛吉：《我要活下去》是我最喜欢的。
