Long Conversation 2:

Woman: Are you watching any good shows these days?

Man: Actually, yes. Im watching a great satire called Frankie. I think youd like it.

Woman: Really? Whats it about?

Man: Its about a real guy named Frankie. He is a famous comedian in New York and shows a mixture of comedy and drama loosely depicting his life.

Woman: Im sorry, do you mean to say, its a real-life series about a real person? Its non-fiction, isnt it?

Man: No … Not really, no. Its fiction, as what happens in every episode is made up. However the lead role is a comedian by the name of Frankie, and he plays himself. So Frankie in both real life and in the TV show lives in New York City, is a comic, is divorced, and has two little daughters. All those things are true, but aside from him, all his friends and family are played by actors. And the plots and the events that take place are also invented.

Woman: Oh, I think I see now. That sounds like a very original concept.

Man: Yes, it is. In fact, the whole show is written, directed, edited and produced by him, and is very funny and has won many awards.

Woman: Thats cool. I will try to download it. Im watching a comedy called The Big Bang Theory. Its a huge hit around the world.

Man: Oh yes. Ive heard of it, but never actually watched it.

Woman: Well, then you should check it out. Its also very funny. Its about four male scientists and a female waitress. The men are very socially awkward but very bright. And this is contrasted by the ladys social skills and common sense. The show has been running for over ten years, and some of the actors are practically global super stars. Now that they are such famous celebrities.
