my father is not, shall we say, culturally inclined...outside of country music, oldies rock, and a few tv shows he has no clue about the entertainment world

the only time i ever recall him going to the theater was to see o brother where art thou...i'm also not sure he's ever read a book

when my mom watched a made for tv movie on the hallmark channel he would remark "that was a good show"

If he's referring to movies as shows, he should be referring to tv shows as programs.
