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"

Does he refer to movies as shows when he sees them at the theatre?

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