“Tired of turning on television talk shows and hearing about nothing but cheating spouses and oil wrestling? Cynthia Cristilli is too, and she’s taken the matter into her own hands. On “Talking Back” which airs at 6:30 p.m. Saturday on KGO-Channel 7, topical subjects are acted out in front of a live studio audience. But then the action stops and audience members ask questions of the actors, who remain in character when they answer.”
