Monroe on Too Close for Comfort way back in the 80s. Nobody even addressed his sexuality directly. And he was the real star of the show. |
I grew up in Alabama and bad southern accents in movies/tv really irk me. |
High school kids in tv shows always go to the best colleges. |
Agree! The Americans was really great about that--using Russian speaking actors. And having the American leads almost never speaking it! |
A driving scene where the driver looks at the passenger while speaking, taking his/her/their (don't forget that!) eyes off the road for ridiculous amounts of time. They would have seriously run off the road! |
Literally anything in any medical drama. I just cannot. I stopped watching Greys Anatomy when they closed the emergency room to host a prom, and during this prom Izzy went upstairs to visit her boyfriend/ husband with the heart issue and he has just died in bed, with no nurses or doctors or code blues, because they were all downstairs at prom apparently . In the CLOSED EMERGENCY ROOMz |
The absence of clutter in most people’s homes.
The really nice neighborhoods most people live in. NYC apartments — all of them. Kids living in totally walkable neighborhoods and able to roam at will at very young ages. |
Hahaha to this I will add anything legal, though I guess it probably goes for any profession. Like how in the West Wing the same 5 people do all the jobs, including giving themselves legal advice. (I guess that presaged the Jared Kushner era fairly accurately, but it's bizarre for any other real administration.) |
How people almost never finish a meal or take more than a bite or two. |
How quickly legal cases are wrapped up. |
No toilets |
People walk in from a day out and head to the kitchen to eat or cook and never wash their hands.
This has bothered me since I was a young kid. The first thing we do is wash our hands when we come home. |
How people end phone conversations abruptly. There’s never a goodbye, talk to you later, etc., - they just hang up. |
They seemingly never repeat outfits. Ever.
Roseanne was perhaps the first and only show where people wore outfits more than once. |
I'm always yelling at them to keep their eyes on the road! Lack of traffic. That it's always seamless to get from like downtown DC to rural Virginia in 15 minutes. (Lookin at you, Bones.) |
