Like PP said, the shockingly short amount of time it takes to get around the DC region (including back and forth to NYC). Also, when the season doesn’t match the storyline: green leaves on the trees right before/after the general election. And then little things like a SOTU in an inaugural year. And overly simplified policy solutions to the world’s problems that apparently everyone just agrees with. |
Everyone wears shoes in the house: drives me nuts (we’re a shoes off house)
seconding the full sit down breakfast before school and work: who does that??? never repeating outfits: grrrr, at least reuse, remix items! such waste and really reinforces the desire for fast fashion bedrooms are HUGE: The only bedroom that seemed a normal size was the Brady boys, made total sense for Greg to move to the attic Wow, never realized how many pet peeves I have, lol! |
Doesn’t really bother me, but I’ve seen shows where young kids are like props in the background. Toddlers never require any checking on, they just sit quietly while the main characters focus on whatever they’re doing. |
Shoes in the house isn’t unrealistic, though…you just don’t do it at your house. |
The size of the apartments |
Heh but that doesn't mean it's unrealistic, it just doesn't work for you. I find it unrealistic that people work SO MUCH on TV - don't any of them have stuff outside of work they want to do? Don't any of them have pets to take care of? They're just always working! Looks terrible. |
THIS - also with anything that has to do with teachers and schools. |
I give abbot credit for at least mentioning that classes need coverage. |
It is unrealistic that everyone wears shoes all the time. Most families I interact with are shoes off in the house houses. |
On full scholarship, even if characters are UMC. Adding the 555 phone exchange (I know why they do it but it still irks me) and wives having long conversations with husbands while lotioning their arms before bed. |
Yes! Paul Walker in “Into the Blue”. Totally ridiculous. |
but the family on roseanne is trapped in a cycle of generational poverty, they can't afford to pay their mortgages, they certainly aren't investing in "quality" clothing Here's an unrealistic aspect of the conners--I am confused by the high school son's "trying to get a scholarship so he can go to college" plotline. Presumably the family is very poor, so wouldn't they qualify for the Illinois Commitment at a place like UIUC where he'd gt free tuition and fees for four years because his family earns less than 67k a year? https://osfa.illinois.edu/illinois-commitment/ |
When high schoolers talk with incredible intelligence and vocabulary (ie Dawson's creek)
When time to travel from one coast or state to another just doesn't compute (ie This is Us) When babies sort of disappear when they are not needed (ie Emma in Friends) |
When Rory and Lorelei exclusively eat burgers and pancakes and don't exercise and remain super super skinny. |
That’s great. It’s still not unrealistic for people to wear shoes in their homes. |
