I agree.

House was the most unrealistic…although we could use a Dr. House consult service!


House totally did a disservice to nurses.

I think ER was pretty spot on in the beginning.

Six Feet Under got morticians pretty well.

Dexter did serial killers right!

I’m a CPA, and The Accountant with Ben Affleck got it pretty right!
JK! I can’t remember if I even saw the whole thing. But I was excited when I first heard of the movie title!

That always bugged me! They would always have these leisurely lunches, or even go out for a mani/pedi - remember that one? Crazy. But I loved the show.


I tried to like this show. I made it to the mani/pedi episode and bailed. I used to work in a city school district with similarities to Abbot elementary. I barely left my classroom, no exaggeration.

Any show or movie depicting the CIA is always going to be unrealistic.

My lawyer friends tell me the judge intimidation in My Cousin Vinny was spot on for the first time a litigator enters the court room.
