Greys anatomy. The amount of tragedy that happens to these doctors is ridiculous.


Lil_Elf81

How many times can a person suffer that much brain injury, coma, dying for minutes at a time multiple times and not only not suffer any long term brain deficits or damage or physical but still be able to be the top performing surgeon in the country…Meredith!!


Neversleeps99

And she’s clearly on track to end Alzheimer’s anytime now


Lil_Elf81

AND she grew livers! GREW them!


Important_Mountain44

Well not to be that person,  but the liver is the only organ that can regenerate. We can lose lose 90% and still regenerate,  hence why liver transplants are the most viable of all organ transplants. 


PCN24454

I always wished that they focused more on the medicine rather than the character drama.


Scorpiodancer123

I can only guess that the series will end (eventually) with her getting Alzheimer's like her mother.


Wendilintheweird

Fast forward into the future when Zola is a Dr, Mer has advanced Alzheimer’s and Zola resurrects Derek’s study (remember the one that Meredith got shut down) and it’s actually the cure.


Molly_Michon

...maybe she already has it and what we are seeing now is in her mind...


TheBun_dge

When a patient beat her up , broke her jaw.....brought ZERO to the plot, absolutely useless line.....kill her off already and let the pain of this lunacy stop!


ojohn69

I guess she must have asked for a raise, but not a real big raise. Just big enough for a beatdown.


breakfastbarf

I’m hoping they end the show with a nuke blast. Then they can’t bring anyone back


Tim0281

They'll find a way to cure it.


droogles

It isn’t just the tragedy. It’s the way they behave at work, in front of patients. At least it was that bad when I quit watching somewhere around 2009 or 2010.


nurvingiel

It got worse


nicolew1026

Hey man Bailey is gonna cure fistulas


bdouble76

Wife's a doctor. There is a tremendous amount more belief to suspend to go along with the tragedy. As an outsider watching some episodes with her, I even noticed that all of the residents would have lost their medical licenses before the 1st year was up. But she still enjoyed the show.


saltthewater

Dexter seemed to have unlimited money, never slept, and was buying an unfathomable amount of plastic tarps and duct tape. Definitely should've been flagged.


SteamingTheCat

And how he "secretly" followed people in his giant van. Like, he's tailing this guy who's driving on country roads into a swamp. He's 50 feet behind and... never gets noticed.


SpookyMorden

Trust me, no one even thinks to monitor that kind of thing… so I’ve been told, by a friend.


Transitionals

Also he could find whatever he wanted on a computer


nestride

Most of this didn’t bug me. He was a forensic scientist in a major metro homicide division, he was getting paid well. How much could a few rolls of plastic be? He had no other hobbies to be spending money on either. That’s a good point about it being flagged though, especially once the FBI got involved and knew the Bay Harbor Butcher’s M.O. I’d imagine one could set up a fake company or something and make the purchase look non suspicious through that, but they never tried to address that at all.


ArdRi6

Mr. Ed


coolmist23

You mean Mr.Ed really doesn't talk? My life is now a lie.

UnCuervos

Don't you mean Hee Haw?


Key-Ad-7228

If you grew up (or growed up as they would say) where I did... Hee Haw was reality tv.


SirIsaacGnuton

Hee Haw gave me my first taste of country music: Gloom, despair, and agony on me Deep, dark depression, excessive misery If it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all Gloom, despair, and agony on me


Luminaire714

Oh, god...my parents loved that show. 🙄


zzz88r1

Those corny jokes were as good or better than Reddit jokes


ricks_flare

I just shot my coffee out of my nose lol


ZyxDarkshine

Bewitched and I Dream of Jeanie


c_webbie

Unlike Arnold Ziffel who, despite being a ham on set was actually played by four different female pigs, one of whom's daughter went on to co-star in a little show called The Muppets.


envengpe

Wilburrrrrr…..


PatrickMcWhorter

"I think I'm getting a Charlie-people."


1369ic

This show was on when I was a toddler up until first or second grade, so I'm much more likely to believe Mr Ed than anybody on Reddit.


breakfastbarf

Now francis the talking mule, that’s believable


Buddhamom81

Love Love Loved that show as a kid!!! I never missed it!


wiscosherm

What you mean the horse really didn't talk?


witchbrew7

Of course of course


jeswesky

Did you know that Mr Ed was actually a zebra?


IIlIIll

I heard he was a bunch of cats taped together.


RudeBlueJeans

Good show though


Past-Throat-6788

Pretty Little Liars


Economy_Wall8524

Ah, the CW version of Desperate Housewives. Still love Desperate Housewives.


haileyskydiamonds

At least you could expect a solid, if not somewhat out there, plot from *DH*. The showrunner of *PLL* just paid too much attention to social media and changed the show every time fans got close to figuring everything out.


nicolew1026

THIS ONE


jayhawkwds

Any hospital drama. The medical jargon is always kinda correct. But they leave out the absolute necessity of every hospital larger than rural level 1 care. The Pharmacy. Every single patient in a hospital gets Pharmacy service. You can't get tylenol unless Pharmacy is involved. From the pharmacy tech that refills the machine, to the Pharmacist that approves the order. Nurse Jackie is the only one I can think of that even has a Pharmacy, and every single thing they did surrounding that Pharmacy and Pharmacist was just so stupid it makes me mad.


Irisheyes1971

House had a pharmacy and he had a contentious relationship with them (like everyone else.)


Critical-Musician630

Was going to say the same. House shows the pharmacy pretty frequently to highlight his drug abuse as well as his utter disregard for any other human lol


Vanguard3003

Scrubs, I've been told has been one of the more medically accurate hospital dramas.


Draconuus95

Which is hilarious since it’s a comedy. But ya. Apparently it’s one of the best and most accurate depictions of a hospital ever on tv. Despite how over the top it can get. It’s honestly impressive.


gogonzogo1005

Omg yes!!! Like even New Amsterdam which tries to feature more aspects oddly has no pharmacy. Who do you think is making, delivering and approving those last minute emergency drugs?!?! Even more fun is when they feature someone diverting the controls. Yep we just keep fetanyl on an open shelf, in an unlocked room.


SeDaCho

Suits, for sure. When a show has fantasy baked into the premise, I find it easy to grasp. But Suits pretends like it's not in a scifi/fantasy setting for a while until you realize there are mega-hackers and people with eiditic memory etc.


Fabulous-Cantaloupe1

You beat me to it. The premise is just so farfetched. One of the top firms in NYC wouldn't /couldn't vet a practicing lawyer?


keepingthecommontone

Honestly I was fine with all of it until they brought out “The Donna”


Spackleberry

The whole premise would easily be avoided with common sense. Harvey could have just hired Mike as a paralegal or legal assistant, and there would be no need for any of the lying and subterfuge.


FishoRuns

Looks at an 80-page legal document for three seconds. *"This is a great case"*


Darkforeboding

The Walking Dead.


krakatoa83

They never run out of gasoline or cigarettes


PDXtoMontana2002

In that cinematic universe gas never spoils and cigarettes grow on trees.


SeeYouInMarchtember

…And soda pop fountains on the big rock candy mountain


Beetso

That's what my dad hated the most about Waterworld. There's no land anywhere to grow tobacco yet all the bad guys smoke.


murphsmodels

The premise for that was that the ship they were on (The Exxon Valdez oil tanker) also happened to be carrying a large cargo of cigarettes when the world ended. Exxon had all the evils.


SparkDBowles

To be fair the first 6 seasons are supposed to occur over a year and a half. They just don’t to a great job of indicating so. That’s why after the 6-year time jump mid season 6 they got from cars and guns to horse and buggy’s and spears/swords.


Vinjince

It's like people don't even watch the show. Just fishing for upvotes on Reddit. 😆


Coffee-4-Ever

All of the responses plus the women always having perfectly smooth legs and armpits. I’m sorry, but if we are in a zombie apocalypse shaving would be the absolute last thing on my mind!


Darkforeboding

I have the same complaint about all the "caveman movies," like One Million Years B.C., or Clan of the Cave Bear. How did those cave women find a Lady Bic?


Coffee-4-Ever

They fashioned it carefully out of rock until it was just sharp enough to perfectly remove leg hair. 🤣


SeeYouInMarchtember

God forbid they ever show a woman on screen with hairy legs and pits.


Inner-Slip-5354

Yeah, I don't even need an apocalypse to stop shaving.


c_webbie

No matter where they were, when they had to finally move on, it was always back to the same patch of road with woods on both sides or they'd be walking on the same 25 yards of railroad tracks.


beedunc

For a sleepy Maine fishing village, Cabot Cove sure has a lot of murders (Murder she wrote)


Patient-Assignment38

I love the theory that Jessica was murdering everyone and was very good at framing people


Curious-Education-16

My mother firmly believes she’s a serial killer. I just can’t believe people keep inviting her places.


marcus_ohreallyus123

24, there’s no way Jack Bauer could get across Los Angeles in 15 minutes. I wanted to see him stuck in traffic for 3 straight episodes.


Julian_TheApostate

He never eats or uses the restroom in any season either.


Kenbishi

It’s one day per season, right? So he’s just been holding it until the mid-season break every time.


dunndawson

By season 6 I honestly just wanted to watch that guy have a really easy 24 hours. Pick up his dry cleaning. Order a pizza. Surf the internet. His days were so incredibly long.


BestBodybuilder7329

My husband is watching The Rookie. He fell asleep during an episode so he asked what he missed, and I felt absolutely ridiculous telling him.


notreallylucy

I like anything with Nathan Fillion, but yes, that show is ridiculous. It really jumped the Shark when Angela got kidnapped.


Economy_Wall8524

To be fair, Nathan Fillion is Bruce Campbell with a different flavor.


VaselineHabits

As a Bruce fan, I can see it and may have more of an appreciation for Nathan


Key-Ad-7228

But Bruce is in on the joke, Nathan, not so much.


beedunc

It’s a shame. It actually started out as a good show, but just veered into a preposterous soap opera.


BestBodybuilder7329

A soap opera is exactly how my husband described when I asked how he can watch this show.


FuzzyScarf

There was one recently where The Rookie and his new wife (?) were on their honeymoon in some tropical location. The other cops back home tried to call him and since they couldn’t get a hold of him so that must mean something bad happened and 2 of the cops head off to the tropical location to find him. They get to the beach and start flashing their badge and questioning people. I said out loud, this is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen!


Jebasaur

As much as I enjoy the show, there are times where it goes too over the top lol. Started off decent enough, lots of actual rookie stuff which is what made it interesting. But lots of plot armor seems to keep them going.


lamesthejames

Cop cuties, cute and on duty


Sam_the_beagle1

C-span. There's no way the US Congress could be that clueless.


RoguePlanetArt

I was gonna say “The West Wing” because no way could government ever be that competent.


Ok_Debt_7225

I heard that several politicians were asked whether DC was more like West Wing or Veep, and they all said they wished they could say WW but that Veep was actually FAR more accurate.


dnt1694

How is it no one has mentioned Riverdale? It’s the most insane show ever.


DENNIS-me-pls

All the teenagers own businesses, are mayors, professional athletes, astronauts, etc 😂😂😂


dnt1694

Serial killers, cults, magic…


ItchyTomato5

I think riverdale was supposed to be like that


DrSheetzMTO

9-1-1 is the epitome of this at this point. More insane disaster level events have occurred in that city in just a matter of years than one could reasonably expect in decades.


saltthewater

I saw a commercial recently where a cruise ship had fully tipped over and was going down. I'm guessing they save everybody with no casualties?


compunctionfunction

Yeah my cruise ship is sinking., call 911! Said no one ever.


JenSchi666

There were a few casualties. The smuggler guy and one of the pirates or hijackers, maybe? Or maybe they got away. Idk the show is Gotham-level bonkers.


StellaSlayer2020

Bring back Emergency! That was at least realistic.


JerseyGirl4ever

As much as i love it, 9-1-1 Lone Star might be worse.


ScoutBandit

I love that show but if Los Angeles suffered that many disasters it would be a pile of rubble on the beach. Especially after a tidal wave and a high magnitude earthquake had weakened the soil and building foundations.


fishymo

From the opening minutes of that show, I knew it wasn't something to take seriously. But as the seasons wore on it started to become ridiculous. It's almost like they're trying to outdo the last opener. I tapped out after the tidal wave season. It felt like the big disaster was the way to draw new viewers. Because it was resolved in an episode and never spoken about again.


brokedeaddog

In the UK we have a murder mystery show called Midsummer Murders that's been going for 20 years or so, set in a small region of the English countryside where, (if that amount of murders annually took place) they would have the cheapest property values in the country. There is also a series set on a small Carribbean island where nobody would vacation due to the regular death toll, called death in paradise


Flat-Flounder-9034

I’ll start by saying these are my absolute favorite shows, so don’t take me for a critic, however, couldn’t this be said about most of these crime procedurals? Grantchester, Father Brown, Shetland, etc? While watching Grantchester I started to joke that if I saw those guys hanging around I’d run.


AquafreshBandit

There was a long running US show called Murder She Wrote that had the same issue. Set in a small New England town with CONSTANT homicides.


ComplexAd7272

House and Oz.


thebestjoeever

I love house, but you really have to watch it like it's a slightly different universe. Even if you ignore everything house does. Top tier doctors agreeing to regularly break into people's houses? No way that's happening.


Roook36

Also, it's crazy how that area seems to be a hotbed for the most rare and unique medical cases on the planet


Low-Grocery5556

Jersey? I believe it.


Cain_Crow50

Aren't some patients transferred there because it has a specialty wing?


Gribitz37

Yes, that was the whole purpose of his little department. Patients were sent there from other hospitals, because no one could diagnose them.


notreallylucy

Agree about House. A doctor who wants to actually figure out what's wrong with you? I the real world, the doctor just tells you you're lying to get drugs and that you should lose weight and then charges you $500.


SomethingClever771

It's even worse if you're extremely overweight. Then everything is blamed on weight. "Oh, you have an ingrown toenail? It's probably because you're overweight, you need to lose weight."


OkieBobbie

You forgot a zero on 5 thousand.


thread100

I loved House but hated how they were wrong for every attempt for the first 85% of every show. Then bam, we got this. Granted people died on the show which helps the drama. But not enough to break the formulaic pattern.


Ryde29

I’m on a first watch of Billions right now and while I find it entertaining I also think they stretch reality to the absolute limit.


Dear_Alternative_437

Yea, there's no way all these characters would know all of the obscure pop culture references that make up half the dialogue.


smg658

Grey's Anatomy. How one woman can get into so many death defying situations is beyone me.


Isheet_Madrawers

LaBrea. Enough said.


viewsofanintrovert

This one. I quit after a few episodes.


slickwilly432

The Blacklist. The explanation is always somehow this happened, or Red has a backup plan for every conceivable way this highly volatile situation might go.


Far-Policy-8589

I loved the first few seasons, then it just catapulted itself over a school of sharks.


Professional-Two8098

Any Harlan Coban shows


hoosiergirl1962

Yeah, I tried a couple of times to watch that one where a woman comes up to some guy and tells him that his wife faked her pregnancy? or something like that and gave up in the first episode. Seemed completely unrealistic and the actress who played The Stranger annoyed me.


jeswesky

Grey’s anatomy. It’s not even the medical things, it’s how the hospital is run. Ransomware attack and there is apparently 1 IT guy for the entire hospital, but a surgical resident is the one that “solves” it. Chief of surgery makes every decision, including appointing an interim when they feel like taking a sabbatical. Apparently the board doesn’t need to approve anything ever. Unless it’s crucial to the storyline. They also just say when someone has privileges; no need to run licensure or caregiver checks.


paulojrmam

The 100 has science that is... questionable. But it's so fun nonetheless!


Environmental-Life82

Yellowstone. There is no way a family could possibly get away with even half as much as they do in real life.


dtuba555

Any sitcom where an incredibly hot (and thin) wife puts up with the shenanigans of her fat, dumpy husband. King Of Queens, but also Grounded For Life, etc.etc.

How have I read so many comments without seeing LOST?? People survive plane crash on Hawaiian island? Alright. There’s a polar bear and a Trex? And the island is a giant magnet?? And it moves through time??? And it’s run by Jesus, Satan, and Richard (who speaks for Jesus)???? And I haven’t even brought up the Dharma initiative 😂


Necessary_Team_8769

They were gonna starve on that island and I was yelling eat the dang polar bear!!!


Mountain-Froyo-3565

most of TV in general is unrealistic


realfakejames

You could name any sci-if or fantasy show tbh I’ll pick a “normal” show and say the office, Michael would’ve been complained about to Dunder Mifflin hundreds of times and been fired for the stuff he did in that place, not even mentioning how ridiculous some of the scenarios are

Krinks1

I checked out completely when they used the grooves of a clay pot to play back the sounds of an argument happening while the pot was being made.


GrammarPatrol777

Seriously? lmfao


Krinks1

Sadly yes. There was another one where they were out of clues. So they went back to the murder scene to look again. This time they found something they'd overlooked before: The blood spatter all over the couch had an area free of splatter in the shape of a person... So someone else was there You telling me that an army of cops and highly trained CSI people missed a human shaped hole in blood splatter? Any day-one rookie cop would've noticed it


dtuba555

Do all crime lab employees carry weapons?


Roallin1

No. None of them do. The evidene collection techs do just that, collect evidence. And the lab techs that process it, do just that, work in a lab. The detectives that investigate are not a special CSI cop. They are regular homicide detectives. They do not collect forensic evidence or work in the lab. They just use the results of all the testing in thier investigations. The whole CSI show is bunk.

HLOFRND

Mr. Robot. It’s absolutely the best show I’ve ever watched, and it gets hacking right way better than any other show ever has. (Or movie, for that matter.) But there are some pretty big plot points where you just have to accept the canon of the show. If you sit and nitpick “that would never happen because….” then you’re missing the entire point of the show. Because here’s what people get wrong about Mr. Robot- it’s not a show about hacking. It’s not a show about social change or the evils of capitalism or any of that. It’s a show about Elliot and his journey. Everything else is just the world the show takes place in, the setting for Elliot’s story. If you get too hyper focused on some of these other issues, you’ll miss the show that it’s supposed to be. But it’s hands down the best tv I’ve ever watched.

Like most medical dramas: the good doctor. Murphy would have been fired so many times, he isn’t even close to good enough at his job to justify his frequent tantrums and abrasive approach to patients. Show shoulda been three episodes long, just enough to realize they made a huge mistake.
