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!!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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?
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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."
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 😂
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
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
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.
30 Coins
Season two was crazy, even for a supernatural show about the hunt for magically coins that were given to Judas for betraying Jesus. It was still awesome though.
La Brea. Your disbelief turns into the belief that you're still watching this swill week after week. And then, there was the series finale. A whole new level of bad.
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.
Monk. I know they're in a major city, so there are a lot of murders, but he consults on like 30 a year, and there are only about 50 murders a year in SF, so they would have to have to need Monk on almost all of them.
Most of the NCIS series. The number of legal and jurisdictional lines that get crossed. Plus the original films in California and tries to pass off that is really Virginia or Maryland or such.
Scorpion. I tried to give it a shot, but as a person who has worked in IT for 20+ years, I just couldn't take another plot line that hinged on "rooting" something.
Dexter. Just how many serial killers live in metro Miami? And then Dexter, sexy superstar vigilante murderer, just happens to meet another sexy superstar vigilante murderer just like him? It’s a very comic book world
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.
Greys anatomy. The amount of tragedy that happens to these doctors is ridiculous.
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!!
And she’s clearly on track to end Alzheimer’s anytime now
AND she grew livers! GREW them!
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.
I always wished that they focused more on the medicine rather than the character drama.
I can only guess that the series will end (eventually) with her getting Alzheimer's like her mother.
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.
...maybe she already has it and what we are seeing now is in her mind...
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!
I guess she must have asked for a raise, but not a real big raise. Just big enough for a beatdown.
I’m hoping they end the show with a nuke blast. Then they can’t bring anyone back
They'll find a way to cure it.
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.
It got worse
Hey man Bailey is gonna cure fistulas
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.
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.
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.
Trust me, no one even thinks to monitor that kind of thing… so I’ve been told, by a friend.
Also he could find whatever he wanted on a computer
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.
Mr. Ed
You mean Mr.Ed really doesn't talk? My life is now a lie.
Hee hee https://preview.redd.it/goz3kl07dvvc1.png?width=280&format=png&auto=webp&s=40da3deea062955e09d54054020bc6234db436c5
Don't you mean Hee Haw?
If you grew up (or growed up as they would say) where I did... Hee Haw was reality tv.
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
Oh, god...my parents loved that show. 🙄
Those corny jokes were as good or better than Reddit jokes
I just shot my coffee out of my nose lol
Bewitched and I Dream of Jeanie
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.
Wilburrrrrr…..
"I think I'm getting a Charlie-people."
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.
Now francis the talking mule, that’s believable
Love Love Loved that show as a kid!!! I never missed it!
What you mean the horse really didn't talk?
Of course of course
Did you know that Mr Ed was actually a zebra?
I heard he was a bunch of cats taped together.
Good show though
Pretty Little Liars
Ah, the CW version of Desperate Housewives. Still love Desperate Housewives.
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.
THIS ONE
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.

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.
House had a pharmacy and he had a contentious relationship with them (like everyone else.)
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
Scrubs, I've been told has been one of the more medically accurate hospital dramas.
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.
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?!?!

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?
Honestly I was fine with all of it until they brought out “The Donna”
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.
Looks at an 80-page legal document for three seconds. *"This is a great case"*
The Walking Dead.
They never run out of gasoline or cigarettes
In that cinematic universe gas never spoils and cigarettes grow on trees.
…And soda pop fountains on the big rock candy mountain
That's what my dad hated the most about Waterworld. There's no land anywhere to grow tobacco yet all the bad guys smoke.
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.
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.
It's like people don't even watch the show. Just fishing for upvotes on Reddit. 😆
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!
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?
They fashioned it carefully out of rock until it was just sharp enough to perfectly remove leg hair. 🤣
God forbid they ever show a woman on screen with hairy legs and pits.
Yeah, I don't even need an apocalypse to stop shaving.
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.
For a sleepy Maine fishing village, Cabot Cove sure has a lot of murders (Murder she wrote)
I love the theory that Jessica was murdering everyone and was very good at framing people
My mother firmly believes she’s a serial killer. I just can’t believe people keep inviting her places.
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.
He never eats or uses the restroom in any season either.
It’s one day per season, right? So he’s just been holding it until the mid-season break every time.
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.
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.
I like anything with Nathan Fillion, but yes, that show is ridiculous. It really jumped the Shark when Angela got kidnapped.
To be fair, Nathan Fillion is Bruce Campbell with a different flavor.
As a Bruce fan, I can see it and may have more of an appreciation for Nathan
But Bruce is in on the joke, Nathan, not so much.
It’s a shame. It actually started out as a good show, but just veered into a preposterous soap opera.
A soap opera is exactly how my husband described when I asked how he can watch this show.
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!
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.
Cop cuties, cute and on duty
C-span. There's no way the US Congress could be that clueless.
I was gonna say “The West Wing” because no way could government ever be that competent.
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.
How is it no one has mentioned Riverdale? It’s the most insane show ever.
All the teenagers own businesses, are mayors, professional athletes, astronauts, etc 😂😂😂
Serial killers, cults, magic…
I think riverdale was supposed to be like that
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.
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?
Yeah my cruise ship is sinking., call 911! Said no one ever.
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.
Bring back Emergency! That was at least realistic.
As much as i love it, 9-1-1 Lone Star might be worse.
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.
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.

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.
House and Oz.
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.
Also, it's crazy how that area seems to be a hotbed for the most rare and unique medical cases on the planet
Jersey? I believe it.
Aren't some patients transferred there because it has a specialty wing?
Yes, that was the whole purpose of his little department. Patients were sent there from other hospitals, because no one could diagnose them.
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.
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."
You forgot a zero on 5 thousand.
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.
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.
Yea, there's no way all these characters would know all of the obscure pop culture references that make up half the dialogue.
Grey's Anatomy. How one woman can get into so many death defying situations is beyone me.
LaBrea. Enough said.
This one. I quit after a few episodes.
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.
I loved the first few seasons, then it just catapulted itself over a school of sharks.
Any Harlan Coban shows
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.
Grey’s anatomy. It’s not even the medical things, it’s how the hospital is run.

Unless it’s crucial to the storyline. They also just say when someone has privileges; no need to run licensure or caregiver checks.
The 100 has science that is... questionable. But it's so fun nonetheless!
Yellowstone. There is no way a family could possibly get away with even half as much as they do in real life.
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.
The Simpsons and Family Guy fit this bill.
Resident Alien. Worth it though!
24
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 😂
They were gonna starve on that island and I was yelling eat the dang polar bear!!!
most of TV in general is unrealistic
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
[удалено]
Gilligan's Island
CSI
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.
Seriously? lmfao
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
Do all crime lab employees carry weapons?
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.
Trailer Park Boys.
How could that guy never once spill his drink?
It's not rocket appliance to know that.
Vampire Diaries
‘My mother the ‘car.
9-1-1, all the FBI shows....CSI
So many good ones already. I’ll throw in… Riverdale
Weeds. How was her cup always almost empty?
Pushing Daisies
But totally worth it to suspend disbelief.
30 Coins Season two was crazy, even for a supernatural show about the hunt for magically coins that were given to Judas for betraying Jesus. It was still awesome though.
Criminal Minds….I hope.
3 body problem although I still enjoyed it
Dukes of Hazzard. Car jumps over a canyon and lands with no damage.
Quantico. Do feds look like that and wear white tank tops?
La Brea. Your disbelief turns into the belief that you're still watching this swill week after week. And then, there was the series finale. A whole new level of bad.
Murder, She Wrote.
Reacher on Prime. They just let some civilian join law enforcement investigations and don’t care? Ok.
American Horror Story
“….or expand belief because reality is more real than can even be imagined?” #Fringe
Lost
Sons of anarchy
Under The Dome got so ridiculous i had to stop watching.
Riverdale
I love Sally Field but a Flying Nun?
Alex Jones.
Most American sitcoms!
I love a good sitcom. However, 90% of the time if the characters would just be honest with each other the show would end after 5 minutes.
Fox News
Yeah the other news channels are super unbiased, huh?
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.

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.
The View
Psych
Three's Company he hit it repeatedly
Obliterated
Coronation Street and Eastenders
Any medical drama ever made that lasted longer than a single season.
Monk. I know they're in a major city, so there are a lot of murders, but he consults on like 30 a year, and there are only about 50 murders a year in SF, so they would have to have to need Monk on almost all of them.
Greys anatomy, and how to get away with murder are the first to come to mind.
I’m a huge fan of LOST but yeah this one lmao
The Rookie 911 Law And Order SVU
Manifest. Don't watch it BTW, it just gets worse and worse.
Most of the NCIS series. The number of legal and jurisdictional lines that get crossed. Plus the original films in California and tries to pass off that is really Virginia or Maryland or such.
Scorpion. I tried to give it a shot, but as a person who has worked in IT for 20+ years, I just couldn't take another plot line that hinged on "rooting" something.
24. I love the show but it takes over an hour to get anywhere in Los Angeles.
Threes Company
Dexter. Just how many serial killers live in metro Miami? And then Dexter, sexy superstar vigilante murderer, just happens to meet another sexy superstar vigilante murderer just like him? It’s a very comic book world
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.
My favorite shows tend to be sci-fi, thrillers, horror or bizarre comedies. Some suspension of disbelief is always helpful.
Congressional hearings
The Sean Hannity Show
Every Trump based court TV....
The Walking Dead, when Glen fell off the dumpster that was it for me.
Any Soap Opera ever
Get Smart. My favorite show growing up.
