Watching Bosch
Through out the series Bosch seems to be at the centre of all the investigations that go through Hollywood homicide. It’s like he has a constant media presence..
At the start of the fifth season .. he is doing undercover work... the most recognisable cop in L.A going f***ing undercover!

Another Hollywood invention, construction workers catcalling women as they walk by a construction site. I read about a construction worker in the UK , he was on cloud 9 cuz Raquel Welch had passed him and smiled to him "So, uh, how was your golf game?" I'm sure Adam West wouldve come up with some innuendo with that comment

Awkward misunderstandings that could be resolved easily if the characters in question simply sat down and had a conversation.

Awkward misunderstandings that could be resolved easily if the characters in question simply sat down and had a conversation. Would literally prevent almost 100% of wrestling tag team breakups. Like when one guy accidentally hits his partner due to an opponent ducking or pulling them in front of them, and they lose. The partner that gets hit and/or gets pinned gets all pissed at his partner and walks out. Like, you can go watch the tape. It was an accident. Are you blind or stupid?

Doctor Who -- the world has had no end of alien invasions, a giant spider thing on Big Ben and f*** knows what else, but in one episode during, i think, Tennant's run, a guy claims there's aliens and he's dismissed as a crank. Also Buffy--bodies keep turning up, drained of blood, fang marks in their throat, there's empty graves at the cemetery every night and nobody thinks "maybe Vampires". I mean, do they think the butler did it? In Buffy's case they actually justified it; the hellmouth below Sunnydale actually causes people not to notice all the murders. Mind I think Buffy is one of the only shows to explain it. And in the first 3 seasons, The Mayor was in charge, and was having everything covered up. A few knew and helped him, so people didn't really question it. In season 4 they brought in The Initiative, letting us know at the US government knew about it all, and was covering it up as well. So it was always being covered up. Buffy's classmates knew that something was rotten in the state of Sunnydale.

Teenagers solving crimes and mysteries while somehow being able to juggle school, after-school activities and work. And of course they look 25. The stress from having to do all that at once caused them to age prematurely

So here's one specific to one television show that's been bothering me. I really liked Burn Notice (although I feel it went about two seasons too long), but Gabrielle Anwar (Fiona) was already in her late 30's when the show started and north of 40 for a good chunk of its run. Now Anwar looked great for her age, but one of the main conceits of the show was that she could walk into a bar, club or any other location of social gathering and immediately be able to seduce the mark. Guys who have any number of 20-something girls with loose morals and notable physical enhancements to their bodies hanging off their every word, and they're passing all them up for a scrawny middle-aged woman? None of them are ever suspicious about her at all, or just find the whole cougar thing sad.

Happens in movies also...
Characters A & B are having a convo, say in a car. B asks A a question, the scene cuts to them at their destination, with the convo not missing a beat.
Great question! Now let me park the car, we’ll walk to the restaurant, get seated, order drinks, wait for the drinks for arrive, and then i’ll give you my answer.

I guess it doesn't happen in real life, but whenever somebody has a flashlight, they will ALWAYS shine it right into the camera. Car headlights too. They will always pull up so the light is right in your face.
I never understood this in movies and tv shows. Why are you temporarily blinding the audience?

High Schoolers making out in the hallway. Sure, I can see hugging, but when I was in High School I saw no full-on smooching among any couples.

Law and Order (usually SVU), a body is found who they can't identify, but it just happens to have a metal body part with a traceable ID number. How lucky!

High schools have elaborate social hierarchies and soap opera level dramas and relationships involving betrayals, power plays and blackmail.
In real life, you have a few friends, a few casual aquaintences and the rest of the school you barely know or acknowledge.

People being able to revive a dead person by crying and banging on their chest a few times.
Sex where both people orgasm within a couple of minutes and at the same time.
Nightclubs where every single person on the dance floor is just dancing and not singing along to the music.

People always wearing shoes in the house. Who wakes up, knowing they’ll be home all day, and puts shoes on?

About half of the shit that House gets away wi-- House not getting fired on about 147 different occasions. Like, yes...he's an awesome doctor and he brings in grant money or whatever. The hospital would have been sued into the stone age on a weekly basis "You clearly practice while high as a kite on viccodin and constantly violate sexual harassment as well as racial discrimination practices....but you're a damn fine doctor! *shrugs*" Oh. Yeah, what he said.
