A-Team being the happy never kill merc team.. Being at no time did they ever just full on merc up and "Arrrrggg I pity the fool!!! [crack, breaks guys neck]. etc etc.. How many times can you shoot at but never hit anyone? How many times can you get shot at but never be hit? How can BA blend in ANYWHERE with 500 pounds of gold plate, a mohawk etc etc.. Of course as a kid I had no issue with any of that..
Alias.. Love the show but Dixion going from merc on the "bad guy team" to head of a CIA unit!!? That just bugs me, make him a big gun there but top gun!? Never would happen, ever.. He would not even be hired..
Fastlane/Miami Vice - Liked both of those shows but you can't really go undercover, in one town, all the time, looking/driving/acting as they all did and just stay under cover.. Of course again, as a kid, never had an issue with that as far as Miami Vice goes.. Then as an adult I was willing to over look Tiff being the head cop of a crack under cover unit at only 26 being she is fine!
Hulk.. Again, as a kid, no issue.. but now it's always "Beat him down, throw him over the bar.. arrrggggggg Smash!!!!!!!!!!!" or throw him over the box or or or but always "out of sight".. never just slamming a hand in the car door and he rages up and smashed up a kmart or getting pissed waiting in line behind some jerk when renting a car "Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggg!!!!"
Dukes of Hazard for the reasons others mentioned already but also for the fact that if you land and I SEE the frame on the car bend, odds are, yeah not just going to be "ok" and drive off.. heh

I love the first two shows but
McGyver - I mean come on. Bombs out of buttons and scotch tape
CSI - 98% of the show(techniques and tools) is hollywood fiction, not to mention I cringe everytime they take a grainy camera shot from 50 ft away and zoom in - in perfect clarity BTW, to reveal the killer or name on a piece of clothing, or some miniscule detail that would be impossible to see in real life. But then again this is probably my #1 peeve about movies and tv.
Will & Grace - It makes no sense to me why this show is on the air. Much less the main NBC attraction on what was must see tv night. I've seen around 10 episodes and laughed maybe once. Total waste of time.

CSI, also, is not that much fiction.

The Cosby Show--He's a doctor, she's a lawyer and all they do is hang out with their kids all day. They are never bothered by the pressures that would come with their high-stress jobs.

Jeffersons-Florence was the worst employee ever, and was insubordinate and lazy. Her ass should have been fired.
Munsters-Frankenstein's Monster and his bride would not have a wolf boy as a child.
Frasier-a bar hugging beer lover becomes the prudish of prudes in his own series and suddenly turns his nose up at the style of bar he used to frequent.
Smallville-as if everybody who comes in contact with a radioactive rock will get super powers. And a short term memory when they discover who Clark really is.
Different Strokes-A rich white man adopts two black boys. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Murder, She Wrote: how can a woman know so many people who get murdered?
I think there was a thread on here where someone wanted the last episode to reveal that Jessica Fletcher was a serial killer.

Transformers and the Optimus Prime trailer. WTF? It just appears out of thin air every time he transforms.
A-Team. All those bullets and nobody ever gets hit.
Not that I'm complaining. I don't want to see a bunch of people get shot.

Alias: I can suspend my disbelief with all the technology and cliffhangers and incredible escapes... but the disguises?
Jack Bristow in a mustache?
And how can Sydney blend in anywhere without being recognized? By changing her hair color and accent?
