Shows that made no sense
 

I know TV is fantasy and not in anyway realistic, but there are some shows that didn't even make sense even when you take into account that 'its just a tv show'.

For example:
Benson. The guy starts out as a butler and in a few years, rises to be Lt. Governer of California? Completely implausable. (ummm... wait a sec, maybe that wasn't the best example).

The Nanny. She would've been fired after a week. What exactly did she do?

Dukes of Hazzard. What was stopping Roscoe from just go to the farm and arrest Bo and Luke after they had escaped and forced him into a bale of hay? It's not like he didn't know where they lived.

Any others?

D

Twin peaks.

Re: Shows that made no sense
 

thats because they were just good ol' boys, never meanin no harm ;)

Maybe Bo and Luke were holding WMDs in their farm, and if Roscoe ever tried to start shit, Bo and Luke would blow that town to bits. ;)

Well, they DID strap sticks o' dynamite onto arrows and shoot them at outhouses and such. Darwin award contenders no doubt.
(We gotta see what dumbass behavior Johnny Knoxville brings to the table, eh?)

mash.

i never understood it.

The Prisoner.

How does it end?

Three's Company

Come on, Jack would be banging at least one of those chicks.

And was it really needed to lie about being gay to live with two women? In the '70's? In Southern California?

I never ever figured out the other half of the battle on GI Joe.

The Korean War lasted 11 years on Mash. :)

ER... Boston Public... Who in their right mind would want to work at a place where EVERY POSSIBLE horrible situation happens on a daily basis?

Gilligan's Island: Why is it when a boat or plane is on their island, they always look for the person who owns it. If I were them, and I see a boat or plane, forget who owns it, steal it and get help!

another gilligan's island thing
they show the boat in the opening credits and it has a hole in the side. so why not build a small square of bamboo to cover it, add some of the natural rubber that was on the island to seal it and take off in their own boat

More Gilligan's Island, as if the show is supposed to make sense:

The Skipper and Gilligan actually lived on the Minnow, but were the only two that had no change of clothes.

The Harlem Globbetrotters episode on Gilligan's Island...... rotfl

Funny stuff

Did the Professor ever change clothes?

About the boat... It's been a while since I've seen it, but in one of the very first episodes, the Professor tried to fix the hole in the boat, but Gilligan messed up and the boat literally disintegrated. So after the first or second episode, there was no more boat.

As for Three's Company, wasn't it established early on that Mr. Roper was pretty conservative and would have never allowed a heterosexual male to live with 2 women in his building, hence Jack's "gay" cover story?

Maybe is wasn't a lie like we were lead to believe......

On "Friends", Rachel went from a coffee house waitress with no work experience to an executive at Ralph Lauren within five years.

King of Queens - Come on, Doug banging and marring Carrie and he's not even rich. Get real.

Chandler went from having no advertising experience, to being an intern, to being an advertising executive in a manner of months.

Wait a minute, he was so conservative he would rather have a gay man living in one of his apartments with two women?

Plus on Three's Company...was Janet actually supposed to have been hot?!

Chips, why didn't they use their guns for once?

Although a pretty good show...I've said this before in a thread about Without A Trace.
Someone disappears for an hour and with no kidnapping or ransom demand, and not even really any signs of foul play, you get a complete team of FBI agents investigating the case on virtually a 'round the clock basis?!

Uh...I don't think so.

ah, so there was an explanation

That's an easy one; Because she's FEAKIN" HOT!

How about "Gentle Ben?" Why didn't that bear just eat the face off that boy and run back into the Glades? It's a wild bear for Pete's sake!

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! :drool:

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

well, they <i>were</i> using Mini 14s on the A-Team afterall ;)

Welcome Back, Kotter-If the Sweathogs were really a gang of tough guys they would have beat Kotter up.

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.

The Simpsons.. don't they every age.. Bart has been in 6th grade (or whatever) for 10+ years

4th grade ;)

I liked the show, but

Mork from Ork?

(and not even going into Jonathan Winters or the whole egg thing :) )

It was out there, but everything he did was at least possible. It's just that he did that stuff in every episode.

CSI, also, is not that much fiction.

CSI is also able to solve a case in a day when these sort of forensic cases can sometimes take months. But then again, most cop shows solve all their crimes in one work day (episode), unless it's a very special two-parter.

Bob is sooooo gonna get you for saying that.

Tsk, tsk.

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!!!!

well it doesn't.

BURNS THE SUIT BURNS THE SUIT!!
