But I do hate the screaming.

remember watching happy days and i forget what epi and mr bosley goes , what was so funny about that .
liked mash but there was one epi that the laugh track got turned off. i guess ppl complained . idk

They never used a laugh track in the operating room scenes.

Where I can't see who is doing what to whom.

But totally unwatchable on the small screen. And tv increasingly follows the same lead. Makes me miss the days of analog bands when tv audio could be "streamed" on its own band on small analog radios. Hell, if you can't SEE the video to begin with, may as well give us a way to just listen--cheaply.

get away from one, and they always have their car keys ready and the car unlocks and starts.

They always find a parking spot right where they need it.

A female character running away from a bad guy always trips and falls down.

Conversations abruptly ending when a character just walks away.

Smart-ass children.

are backed onto counters and desks and ravished, or another fave, in a public bathroom, or in a hallway up against the wall. I could go on.
Romance is dead.
What woman thinks this is sexy or a good idea?

While I'm at it... do we have to hear every grunt and groan?... we know what they're doing.

Sorry, as a feminist, this has bugged me for ages.

sex scenes. I'm very tired of it. It's so trite and unimaginative and demeans women and men.

You immediately hear a dial tone.

get a dial tone. Excuse me?

and the cops walk into the house and have to use their flashlights because it's dark inside. Even when the windows are open.

1) when it's winter and they don't close the front door.

2) When they are at a restaurant and order something to eat or drink and don't even touch it (and sometimes don't pay).

This not eating the food they prepared or bought has bothered me forever. The Gilmore Girls was a horrible example of this, although I adored that rapid fire banter. If you ever watch any ( or at least the ones I've see ) in kdramas they eat and drink like real people and excuse themselves to use the bathroom!

They don't eat. They leave. Don't pay. Then everyone else leaves. No one pays.

In most every comedy movie, if a character steps up to a microphone it feeds back as they begin speaking 😀

instead of looking at the road.

Apparently the foot of every single driver killed in a Hollywood movie clamps down on the accelerator until the car hits something.

and use flashlights, don't even try to turn the lights on.

Children who ignore their parents' direction and barge into a dangerous situation "trying to help" and make it ten times worse!!

The download times are fast and the software is always compatible.

Man wears a shirt and jacket and the woman wears a skin tight low cut tank top. Mr. D and I used to call this the “sci-fi uniform” back when he watched a lot of movies on the sci-fi network.

Clark is wearing a lambswool vest and flannel plain shirt. Jane is in a short sleeved off the shoulder peasant blouse.

They just don't work that way.

Cars screech away on gravel, snow, mud et al.
Character calls a cell phone and gets a busy signal.
Character goes to the sink for a glass of water and turns on the hot tap.
Character is awakened, called into work unexpectedly and doesn't even brush their teeth.

Who run away in straight lines and on a smooth road. They rarely run on the sidewalk, run in sharp turns, or get behind a sign or divider. And why do they even stay on the smooth road when the ditches on the side of the road or forest are obvious obstructions to vehicles.

How can he swim with boots on? And, when he gets out the boots don't squish.

Time filler material.

situation and you just wait for the one who's always killed....

the text.

Absolutely hate that!

A nice clean killing is fine...

It is so over-done it just takes me right out of the belief into criticism.

(Sometimes the daughter happens to be the son, but that is pretty rare and still annoying.)
This is generally a massively lazy plot device. Also it is misogynist.

The ITD, for example, is told to not go out because 'the bad guys' are going to strike, but ITD has to go to the mall to see her friends. The bad guys capture ITD. Plot moves forward. Viewer stops watching.

Always a huge separate kitchen which hardly exists in real life.

Always chaotic. All eating. All gonna be late. Mother always dressed to a tee, scrambling to feed and rush people out.

Hugging toilets! People just get their faces all up in toilets when they're throwing up or something. Ewwwww!

And shoes on the bed. Yuck!

and always gets a parking spot right in front of the place.

Because it does always happen in her movies. I got that from a CBC radio host.

We always call it Princess Parking, lol.

whether made for TV or not. I really like to be able to see who is on screen
