I'd say just about everything on right now that's not a reality show. I'd make a list, but that would take too long.

Just name a few and give others a chance, no need in hogging the thread.

Good Times _ Laughs and joviality in an urban ghetto
Cheers - Everybody hangs out at a bar and nobody is an alcoholic
Grey's Anatomy - Numerous medical errors and poor decisions are made and nobody loses their job.
ER - See above
Criminal Minds - More than a hundred serial killers roam the country for years but are finally caught after the intervention of the BAU. Usually in the space of a few days.
Seinfeld, Friends, Sex in the City,etc - A New York City setting and yet almost no minorities to be seen.

Gomer Pyle-He would have been kicked out the first week he got there. Also had he made it through basic training, more than likely he would have went to Vietnam.

'Green Acres'

'The Beverly Hillbillies'

'Lost'

'My Favorite Martian'

Just name a few and give others a chance, no need in hogging the thread.

OK, Charles, here's a start:

Bewitched
The Brady Bunch (listen to Robert Reed's complaints about items like cooking strawberries and Greg's orange hair)
Desperate Housewives
Married ... with Children
Modern Family
The Simpsons
Wife Swap (yeah, it's a reality show)

TWO AND A HALF MEN-how can it be that Charlie hasn't caught a venurial disease or something after all these years???

Reaper

all the "STAR TREK" series.
"GET SMART"

Let's turn this around for a second.

I want to say that probably the most REALISTIC show of all-time was the Wonder Years. Although many other sitcoms are realistic as well, Wonder Years never had any really outlandish or completely crazy stunts like you could see on Happy Days, Family Matters, and many others.

Even sitcoms or other shows that aren't totally UNREALISTIC tend to have unrealistic elements to them.

I find Wonder Years, more than any other show, is just completely realistic. That's the beauty of it. It's just completely relatable.

Agree? Disagree?

It would be realistic, if your own life was a middle-class privileged upbringing w/ no domestic violence, no bullying and no economic setbacks.

Great point! I sort of take back that statement or let's just say for people living lives similar to people of whatever the program may be, Wonder Years was the most realistic. Maybe that was what I was going for.

Get Smart


Maxwell Smart was such a clutz and a screw up, he would have gotten fired in his first week, or gotten himself killed on his first assignment.


Still a fun show to watch though.
