Have sitcoms ever taught you anything? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

John Cleese taught me how to open a stuck cork on a wine bottle.

On the Britcom Fawlty Towers, Basil opened a bottle with his knees. Did it twice as I remember. It works!

Has sitcoms or TV shows ever teach you anything practical?

I learned from Bobby Brady on The Brady Bunch, never play ball in the house.

He also taught us to never use a whole box of detergent, for one load of laundry.

They taught me to be nice to people or you'll suffer a humiliating act of vengeance.

Not to let the door close behind you in a meat locker

On the Brady Bunch, Greg and Bobby get stuck in Sam the Butcher's meat locker .
On I love Lucy, Lucy get's stuck in a meat freezer

Social life isn't the way it is portrayed in real life.

If you go to dinner or a party at someone's house and the host says to another person living there " can I see you in the kitchen" that they are talking about you!

Have you noticed that on sitcoms when company is over and there is a type of controversy the "Can I see you in the kitchen" thing? Than they talk in a normal tone voice and the other people are right in the next room, but NEVER hear a thing that is said, or even have a clue that anything is going on! LOL !!!
