Whenever the setting of a show or movie is based on a real profession or event, those who actually have that job or profession usually find all kinds of "funny" things about it. I was driving a taxi when the series Taxi came out. We all thought it was stupid how they sat around the cab company chit chatting instead of being out chasing fares=that's how we made money. Paper Chase came out when I was in law school-we were all given free passes. We couldn't believe the guy had the time and energy to have an affair. Those with a family never saw their kids. Cop shows, hospital shows, private eye shows are not real, that would not be interesting. A juicy soap opera or contrived plots are.
