I’ve got a few 
:
Dramatic moments never clash with ‘real life’ arrangements. You’ll never see a grieving family open the door to the solar panel roof guy, who was booked months ago and no one thought to cancel.
There’s never ‘noise pollution’, only sounds relevant to the plotlines. So no dishwashers beeping to say ‘finished’, no phone notifications, no neighbours mowing, no random bored terrier down the road barking all night.
When a character calls another character and says ‘turn on the tv’ or ‘are you watching this?’, it only takes the press of one button on the remote to land on the exact right channel, volume and story. Amazingly, the news story was turned on in the middle, but has all the details from the start. In real life, I’ve given up even trying to find the things my mother calls me to insist I watch. By the time I’ve backed out of last night’s viewing, out of the streaming service, found the obscure channels my mum prefers- the story is well over. I want those magical TV-land remotes!
I get annoyed by all the chopping of food done in TV kitchens (drama/comedies, not cooking shows). Obviously it allows the characters to face each other for dialogue (as opposed to the cook having their heads over the stove or in the fridge). But what they chop is almost never something you’d put in the dish they’re making, or it’s clearly something that needed to go into the pot or oven much earlier- they’re are about to serve up, so why are carrots being diced for the dish? And they always have a big bunch of herbs (never gets used) and multiple capsicums chopped into random chunks (too big for almost any recipe?). Also, the meals always have carbs, but no one ever drains anything into the sink making clouds of steam (rice, pasta, potatoes, etc). I get very distracted by this stuff!
