Things that only happened in TV land

The list of things that infuriates or amused me when I watch TVs. 

I may had make similar list in my own blog and made somewhat similar list regarding chic lits and flicks, but I am broadening the horizon a bit for only TVs. Because I am such a couch potato, I can't help but noticed this.

The mothers in the show  (the one that is in their 40s) are always, hot and thin.

The character that you worshipped in TV because he is ever so cool (*cough* Grissom *cough* House) and whose some people are delusional enough to think they shared their traits, NEVER watch tv. At the very least, do not watch TV as incessantly as you do. 

Same goes to other characters who make constant reference to pop culture or TV reference are never shown watching TV, while that much knowledge of TV shows shown by the characters required a min of 4 hours TV time almost every day. 

The baldies or the fatties always get the hotties. 

You can be making barely minimum wage but still can afford an apartment to yourself.
Guys are constantly asking random strange women for their numbers. (Maybe it didn't happen only to me?)

People on TVs only have these job: Reporters, doctors, lawyers, mysterious businessman (who constantly traveled but you have no idea the wares they are peddling about), writers/editors, cops or any govt officials (super secret or not), chefs (and anyone in the food industry but never the butchers).

The women woke up with their make up still on. (This constantly happened in Malay TV drama)

The character: a naive, kampung girl who don't have any money and had just misscarry. But yet, when the character was shown termenung di luar bilik dengan kain batik, her hair is immaculately shiny and highlighted in brown streaks.

The kitchen is ever so spotless, even if they are cooking up a storm. 

You rarely ever used the power adapter for your laptop. I guess all those wires are so messy and in TV land the battery life of a laptop must be some kind of perpetual energy one.
