    When people answer the phone in soaps there's zero time in between the characters lines for whoever they're talking with to answer :P

    Two characters can hold a full-volume conversation 2 feet away from another character in a quiet room without being overheard, but can't hold a whispered conversation in a crowded room without being overheard by someone on the other side of the room!

    Related to this, characters being able to hold a conversation in a pub or club without shouting loudly over music.

    The A-Team find themselves in a shed full of tools to help them armour plate a school bus, they never have to even go searching under the sink in the house for the 19' socket or down to Homevalu for a can of silicon grease.

    In soaps the majority of houses are like the TARDIS. No matter how many family members or friends come to stay there's infinite bedrooms for them to stay in. Everyone seems to drink in the pub at their lunchtime going back to operate sewing machines and whatever else they do. A family moves into the soap village all happy and within months they're splitting up or having affairs.

    Everyone knows when a phone conversation ends, no need for goodbye, they just hang up.

    In crime related TV shows no one goes to the crime scene wearing proper clothing. They go from the crime scene to the lab in the exact same clothes and hair is never tied up or covered.

    CSI-Miami offices are 'naturally' set in extreme luminous brightness and in every colour under the rainbow.

    Sunny as it is, they're probably running a large percentage of the East coasts 'commercial film stock of coloured film gels', placed in-front of dozens of 500w bulbs, as fancy mood and ambience lightning.

    The garage, bar, or restaurant will be constantly bought by different locals despite them having absolutely no experience running it, or the money to buy it in the first place.

    People can have a conversation in a nightclub at a regular volume and no one ever seems drunk.

    Welded doors were always a no-no :)

    In TJ Hooker, William Shatner looked like he had a massive cock, when in reality he was a massive cock.

    No one ever uses a debit/credit card to pay for things in the shop, always cash.
