Like my friends Jimmy and Lei I don't watch much television. I am not sure why, but I think is because I found certain moronic and repetitive patterns in American Television, hence American television becomes uninteresting and lifeless to me.

So, here we go with the list:

Large loft-style apartments in New York City are well within the price range of most people - whether they are employed or not.

All laptop computers are powerful enough to override the communication systems and hack into the most secure government system. It can be done anywhere, especially in the jungle.


It is always a routine and a necessity to visit a strip club for police investigations.

Main character cannot drown because they have special lungs that allow them to breathe forever.

The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place. No one will ever think of looking for you in there and you can travel to any other part of the building you want without difficulty. NOTE: its always clean!!!

Television news bulletins usually contain a story that affects you personally at that precise moment.

A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating but will wince in agony when a woman tries to clean hisw ounds.

All grocery shopping bags contain at least one stick of French bread.

No matter how badly a spaceship is attacked, its internal gravity system is never damaged.

Cars and trucks that crash will almost always burst into flames.

All foreigners prefer to speak English to each other, even when they are alone.

Agreed! There is really nothing good to watch on TV these days.

Nevertheless, it's like the TV has some magic power which could swich off the logical part of human brain. No matter how bad it is or stupid it seems, we continue to look for and be drawn to the excitement that it brings us. How sad~

OMG your point about the beating vs. wound cleaning pain levels is hilarious. We keep our TV disconnected most of the time to keep ourselves from getting sucked in - of course we still watch plenty of movies on DVD with the same faults of implausibility.
