It would be interesting to rewatch the show and tally up the body count in Charming alone.
Movie/TV Tropes that never happen in real life

The 8th grade basketball coach at my middle school ended up getting busted doing coke in the classroom. I never had him as a teacher so I never got to witness this
Sound travels through large ductwork like speakers. At work one day, a coworker and I were installing a vacuum loader on top of a large resin dryer that was located in an old elevator shaft. It was a real bitch kitty to get the bolt holes and the airlines all lined up and we were aggravated, using MF and F bombs along with other colorful words. Not shouting, mind you, but just at normal conversation levels. After a few minutes, our sweet, soft spoken department administrative secretary, Tracy came in and sheepishly said "guys, we can hear you in the conference room". There was an air intake just above our heads, and we were not only broadcasting to the VIP level people in the big conference room, but to the rest of the office and lab areas as well. One of the people in the conference room told us later that our banter was pretty entertaining.
* On Justified, Lexington to Harlan Co was like a 15 minute drive.
* On 24, Jack Bauer and his partner wheel up to a federal building to rush inside and there's a parking spot right at the entrance.

SOA was comical. The shootouts where no one was ever hit.
The idea that Clay and the other guy could kill a fellow member’s wife and that just stands? C’mon.
In The Town, they killed Jem on the street. Affleck’s character only did the shoot out in the parking garage, right? Feds probably nab him eventually but I assume he could pay cash for some lake house and fake docs. Idk. I love that movie. 😂
Let’s keep this going
Dexter
I’ll tell you the point in which I quit watching. It was season six and Colin Hanks is the killer and apparently made this big painting of Dexter at the crime scene. None lf the detectives enter the crime scene as they are waiting for blood splatter forensics to come first so naturally Dexter could cover up the painting. 😂
Never mind that no cop ever has waited to enter a crime scene so forensics could see it first.

And the drive traveled through pretty much high country desert area. 🤣
Justified was filmed in Southern California IIRC
I at least liked the acting in Justified. It didn’t feel like a bad impression/mocking which is what most portrayal of Eastern Kentucky are like.
24 is the ultimate response to this thread. Can be anywhere in 10 mins
The scariest thing about the movie Halloween to me was that Illinois which has among the most fertile soils in the world, was a desert. Forget Michael Myers, the starvation is the concern.
The street shootout at the end of Open Range, Costner had the Unlimited Ammo cheat code for that revolver. I didn't mind much because I love that movie.
The absurd level of effort and elaborate preparation just to get someone to go out on a date with you in rom-com movies. Will Smith in hitch asking what’s her name out being a perfect example.
90% of the world's population was zombiefied. The survivors there in walking dead would have so many weapons at their disposal it would be unfathomable. And yet Rick still ran around with a 6 shooter.
I mean everyone in my camp would be tearing shit up in a humvee with mounted .50 cals and flame throwers and anything of their desires just because
I would blow myself up on accident long before any zombie got me
Unrealistic scenes like where someone shoots someone and they turn their head at the last millisecond and just get grazed on the ear

And a dozen doctors in a conference room discussing what should be done about treating your illness.
And that parking space that opens up at the entrance to the ongoing Super Bowl.
24 really is the ultimate. Dude really had 24 hours to save the world like 8 different times in a short span. Every time theyd somehow think he was behind it all, then hed save the day until next time.
The show went into parody levels of hilarity after like season 2 or 3.

In the movies or TV, when burying a dead body some dude with a spade digs a 6x3 hole, 6 feet deep. The body goes in and the dirt put back on top. Start to finish this takes him about an hour. They never hit large rocks or hard clay. It’s always fine dirt as if it were delivered top soil.
If you’ve ever planted a family pet in your back yard, you know it neither easy nor quick.

Just had to bury our cat a couple of weeks ago. Thought it would take 20 mins tops. Big nope to that.
Every bomb that is about to blow with a timer on it always comes down to the last second before they cut the right wire. And they always cut the right wire.
The entire Armageddon movie. Tho I do like that one as fun.
