Top 10 Realistic TV Shows
Here are 10 sitcoms and TV Shows that went all out to be accurate and realistic.
Rich Top 10
10. The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead is an American post-apocalyptic horror drama television series developed by Frank Darabont. It is based on the comic book series of the same name by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard. In order to make the walkers’ prosthetics realistic for viewers, the producers of the Walking Dead studied how corpses and cadavers decay in depth. As the walkers spend most of their time outside, the focus of the studies were on how the walking dead reacted to prolonged heat and sunlight. Finding that the skin tightens and becomes dehydrated, this feature was added to the prosthetics. And that’s not all. The prosthetics for each season are constantly evolving in order to highlight that, as time passes, the walkers are becoming more and more decomposed. The series was renewed for season 6, which starts in the fall of 2014.
9. The Big Bang Theory
The Big Bang Theory is an American sitcom created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, starring Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, and Kaley Cuoco. In the background of many scenes, which is set in the apartment that the protagonists live, you can see a couple of whiteboards with equations. However, these are far from random science symbols. In fact, they’re legit science equations, provided by a physics professor who works on the set as a consultant. In the episode where the main characters have a near-miss with a batch of explosive rocket fuel, the whiteboard for the episode explained how the type of rocket fuel featured works.
8. Sherlock
Sherlock is a British television crime drama that presents a contemporary adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes detective stories. Created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, it stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as Doctor John Watson. Unfortunately, the TV Show only ran for nine episodes. However, there were lots of references to the original Conan Doyle stories, many in ways that even the most astute fan could miss. In “The Great Game”, Sherlock receives a recording of five Greenwich Pips, a thinly-veiled warning that a bomb is about to explode. This is just how one character in “The Adventure of the Five Orange-Pips” received five orange pips as a warning that they were about to die. At the start of “A Scandal in Belgravia”, we’re shown a montage of cases that Sherlock and Watson have solved. These are all (respectively) references to the novels “The Greek Interpreter”, “The Adventure of the Speckled Band”, and “The Adventure of the Naval Treaty”.
7. Scrubs
Scrubs is one of the most accurate TV shows of the 2000s and 2010s. The show is mostly about what happens at hospitals between crises; the way doctors and nurses handle ordinary situations. And doctors say that as a depiction of the residency process, the show hits strikingly familiar emotional notes. J.D. narrates nearly every episode in a voice-over, setting up jokes and transitions between bits, but also describing his thoughts and insecurities. Doctors say they recognize in J.D.’s internal monologue the real thought processes of a beginner doctor at work.
6. Seinfeld
The show was about nothing and everything. They took everyday issues and they amplified them and made them into comedic acts that viewers loved watching over and over again. For example, Elaine is in the stall and notices that there is no toilet paper. She asks the person next to her if she has a square to spare. When the other person refuses, the show goes on to explore the issue of no toilet paper in the washroom. In another episode, the characters explore the wait time in the restaurant. Everyone hates waiting, but who would think that the producers would make a whole episode out of this issue.
