Some shows aren't supposed to make sense to be funny like Spongebob; lots of things in there don't make sense like they live underwater but the sinks, bathtubs/showers & toilets fill up with water instead of the whole building being filled with water, they have a beach underwater, they have boats with wheels on the bottom that drive on roads, Mr.Krabs who is a crab has a daughter called Pearl who's a whale or some kind of giant fish. All the cartoons on Adult Swim or Fox Sunday Primetime don't make much sense either sometimes.

Gossip Girl. The plot(s) are holier than Swiss cheese.

The premise of the old "Dukes of Hazzard" show doesn't make much sense. The Duke boys escape from the exact same cops on almost every episode by jumping a stunt-car that never gets damaged.

Yes, that's right. Especially when you see the car begin to disintegrate on landing; the chassis bends and the panels warp and buckle. Then the next moment the car's driving away fully intact. Magic!

What about the Six Million Dollar Man. Bionic legs, right arm and left eye. Then he'd reach out with that strong right arm and pick up a ton with it, with about 120 pounds of counter weight. He'd of just flipped himself over and done inverted chin ups. That's if his little lumps of calcium with squishy bits in between of a spine didn't snap like a twig before he got that far. It's no wonder children do silly things, like jump of the roof and try to fly. It's just reckless and irresponsible. There should be a law against it.

that show was hilarious. i saw one episode where he held onto the landing track of a helicopter preventing it from taking off even though his feet were not tethered to the ground. did he weigh so much that a helicopter could not lift him?
in other episodes he was shown riding in helicopters, so either they were more powerful helicopters than the one he prevented from lifting off (with the credit attributed to his "bionic" arm rather than the true fact that only his weight could have prevented the helicopter from taking off), or the one he prevented from lifting off was defective in a way that was never explained in the show.

i wonder if lee marvin is dead yet? if he is not, then he must be a brittle old fellow. sarah faucet is dead so i guess he is too. i will now look it up.

it seems that lee marvin died in 1987. he looked reasonably young in the six million dollar man, so i guess he may have died of aids. i can not be bothered to find out at the moment so i will look at the matter tomorrow.

I think the actor in Six Million Dollar Man was Lee Majors. I think Lee Marvin was an older guy. By the Google search page he's still alive at 74.

Ironically he went on to star in a series called The Fall Guy, where he played a stunt man. A subconscious confession of past trespasses maybe. (just kidding)

And don't forget how the exact same police officers constantly get in serious auto-accidents while chasing the duke boys(car submerged underwater, etc). Then a short while later they don't care at all, and don't even bother to mention the accident and/or remember it ever happened. Along with the duke boys repeatedly escaping from the police station's holding cell. However, I think this particular show is designed to be stupid on purpose for the humor of it.

Are there any cartoon shows that make almost perfect sense :?: besides the Star Trek cartoon series which makes sense because it's science-fiction & everything is theoretically possible.

I was watching a superman movie last night. These three villains, with powers such as superman, stood there for several minutes causing a gale by blowing constantly through their mouths. There is no way their bodies could hold that mass of air. It could only be a constant flow. Where's the intake?

If it were a TV show, Homestuck would be added to this list.

I think I've seen one or two episodes of what's the show that started all the other modern crime shows? The really famous one? Ever notice how the police always run to the back of the station and perform their own tests on the evidence? - AND FOR SOME STUPID REASON THE LAB IN THE BACK OF THE POLICE STATION THAT THEY GO TO ALWAYS HAS DARK MOODY LIGHTING.

First off - there are no labs in the back of police stations and if a police person did that that without having the appropriate lab, training, skills, etc, the evidence would no longer be evidence.

But sure if you're gonna do it, do it in the dark, that makes total sense.
