[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (2 children) I think what most people find unrealistic is having more than 1 person you want to spend more than 30 minutes with. In the 90s, nothing about their lifestyle is super unrealistic for New York. The only thing is the money. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago* (1 child) Sitcom characters spend ridonkulous amounts of money on stupid things nobody does irl. It's usually rationalized by saying the character is always broke, which makes sense until they blow $2500 to hire a mariachi band for somebody's birthday a week later. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] blarghly@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago Being broke can be the impetus for zany hijinks that sitcoms center around. But actually being broke sucks and is not very funny, so they don't show you that part. Otoh, I know quite a few people who fit that exact description. They have jobs that pay them pretty well, but spend recklessly, so they are always "broke" despite having steady, well paid employment. permalink fedilink source parent [–] stoly@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago Also notable that Hollywood types often lead lives with very loose schedules and will randomly hang out in places. permalink fedilink source parent
