It’s hard not to if the show does it a lot - JAG’s ‘orange lit’ Northern Ireland episode was particularly jarring!

It’s actually not that hard to keep your mouth shut about it. It’s not like anybody thinks the cast of JAG went to film in Belfast. Pretty annoying to watch something with someone who has to point out something so obvious. Just enjoy the show!

  If you can't suspend my disbelief, then you've faild at your job. If you can't handle the criticism of your job, get better at your job or get a new job. As if you've never maintained someone else's code and didn't make any kinds of comments about how bad it was or anything similar. Just shut up and do your job!

      He was just colloquializing a sweet moment with his wife. Didn’t seem like anything to get worked up about.

      To be fair, I know you didn't have much context. I had to look up "tech bro": https://www.wired.com/story/stop-calling-everyone-tech-bro/ https://www.wired.com/story/stop-calling-everyone-tech-bro/ Tech bro does not describe me (I agree they should have an eye kept on them though), I'm a 55 year old man who watches LHOTP on a 10 year old DVD player, has 10.5 years of Visual Basic programming, and wears sandals with white socks. Last week I had to look up "sh*tpost" and "edgelord", and before that "know your meme" when those were leveled at me. Maybe people on the Internet and social media too need to understand, like TV show fans, that it is NOT reality. It also doesn't foster the kind of wonderful, 20+ year marriage we've had--we are BFFs forever my wife and I, like Mr. and Mrs. Ingalls in some ways. I also reserve my right to laugh at the incongruities of the Internet--I have a headache from laughing so hard at it today, so I will spare everyone more annoyance and quit for a long time.

  On your advice, we just agreed to watch it separate rooms with no discussions at supper. No more calling Mrs. Oleson the meanest person that ever lived, in jest, that is OVER (we both are guilty of this one). We are going to enjoy it even if it strips the all joy out of life. The actress who played Nellie said she used to get hate mail from fans of the show, who apparently couldn't distinguish her from her character. (She said IRL she was friends with the younger Melissa, and some of the cast attested to how nice she was offscreen--both from a special feature on one of the DVDs) Man, we aren't that far gone. It actually is the best part of our day, spending time making fun of Landon's hair.
