as one whose teevee is on for maybe 30min a week (half of which is getting the weather data), maybe I'm not the best person to respond. Not that I'm going to let that stop me.
I suggest a much less hard-on-yourself attitude to take when these things are onscreen is to play Margaret Mead, and marvel at the odd and unusual folk customs this foreign society has.
and if that fails, there's always the ever-reliable laugh-and-point approach. Carried me through many a (otherwise potentially) tense moment.
