24
I'm convinced that the writers of 24 believe that everyone is stupid, impulsive, and unable to follow the directions of their superiors. I'm also convinced that they believe the best (and most entertaining) way to solve crimes is to go at it alone but win in the end.
And for some dumb reason, I'm still persuaded to watch the next season.
But here's a real world application of lessons from 24:
Continually go back to your ex-girlfriend and ask for advice after getting burned time and time again.
-President Palmer
Pick dumb boyfriends time after time. Fail to realize that your bad choices negatively affect your life. Mysteriously get it all together and get a good job.
- Kim Bauer
Shoot people. Take drugs. Stab your superior. Disobey the commands of your boss. And not get fired.
- Jack Bauer
Lie and devise all sorts of schemes in order to get your way. In the end, everything works out and you're not punished.
- Pick your favorite character
Engage in torture and disobedience for the pragmatic reason of saving lives.
- Pick your favorite charactcer
I can't think of a single show that is so far removed from the reality of life...but it's intriguing and creatively put together, so I watch on, in spite of some serious character flaws among the cast.

Funny post...I had to stop watching 24 when I started yelling at the tv for somebody to just kill Kim already 'cause no one should ever be that annoying. :)
