Ten Most Ridiculous TV Storylines

Usually you expect to see bizarre storylines on shows like Lost and Fringe, but sometimes shows that are supposed to be like normal life can be way out there too. Which leads us to the ten most ridiculous storylines on TV right now…

She has an amicable relationship with her husband, a functional relationship with her teen son and has a young, hot boyfriend who is willing to wait ten dates for sex? What a bizarrely charmed life this supposed over-the-hill loser is living.

We had a really hard time swallowing the idea that any woman could look at baby-faced Dixon and believe that he was in his mid-to-late 20s. He doesn’t look a day over 15 and when he opens his mouth, he talks like a teenager, not a savvy music producer.

We’re surprised that Lily and Marshall never tried to “couple friend” Robin when she was dating Ted. If they were so desperate, wouldn’t Marshall’s best pal have been their first target? Oh, and we’re not buying Ted as a professor either.

It’s more than a little insane to think that Sheldon and Pete, who both tried to stake claim on Violet’s kid, would have waited an entire month before even considering a paternity test. Pete had plenty of time to do that little swab test.

We’re supposed to buy that Olivia has not only landed herself a job as some sort of assistant accessories editor at Elle despite her lack of experience, but also that this lowly position would report directly to the creative director and the PR director.

For a supposedly top-secret organization, it sure is easy to get into this place. Last week they brought in a serial killer who had been hit buy a car for some medical treatment — are they moonlighting as an emergency room now?

Leonard definitely has a unique nerdish appeal, but we’re not entirely sold on the fact that Penny appreciates him for his mind. He’s nice enough, but Penny’s used to beefy men; why would she suddenly decide to date this geek?

Will’s not the brightest bulb in the shed, but even he should be able to touch his wife’s stomach and realize that she’s not actually having his baby. Either he’s the most oblivious man in the world, or he just chooses to be blind.

We were going to pick one storyline, but then we realized that the most ridiculous thing about this show is that it is still on the air. They can’t even find new ways to shock us because they’ve pretty much already done it all.

How/why is Castle still working alongside Beckett while she does her day job? He’s already published his book, after all. Also, how can he solve crimes that people who get paid to do that job for a living can’t figure out? Just saying.

Thoughts? I love Dollhouse and The City, the rest are not for me at all.
