People are interested in seeing conflicts, traumas, etc. And what professions experience those things the most? First responders. So cop shows and medical dramas get churned out constantly This. Most people's lives would be boring as all hell if you tried to make a TV show about it. Possibly a sitcom if the people themselves are comedians with good writing teams behind them, but the sort of thing that would make it into a cop/medical drama doesn't happen to normal people more than once or twice a lifetime. So instead they flip it and make the show about the people responding to those events to provide an unending stream of one-in-a-lifetime events without the main character being the most unfortunate bastard to ever exist. And to get even that, the cops on the show have to have the most eventful careers in law enforcement. --- There are four lights. <cite>willythemailboy posted [p:974924518] in Realtalk: ...
