What’s something you should have learned from real-world experience, but instead you learned from a television show?

Growing up, I didn’t pay attention to how my mother made meatloaf, and I assumed it was just made of ground beef, like an extra-large hamburger. It was not until I watched Roseanne that I learned that the whole purpose of meatloaf was so that people could stretch out the meat by adding fillers such as breadcrumbs or cornflakes.

So, what moment in television lit the lightbulb for you that should have been lit from your real-world experience?
