When the FBI agent is 50 yarRAB from the criminal they shout out "FBI don't move" causing the killer to run in the other direction.
Why not get as close as possible before saying who you are?
Not quite relevant but:
If I was a criminal in the USA I'd get a black jacket with FBI in big yellow letters on the back. Should be a doddle to escape any raid.

Several people squash up round a dinner table but leave a big gap front stage.
Probably because the shows are taped weeks, or months in advance - be a bit pointless an episode of whatever tonight having someone say "did you watch Desperate Housewives last night?" when Desperate Housewives wasn't on last night in real life...
that's because there's no 555 exchange in America and it stops hilariously funny people dialling any number they hear on TV for the giggles.
Nor do they have to go through the process where they have to be accepted to the country (I'm thinking of Australia in particular) I knew some people who were turned down at the last minute...
When a relationship breaks down, the woman cries for a bit then everyone just gets on with their lives...

TV police never switch a light on when searching a house at night either, they seem to prefer using torches.

Women rarely carry handbags.
People never wear slippers at home.
They always drop the name of the person they are speaking to into their conversation with them, so new viewers know who they are.

Yeah, that one pops up quite a bit on TV, is it even possible?
Doctors is a great one for things that would never actually happen, like lengthy GP appointments with a patient, listening intently doctor that then comes over to your house to sort out any further problems that may have cropped up, not necessarily connected to your illness.

Whenever someone has something really important to tell nobody listens to them, or something happens so they can't tell their secret and this goes on for the whole episode.

When a man and a woman find they are attracted to each other they are never prevented from having sex due to the woman being on her period.
In one series of 24 (which all happens in the space of 24 hours, you know!), Jack was addicted to drugs and recovered over the span of a few hours! Mad.
The mention of not getting a signal on your mobile made me think of how old plot devices can't be used anymore - like cutting the phone lines
In Sherlock (modern day remake) no-one mentions how the characters are the same as the ones in the books by Conan Doyle.
