Unrealistic apartments
One thing suddenly jumped out at me when I was watching recently. I never realized how unrealistic the apartment front doors were, with their steps down. I get why they did it, so actors can make a grand entrance, raised up a step or three, but in terms of verisimilitude, it falls flat. Maybe that works with suburban homes like the Brady Bunch house, but in NYC high rises, nobody's going to put the hallway floor outside a foot higher than the apartment floor. It would be a waste of ceiling height and construction material.
