30 Times TV Show Writers Showed Such Incredible Attention To Detail, People Couldn’t Help But Be Amazed
The devil is in the details. Whether you’re writing a book, painting a picture, or filming a movie, any large creative project has the potential to go viral and become a global phenomenon. However, you’re only increasing your chances of success if you put in as much effort as you can into fleshing out the world you’re creating and making it as believable as possible (even if it’s a fantasy or sci-fi universe). Really, it’s the tiny details that can make or break a show.
That’s where the r/TVDetails subreddit comes in. It’s an online community that unites perceptive TV lovers who share the most “interesting and unnoticed details” that they’ve spotted in their fave shows. We’ve collected the most intriguing details to show you just how genius some of these creators are. Scroll down and get ready—you won’t be able to think about these series the same way ever again.

In our experience, even the smallest details contribute to the overall atmosphere of a TV show or film. But the thing is that they can’t be random. They need to make sense in the context of the show and the universe that the show’s creators are lovingly crafting. It’s the details that reveal how much effort someone’s put into crafting the world that the story’s protagonists inhabit.
However, if they’re messy or clash with the rest of the story (instead of adding to it), they can break our immersion. And if your audience is no longer willing to suspend its disbelief for the sake of the spectacle, then you’re really in hot water. Barely anybody is going to stick with your story if they know you’re just winging it.

Load More Replies... A while ago, Bored Panda spoke about the willing suspension of disbelief and immersion with writer, teacher, and webcomic creator Christopher Burke. He explained to us that audience members sometimes stumble across details on the silver screen that completely take them out of the story and make them realize that the entire spectacle is fake. It can be something completely minor.
"There can be a dragon. The dragon can swear, smoke cigars, and drink whiskey if it wants to. But if it starts talking about cigars and whiskey and gets basic facts (which are easily found) wrong, someone's going to notice, and that will pull them out of the moment. The audience will willingly accept the big stuff or they wouldn't watch the movie. It's the small stuff that's distracting, and sometimes you wonder if they could've avoided it” he said.

Abed (play by Danny P) was marvellous in that show. Too bad that he didn't appear in much in other shows. Danny will be "Abed" forever

He's great in Mythic Quest, which is shooting its 4th season. But yeah, he'll always be Abed to me bc Pudi's just so amazing at playing him. I'm v psyched for the forthcoming Community movie!

Attention to detail was famously stringent in that show. I recall a story where, IIRC, they changed a scene that included a particular camera because the camera hadn't come out in reality until a couple of months after the date the show was depicting. Makes it a more fun watch to feel that everything you see is accurate to the time period.

I think that being on probation is like being a new hire. So when he is demoted and put on probation, he is given a badge to indicate he is new/learning with 'Help me learn'. His uniform has faded around where the badge goes, to show how many times he has had to wear it.
