    I fully understand kmos17 what you are saying. The problem arises however who gets to decide? This Benson episode from the 80's gets to the apex of the problem at the 16.59 minute mark. Strangely, it's HARD to find this gem online. Now why is that? I do not know but somebody does. Regardless, here it is:

    I'll forever remember his delightful performance as the snooty Clayton Endicott III, the foil to the main character, Benson, of the '80s sitcom of the same name. The byplay between him and Robert Guilluame as Benson never failed to get a chuckle.

    Farewell, Mr. Auberjonois, and thanks for all the laughs.

    Reminds me of that episode of "Benson" where they game out a nuclear attack scenario in the basement (bonus: first mention of ARPANET on TV): https://www.paleycenter.org/collection/item/?q=benson&p=3&item=B:05045

    More fun would be if the "suspect" reports it to the local police, who end up running a sting operation on what only later they find out is the FBI.

    (Which happened in an episode of the TV show "Benson." I feel old now. :) )
