Shows about Rome (excepting the kind-of-recent and excellent HBO special) didn't show the sewage in the gutter
That gun shot deaths are not slow and painful, excepting the hero/hero's love interest
That people recover from gun shots without years of physical therapy
That oil paintings from before 1950 don't show smallpox scars everyone had (excepting milkmaids)
That war movies don't show you shitting in your pants before battle (I know about that one personally)
Etc.
