Stargate Atlantis S2E16 "The Long Goodbye"

I employed a little bit of creative license here in order to make this work better as a 4-panel "comic" with the knowing glances of the ridiculously attractive people as the punchline. Full original dialog:

RONON: So people just sit and watch this box for hours at a time?
JOHN: Yeah, people do.
TEYLA: Is it that engaging?
JOHN: Depends what's on it. There are lots of programs on dozens of channels, every day, all day.
RODNEY: Most of which are fictional representations of ridiculously attractive people in absurd situations.
JOHN: There are educational programs, all sorts of documentaries. Not many people watch 'em but, uh, well, they're on.
RONON: And that's what everybody on your planet does for entertainment? Watch a box?

There are some good shows though, like Wormhole X-treme

Don't they also make a Jeopardy/double jeopardy joke too?

RONON: And that's what everybody on your planet does for entertainment? Watch a box?
RODNEY: Not everyone -- although I will confess to the occasional half hour of Jeopardy.
RONON: Jeopardy?
RODNEY: It's the name of the show -- "Jeopardy".
RONON: Sounds dangerous.
JOHN: Double jeopardy -- that's twice as dangerous.

But if you do really good fictional representations of the absurd situations - or are especially attractive - you get to do more fictional representations on a bigger screen.

Hot take: Films should be made with the ugluest people so that you'd only watch them if there is an enough good plot and so.

We make those too... sometimes... though admittedly they usually become hot again at some point in the 3rd act
