Sure - St. Elsewhere, Hill Street Blues, The Wire, Homicide, Detroit 187, All In The Family, Good Times, Roseanne (the early years), Tour of Duty, Law & Order (original series), Sanford & Son. All very realistic shows in their particular milieu. Need more?

I'll take published accounts over some bonged-out losers sharing good times on a blog
