If it was a reflection of real life The Rovers would be shut with a 'Business Opportunity' sign outside.

Haha - they have got a bit of a smoking shelter out the back. Dierdre and Liz have been seen sitting on a couple of old crates toking away.
 
Haven't watched it since I was a little kid, even then I always wondered to myself - Why do people watch this? in no way is it a true reflection on real life because if it was nobody would watch it.... Their target audience are the type of people who still buy newspapers, listen to BBC Radio Two and to them everybody who wears an Hoodie is dealing drugs.
It is quite easy to serve this type of audience - provide them with simpletone television, stereotypical bullcrap that goes easy on their brain.

As mentioned reality is nobody would be in that pub, it would be closed down with silver plates on the windows.
People would be sat in their houses with the laptop doing nothing, the street would be full on both sides with stationery cars.

Shameless pokes fun at "reality" so you get fed whats really happening but can actually laugh at it, Corrie serves the simple minded folk with the daily express brainwashed drivel that they so crave.

I like watching shows that aren't reality, I mean Lost isn't reality but it isn't trying to portray a street somewhere in manchester.
Funny thing is Lost has had two characters from Manchester (Charlie the rock band dude and the Black Girl) and both of them sounded more mancunian than most if not all of the characters in corrie... Charlie is a supposed Rag I know but atleast hes from around here...

the show will be taken off screens in years to come as the blue rinse goes, the newspaper readers eventually die out and the internet generation crave something different.

Cobbled streets, shit... more like potholes that the council can't be bothered to fix.
 
Well i think it's wonderful .... aaa ... and Rita does too!

One of the biggest piles of shite on TV, Its nothing like life in Manc and apart from sad old women I can't understand how anyone can watch it, or why it's so popular.
Does anyone actually live on a St in Manchester where most folk spend every dinner time and night in the pub, and have Lancashire accents...?

Being shite also applies to ALL the other soaps and Talent/reality shows.

I know it’s not real because there isn’t a Greggs, a vape shop, a mobile shop, a fried chicken shop, a shawarma takeaway, a Muslim convenience store, and loads of other shops closed and boarded up on the high street.

No tattoos and sportswear either. Used to love Annie Walker, so passive aggressive :)

Very true. It might be an unpopular opinion, but I went right off it in the 90s when Fred Elliott was turning it into a cringingly poor comedy with his Foghorn Leghorn schtick and dozy sidekick kid.

I stopped before that I think but in the 70s it was a good laugh with some good characters like Eddie Yates and Stan & Hilda Ogden. :)
