'30 Rock' biggest ethics violator on TV – The Marquee Blog - CNN.com Blogs
If you think your co-workers are a handful, take a good look at the characters on your favorite shows. A recent study conducted by Global Compliance found that most people on TV are hardly politically correct, constantly violating ethics in the workplace.
The biggest offender? "30 Rock," which averages 11 violations per episode. On one show, Jack (Alec Baldwin) comments that a "chick lawyer" who handles sexual harassment presentations is "asking for it." According to Global Compliance, which is devoted to helping organizations achieve the highest degree of ethical behavior, Jack's remark violates Diversity, Equal Opportunity, and Respect in the Workplace.

You actually didn't go into the wrong line of work. Those jobs are hard to come by. I got paid to watch TV for a very long time, but then when that gig ended there was not a big market for my skills.
If you did want to pursue this field, there are some opportunities. You could work for a monitoring service that pays people to record and watch TV to see if their commercials are actually shown.
