The un-reality of television

We were watching Fraiser on the Tivo and came across the episode where Niles and Daphne decide to start trying. Niles tells her that he might have another child because he once donated at a sperm bank. When he goes to the sperm bank, he finds that his sample was discarded due to extremely low motility.

That evening he tells Daphne that they may not be able to conceive a child. She's all okay with it and says that there are lots of things medicine can do for infertile couples (way to optimistic and easygoing of a response, but this is not my issue). She then pulls out an OPK and tells Niles that she's ovulating. On their way up the stairs, Niles realizes that she took an HPT instead of an OPK and they're pregnant.

Yeah right.

Whatever.
