Drivers get into cars on the passenger side and slides across the front seat instead of walking around.

That's because cars had proper bench seats with no huge consoles in the middle! People didn't like getting out in traffic.

On those same shows, though, the driver NEVER turns off his headlights when he gets out of the car at night, even if he's going into the house. Must have something to do with camera lighting.

Women drive convertibles at 50 mph and their long hair doesn't move.

Similarly, the drive and passenger converse while looking directly at each other for 15 seconds, without running off the winding road.
