For a while, some of my colleagues and I thought someone should make a show called
Game of Roads, a seemingly obvious mash up of
The Office and
Game of Thrones. In GoR, different transportation discipline 'houses' (rail, tunnels, highways, bridges, aviation) would vie for superiority and ultimately claim the asphalt throne...

John Oliver has given the best Civil Engineering that I've seen in the media. A bit colorful at times for the innocent, but ASCE gets a shout out, so it's worth watch.
Infrastructure: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
It originally aired in 2015, and unfortunately most of the points he makes are still relevant. The last 4 minutes of the episode are priceless.
Hope you enjoy!

Lawyers have Suits
Medical Professionals have Scrubs, Grey Anatomy
Civil Engineers have Prison Break (and perhaps Big Bang Theory)
I wanted to start a lighthearted conversation on the accurate (but mostly inaccurate) portrayals of civil engineers in entertainment media.
