I would totally watch that show. It could be called, "This is What Human Relationships Are Actually Like". Although, if it was too realistic the show would not provide any content I couldn't get by just having actual friends, which may explain why dumb people persist on TV (or maybe they're just playing to their main demographic).
I've had that conversation too in my head. "Hmm, I need to make sure my characters misunderstand each other sometimes, because that's what conversation is really like." I've somewhat gotten the hang of it through practice.
I've also developed a means to write dialogue with people much smarter than I am: I write the conversation as normal, and then cut most of it out, so that they seem to be making astounding leaps of logic and human understanding.
