If you wrote a perfectly "show accurate fic" it would probably be awkward to read since a lot of the charm of the show relies on things that don't translate well to prose, like the VAs' line delivery or the cartoony visual gags. You can still write a good fic that's true to the spirit of the world and characters and emotionally resonant with the themes of the series but I think trying to replicate the exact style of a TV show in prose is a fool's errand. They're different mediums.
