Reply to comment by bolanrox in TIL that Norman Lear has produced, written, created or developed over 100 shows, including "All in the Family", "Sanford and Son" and "The Jeffersons". He's now 100 years old, and still actively producing television shows - most recently, a revival of "Good Times". by TelescopiumHerscheli

I miss all those gritty poor and lower middle class tv shows. Seemed like after Dan and Roseanne won the lottery, everyone on tv became upper middle class.

Malcom in the middle, My name is Earl, and Raising hope we’re some pretty good lower class ones that aired in the 2000’s to early 2010’s. Haven’t watched many sitcoms since then so don’t know if there have been any more recent ones.

Raising Hope was an awesome show, I wish it had gotten more recognition.

A lot of Chuck Lorre shows are about average folks.

I thought Raising Hope was terrific... Bizarre and yet believable. I haven't watched many sitcoms since that era either.
