What's changed is that you'd never see a scene like this in a network sitcom.
As a white, poor, rural illinoisan, I can say this show did being in that situation pretty well. Their house was bigger than ours and their family smaller, but still.
Malcolm in the Middle showed precariat family life so accurately at times that it hurt.
That show did a good job, but it still felt weird sometimes. Like, two kids were geniuses? And the eldest was at a private school? It was good, with some really relatable parts, but like Hal worked a desk job. I dunno.
Married With Children was supposedly about a "loser" who could somehow maintain a large house and a family on a single income working at a shoe store.
The flaw is with rich producers and directors having to guess about what the poors put up with and being wrong sometimes.
did i hallucinate her running for president in some socialist third party like 10 or 15 years ago before her chuddening?
