Working Class is an American television sitcom created by Jill Cargerman, which premiered on CMT on January 28, 2011. The network ordered twelve episodes for the comedy, which was the first scripted series for the network.
- The Honeymooners (1955–1956) Appearing somewhere in the middle of the runs of I Love Lucy and Father Knows Best, the mid-1950s were something of a golden age for television in that there was a burgeoning level of sophistication in writing and production, but the rules and tropes hadn’t yet entirely crystallized—Jackie Gleason here plays Ralph Kramden, a New York City bus driver frequently trying to supplement his meagre income via get-rich-quick schemes—their modest apartment signifying the family’s modest means (the same Bensonhurst apartment today would probably place its owner or renter solidly in the middle class, but I digress).
- Julia (1968–1971) Julia brought with it a number of innovations, not the least of which was in its portrayal of a Black woman who wasn’t a maid—very much a novelty in the late 1960s.
- All in the Family (1971–1979) The long reign of Norman Lear as TV’s most challenging and yet still wildly successful producers began here, with the story of the ignorant, narrow-minded, “lovable bigot” Archie Bunker, played with such finesse by Carroll O’Connor that he still manages to garner empathy—and even probably a bit of hero worship among viewers who no doubt missed the point.
- Sanford and Son (1972–1977) Fred Sanford (Redd Foxx) straddles two worlds in his occupation as a junk dealer—though the occupation screams “working class,” Fred’s also the owner of the business, which definitely counts for something.
- Hanah Johnson
- Alias Grace. Alias Grace is Margaret Atwood's lesser-known work. The historical fiction, originally a novel, follows Grace Marks, a child immigrant from Ireland who moved to Canada with her parents and siblings.
- The Simpsons. In the first-ever full episode of The Simpsons, Marge has been saving all year in anticipation of Christmas. Afterward, she is forced to use the money to get a tattoo removal for Bart.
- Judge Judy. Judge Judy is a CBS reality court show that has garnered amazing popularity worldwide. The show features Judge Judith Sheindlin presiding over civil disputes in a faux-court set.
- Bob's Burgers. TV dad Bob Belcher buys his family's clothes from the second-hand charity shop. A man who followed his passion to make great art with burgers, Bob's talent is unappreciated in a town like Wonder Wharf.
