I don't know "King of Queens"--but I do know that a lot of TV about "blue collar life" (or whatever's below that; a blue collar job is a step or two up from where most of my friends are) is hideously inaccurate.
In "Dharma and Greg," Dharma and her family & friends are supposed to be outcast hippie-freaks in SF. Setting aside the notion of several outcast hippie-freaks having their own nifty apartments in neighborhoods where Greg's family isn't terrified to visit... none of them seem to be employed at supermarkets or record stores (or three different shops); none of them are wearing oversized, ugly secondhand clothes when they're just hanging around the house; their kitchen appliances all work... I thought there must be some kind of trust fund involved.

Hell, what are the "working class" shows?
