You've hit a good point there. That being that TV is not supposed to be reflective of real life. Sitcoms are *exaggerated* versions of the lives most people lead. That's why they're funny. And why people on them can live in huge pads that they could never afford in real life.
As for "blue collar" shows, well, I just take that as meaning shows where the characters don't have much money. But, honestly, that's a pretty shallow way of looking at it. Since not having much money or having a traditionally blue collar job doesn't mean that the person acts in ways typically connected to the blue collar lifestyle.
