[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love this show.  I laugh the whole time.  [b]I can't believe how clueless and wealthy Midge is[/b], like when she was waiting for her bags to be brought up at the motel.  The show is realistic enough that it is relatable, but unrealistic and crazy too.[/quote]

They weren't actually "wealthy".  Their lives were completely subsidized by Columbia University, since Abe is a tenured professor there.  So that gorgeous apartment is owned by Columbia, so that basically frees up their money so they can spend it on things that make them seem wealthy, if that makes sense.

Not sure if you've watched the second season yet - SPOILER below.....

Abe loses his research project at Bell Labs (long story), and he decides to leave his tenured position at Columbia, so they're forced to move out of that apartment. [/quote]

I agree. I don't understand how people think they are "wealthy" if their home is being subsidized by Columbia. Now that they have revealed that detail it explains a whole lot about their life. Another thing to note is that Midge had to give up her own apartment when her and Joel separated.[/quote]
