[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middle class TV families from the 80s/90s would be recategorized as UMC families in 2021.  Families Ties, Who’s the Boss, Growing Pains, My So Called Life, Life Goes On, Wonder Years etc.

Roseanne & Married with Children are exceptions. [/quote]

But they were not presented to us as UMC in the 1980s and 1990s.[/quote]

Wasn’t the mom on who’s the boss running a company?  And growing pains-was the dad a dr?
I think they were definitely UMC families. No idea about the other shows.

Yup, they were all UMC professionals or business owners. The Growing Pains dad was a psychiatrist. Family Ties mom was an architect. Mom on Who's the Boss was a corporate executive. My So Called Life mom owned a printing company. Etc.[/quote]

And yet....we considered them middle class American families. Only through today’s eyes do we say they’re UMC. [/quote]

Not everyone did. 
They seemed rich to me, and to others I know. 
My parents didn’t have office jobs. No one on those shows was working overnights.   No factories.
