Those are all interesting cases that I had in mind when writing the parent post. At the risk of sounding the "No true scotsman" alarm, to me, many are just evidence that contemporary TV needs a pretty big dose of the fantastic (Kimmy Schmidt and 30 Rock). To me, even the most "everyday" of those fall prey to the usual U.S. tendency to elide class at all costs - even the no-good slackers in a lot of these shows seem to have the comforts of someone in the top 20%.
