IIRC, Danny was a sports broadcaster right?That house in Full House was probably worth a million dollars even back in 1991.
Malcolm in the Middle.
Rugrats did episodes on Jewish holidays.I too recently watched Rugrats for the first time in years. Thanks Passover episode. I was surprised how much more grounded it felt compared to practically every other kids show I've seen lately.
Abe helped them buy the house.
Deep Rugrats lore and all, but Grampa Lou used to own a mechanic shop with the family home above it. He probably had enough money to help Stu buy a house.
He makes $360ish a weekSimpsons isn't strange. Homer is a Nuclear Operator. They make six figure incomes (at least here in Alabama). So in suburbia middle America he'd have a home, an RV, a boat, and whatever else he wants as long as he wasn't drowning in debt from student loans...
No it wasn't, this was upper-middle to upper class depending on the location.
I know. It was a big event back in the day in our Jewish community. I still remember my friend and I watching it when it first aired.Rugrats did episodes on Jewish holidays.
That was rare for kids shows.
So was Homer making $10 an hour?
Thinking about it out of all the 90s-early 00s Sitcoms theirs was the only one that down to earth and was more true to life then the others as they were on the verge of poverty etc.None of these characters should be able to own homes. Only accurate depiction we had growing up was Malcolm In The Middle.
Imagine you work 50+ hours a week at Conglom-O and your neighbor works at a fucking comic book shop.
Spongebob lived there before the job. I always assume his parents bought it for him or something similar.
What did Howard and Betty do?
I think Chaz had some office job
Drew was an accountant and Charlotte was some kind of executive
Suzi's parents Lucy and Randy were a doctor and TV writer
both Spongebob and Squidward work at a fast food restaurant and live in multi story homes. It's even joked on at least one occasion they both pay Mr. Krabs to work there, rather than get paid for working there.
No, no it wasn't.
This is similar to the McCallisters house in home alone which was considered the wealthiest house on a block of incredibly wealthy houses, where the parents can fly their entire family to Paris for Christmas and afford first class tickets.
I wonder more how the Simpsons can afford a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom house with just Homer's paycheck.
This. Stu's problem, from what I remember, always seemed to be he wanted to do the next big thing instead of constantly reiterating on popular toys. So when he hit it he really knocked it out of the park. I mean, remember when he went to Paris to sell something to Reptar Land? You don't do that shit unless you're a big shot.
Only someone with an Uncle at Nintendo would think this.
I mean the show "Roseanne" (yeah I know she's a right wing crackpot these days) was ahead of it's time.
In season 3 Larry and Balki get new jobs, Larry a reporter working in the basement of the newspaper and Balki in the mail room, and they get a BIGGER apartment. Plus their girlfriends are stewardesses and live in the same apartment as them. (the first one)
That's what I was making at my job that I just left. Can I have a house?
It is a very John Hughes-looking house. A lot of his characters (with few exceptions) were rather wealthy and lived in that upper-middle to upper class range. Even the Griswolds were pretty well off.This is similar to the McCallisters house in home alone which was considered the wealthiest house on a block of incredibly wealthy houses, where the parents can fly their entire family to Paris for Christmas and afford first class tickets.
This, dude was head of what was basically a Disney Imagineering project
Good Times had a whole family living In a tiny apartment. That show was way too real and deep.Do any of these shows ever have multiple peeps living crammed in a tiny ass apartment? I feel like Hey Arnold got the closest with the boarding house and everyone having to fight over one bathroom, but even then Arnold had his own room complete with all sorts of fancy shit.
Like, even the Malcolm in the Middle home looks fancy as shit to me. They had both a front and back yard. Although I guess a tiny set wouldn't make for good TV.
Same with the simpsons, homer lazes around work all day eating donuts but can afford a house and 3 kids and be able to hit the bar up regularly.

To be fair to the Simpsons
Lenny is college educated and seemingly higher up the ladder than Homer. Also has no kids or wife to pay for.
