Hi Everyone As some of you may know, I am in-between jobs. For some reason I have been watching a bit of TV between 5-7, while I am cooking or eating dinner. I have been watching the TV sitcom King of Queens. While I am sometimes embarrassed on the part of one of the protagonists, Doug (he is so horrifyingly, stupifyingly "manly") the couple seem to be situated in deep working class conditions. As I write, Doug and his colleagues are in the midst of organised labour bargaining, a line of dialogue of which has been "I'm on the picket line six hours a day"... One other show, Everybody Loves Raymond seems more petite bourgeois (as opposed to the apparently lumpenproletariat King of Queens) and is more uglier, as it were. I'm sorry to waste your time on silly things like this, but does anyone have any views on these?
