Like this one. Don't give me recent ones. Older ones, before this century.
I can think of Home Improvement, Cosby Show, Family Matters, Full House. What are some others?

I don't think Cosby Show was middle class. There was an episode where Vanessa talks about other girls making fun of her being rich. Vanessa complains to her parents about being rich and her parents remind her that she isn't rich, they are. lol

Yeah, the Cosby Show was definitely not middle class. The whole premise was to show an upper-class black family on TV for the first time.
Also, I'm not sure I would call Full House middle class just based on where they lived (San Francisco) in an extremely nice house. They never seemed to struggle for much financially.
And was the Mr. Belvedere family really middle class? I mean they had a live-in butler for god's sake! Lol. And I don't even think the wife worked for a majority of the show's run. I always wondered why they needed a butler in the first place.
One show that comes to mind when I think "middle class" is Still Standing. Although, I think it was from this century. Maybe early 2000's. It was very reminiscent of Roseanne. I think it may have even had some of the same writers and directors. It was a pretty funny show.

I LOVED Still Standing. I wish I could get that entire series on dvd. They used to rerun it but not anymore. I miss it.

yup, Still Standing was post-2000. but he was a mall salesman, she was a dental hygienist/assistant. Neither made big bucks, so of course they had a house they couldn't afford in an upscale-ish Chicago neighborhood.
Mark was funny, but you know we watched it for Jami. mmmm..... ๎๎๎
no clue what he's up to? He did a couple series for UK TV (Trollied, some lottery sitcom), and Game of Thrones, of course, not sure what else, maybe more stage work?
She had that alien neighbors sitcom a little while back?
Joel still does character work when not "looking for work" on the back 9s. oh, and the "Whose Line? Live" traveling show. he said on FB they called Mark the "Prince of Wales"?

The Huxtables weren't the first upper class black family. The Jeffersons were. If Bill Cosby is under the impression he made his show the first depiction of a rich black family, he's sadly delusional.

Kramer: ...he was very impressed with what I do.
Elaine: What you do? You don't do anything!
Growing Pains and Dick Van Dyke were both Upper Middle Class.
Well, Everybody Loves Raymond debuted in the '90s, but obviously went off the air after that. I'd also like the second The Simpsons.
Maybe Boy Meets World, too.
Roseanne was the first show to demonstrated real struggles, though. A lot of the shows mentioned, while definitely middle class, seemed to gloss over a lot of middle class issues.
