By that logic you should also love Sex and the City, or at least the movies.

But honestly, I feel like a lot of TV shows are like this: there's an expectation that people won't want to tune in to watch people just like them working hard and coming home exhausted from, like, blue collar jobs if they're looking for escapism. They want, as you say, to live vicariously through wealthier characters. But in the TV world, even people doing jobs that usually don't make tons of money end up living those great, worry-free lives. So...yeah, not really going anywhere with that, other than that impulse toward vicarious watching is pretty common and actually what a lot of characters' professions are chosen in mind of.

Yeah. Frasier is perhaps near the top end of these things, but I feel like 90% of TV is about people whom I would consider very well-off?

The houses, the clothes, the product-placed electronics. Even when the text tells you they're not rich, the trappings contradict it.

It was actually kind of a rude awakening for me the day I realised - holy shit - these people in this sitcom/fantasy/sci-fi/police procedural have waaaaay more money than anyone I know.

[brooms]

but if we're looking at escapism/a desire to live large, "vaguely well-off" doesn't really make for as great a fantasy as "emphatically rich".

that's why i assume frasier or any other character' whose privileged socioeconomic status is openly part of the set-up and often discussed >>>> the protags of, idk, friends?
