Are there any sitcoms on TV that reflect the middle class family accurately?

I don't think they make any now.

You have to go back to Cosby to find a worthwhile middle class family sit-com show. Recently, I have been enjoying a DVD set of 100 Ozzie and Harriet shows. While the plots are often corny, it's refreshing to see some parenting, some respect from kids for their parents and other adults (even as they near adulthood), and situations that have a morale or lesson to be learned. The same thing holds true for Father Knows Best, The Donna Reed Show, Leave It to Beaver, and Family Ties. Just as you are what you eat, you are what you watch. Today's network television is a bigger "vast wasteland" than FCC chairman Newton Minow claimed in the 1960s.

There aren't very many new sitcoms being made anymore. According to Jim and the Bill Engvall Show (TBS) are the only two that are really about middle class families that I know of.

My husband is like Raymond in "Everybody Loves Raymond" and I am Debra. My mum acts like Marie, my dad was like Frank, my older brother like Robbie (he lived with my parents and finally got married at 38) and Debra's parents are like my husbands parents.

Additional 10 hours later :

There was a show in Australia called "Kingswood Country" which very funny and quite real - many people in Oz had Holden Kingswood stationwagons, there was the crotchety dad constantly swatting flies, the harried mum, the university son and the older sister who married an Italian (dago). Made in the 70's

Also "The Sullivan's" about a family from 1938 to 1946, was this shown in the UK and America ? It was made in the late 70's and early 80's.

I used to love watching "The Walton's".

I can't relate to any sitcoms lately either. Good question. I don't think the new shows are as good as the old ones either. I hate to say this but I think a lot of these shows are on the to silly to believe side.

Everybody loves Raymond

I wouldn't say tha t 'All in the Family' was an accurate representation of my family, but there were some very prejudiced family members with a narrow outlook, like Archie. Not bad people, but you wished that they weren't so close-minded.

I like the fifties shows, even though did happy endings, whats wrong with that, They taught good morals and you always felt better after watching them You didn't have kids screaming at or cursing their parents.

I wiht you. I don't like any of them today. But Roseann show was trash to me. I miss those wholesome family shows of the fiftys an sixtys

I never found any sitcoms that reflected my home life then and none now. Except for granny in the Beverly Hills hillbilly sitcom. I did have one of those grandmas,she was a pip! =)

"King of the hill" is the only show I know of in which the parents are not portrayed as complete idiots and the kids aren't always smart mouth brats.

The characters are from various ethnic groups and every one has their negatives as well as their positives.
