I think is one of the only family comedy were they're a working class family. In every other show, everyone is rich.
The Simpsons straddles that line. They only have that house because his father won a fixed gamble. They drive outdated and dented up cars, they can't afford steak whenever Homer wants it. An entire episode was dedicated to them trying to fix the foundation on the house.
Then you have the Frank Grimes episode dedicated to completing poking at all of the holes of that working class family facade.
Only realized the other day that that's one of the things "in the middle" means, in addition to him being the middle child and in the middle of things.
