Wait, so the audience members are the contestants now? The audience voting was 30 seconds out of half-hour show, so even if we pretend it is a game, the other 29:30 of the show is not at all like a game show. Is Late Night with David Letterman a game show when he lets an audience member win a canned ham?

Roseanne won the lottery! Hardly "working class".

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep: Round 3!

My Roseanne challenge was a joke, but as God is my witness I don't think WKRP qualifies.

I don't think radio pays a lot but I would not think of it as working class either.

Plus, you don't see much of the day-to-day life of the characters, just their interactions at work.
