I think that most shows, especially those directed toward a younger audience, represent the upper class. Stations like MTV, VH1, Food channels, and even nickelodean all represent upper class. This constant advertisement of upper class conveys an idea of glory and luxury. These tv shows make the upper class look so damn amazing that of course anyone in the lower classes are going to envy those who belong to the upper class.
I can't name a single tv show that resembles/represents the lower classes. Why aren't these classes represented in television? Is it because capitalism has such a hold on society that the elitists who run the tv corporations won't allow them to be aired? or is it because the lower, middle, and upper class of society wouldn't find these shows to be entertaining? No matter what, I think it is wrong that lower class television shows are not being aired on network television.
