I just assume that is what middle class life looked like back then.

When I was a kid, I thought people who lived like that were just on TV. Middle class existence was as relevant to my experience as robot maids and talking cars.

Honestly I'm still a little suspicious. Hollywood contrivances are a history of how we think of ourselves, not of how we are.
