I am sick of seeing the rich and powerful on my screen. Where are all the TV shows about normal people?

Why do you need a show about normal people?
You're surrounded by normal people
We want to see a show about normal people that just happen to be more interesting than the normal person you are.
Money doesn't make people more interesting, it usually makes them far less interesting.
The life stories of the people around you are likely more interesting than anything a Hollywood screenwriter can come up with
Yeah. Enough of celebrities going on and on about their introspections, how this experience will grow their personality. Show the guy that spend years building a model train track in his garage.
Exactly... Fuck that lifestyle.
Reattach to reality.
Married with Children was super fun and about normal people.
