Most of the folks residing in TV today likely came from modest or working class backgrounds, poor through middle class families, not upper middle class or above. They developed their ability to get and hold decent jobs by learning a skilled trade, or obtained a college education working their way through a state university or via a scholarship at a more expensive and perhaps exclusive private college. Over their lifetimes they worked hard, sacrificed to raise and educate their children and prudently saved to achieve a comfortable retirement. Most are over the age of 55 years. I suppose in this sense they fit into a "narrow demographic with a narrow perspective". One thing is certain, I admire, hold a lot of respect for and like such people!
