Which were lower middle class when it came out. Plenty of plot lines revolved around money being tight.
3 kids, 2 cars, a house, all on one salary these days? Unthinkable.
Frank Grimes episode already made fun of it in season 8 because it was dated by 1997.
A single worker's salary afforded him an apartment above a bowling alley and below another bowling alley. Homer could miraculously afford lobster for dinner, a stay at home wife, a 2.5 storey house, 2 cars, a cat, a dog and a drinking habit while being a college dropout.
As you say they lampshaded it already.
But Homer got his safety inspector job he was unqualified in season 1 as a bribe from Mr Burns after he got fired from a more menial job at the plant and became an anti-nuclear activist.
He then finished his needed college courses in Season 5.
Also he's a union man.
