Working Class is an American television sitcom created by Jill Cargerman, which premiered on CMT on January 28, 2011.[1] The network ordered twelve episodes for the comedy, which was the first scripted series for the network.[1]
On April 11, 2011, CMT cancelled Working Class after only one season, due to low ratings.[2]
According to a press release, "the ... series follows Carli Mitchell (Melissa Peterman), a single mom from a rough and tumble background, trying to give her three kids a better life by moving them to an upscale suburb. She quickly finds that making the transition to 'the good life' is harder than she thought."[3]
Brian Lowry of Variety panned the series, writing that "On paper, structuring a show around the recession must have felt bold...Ultimately, this is a comedy for people who find Jeff Foxworthy’s material too intellectually demanding."[4]
