TV shows about people with unconventional jobs for TV-show characters (with the job)

  1. Movin’ On (truck drivers)

(I was thinking about the '70s shows from the previous category, which is why another '70s show sprang immediately to mind.)

TV shows about people with unconventional jobs for TV-show characters (with the job)

  1. Movin’ On (truck drivers)
  2. Alice (waitresses)
  3. Scandal (spin doctor)

Some reviewer mentioned this new show was the first TV series to use this profession.

Considering how many millions and millions and millions of active duty and former military/military brats there are, it’s amazing how underrepresented they are on TV.

Topic “tv shows” implies programs on television, but it also mentions “characters,” which implies fiction. If it’s general, I think the show Dirty Jobs is the essence of the OP. But opening it to non-fiction suggests a flood of TLC etc. shows that seem out of line with the topic. Then again, despite the ‘reality’ moniker, they are heavily fictionalized.

So, would adding Dirty Jobs be a dirty thing?

yes. :smiley:
