I didn't watch television as a child, but I do now and I'd say I'm still very ignorant of the norms/values of social classes 2 or more degrees below my own.
Keep in mind that television itself has significant class segmentation. The vast majority of characters on shows I watch are from my class or present as such.
On the occasion that I do see something from a lower class, it's quite jarring and I also have a lot of trouble differentiating race and class in such scenarios (>90% of the "lower class" characters I see are African-American).
