Seems like a pretty cushy job to me. I don't have any panic button under my desk.

Seriously people? Auf Wiedersehen, Pet?

Boys from the Blackstuff was amazing too. Not comedy per se, but a lot of black humour. What about Only Fools and Horses? Couldn't call that white collar...

What about The King of Queens, American sitcom focused on the life of a UPS driver? Might not count since that's not the constant setting though.

How are cops classified? I mean, there are a ton of cop comedy shows, not least among them Police Squad! (in color) and Brooklyn Nine-Nine...

it's just that since I'm not a native speaker the finer shades of the terms white/blue collar are vague to me, I actually had to google it. My reasoning was it's not really white collar since it's not a comfortably paid office job but also not blue collar since it's not manual labour? But maybe with technological advances blue collar = manual labour is an outdated definition?

If you can be described as a "schlub" then you are blue collar.

Maybe "grey-collar" in between blue and white collar.
