Sitcoms today have completely done away with what was the “formula” for a sitcom, single parents, interracial couples, LGBTQ couples as the parents, as well as having multiple kids, 4-5, having foster children, interracial children even LGBTQ children have become the social norm for a Suburban

The word stereotype in the dictionary should include a picture of the fictional character Archie Bunker, from the 1970s sitcom titled “All in the Family.’ It is hard to find just one example of an episode that showcases the level this character will stoop to stereotype someone; however, I selected an episode titled, (Sammy’s Visit), that is considered one of the sitcoms finest.

During the White Hollywood Cinema era, the Black African-American actors played the role of black stereotypes, and they also performed small parts in those films. D.W Griffith produced a racist film that had black stereotypes in it; the name of the film is Birth of a Nation. However, Oscar Micheaux made a film that responded back to D.W Griffith’s movie, which was Within Our Gates. He paved the way for other black African-Americans, which empowered them to speak out through their own films and movies. Spike Lee was influenced by Oscar Micheaux. He wanted to give the black community a voice just like Oscar Micheaux. Spike Lee turned himself into a revolutionary by the way he produced and directs his films. He is so fearless and always pushing

According to the TV program Beverly Hillbillies season 1 episode 2, I agree with the viewpoint of Michelle Dean that this program exploits hillbilly, redneck, and white trash stereotypes. In this TV drama, it depicts a story of a family who comes from the rural area in America and moves to the Beverly hill, which is known as the wealthy neighborhood, and something that the urban people think funny and silly happened to them. One of the most impressive plots is that, in this play, it present those who are called the hillbillies as rude, dumb people that lack education. For example, they don't know how to use a stove, and have no idea about what is a refrigerator, and even regard a flamingo as a big chicken, which exaggeratively stereotyped the

Now, you all know Dr Seuss. Who doesn’t, right? He’s a legend! Green Eggs and Ham, Cat in the Hat, One Fish Two Fish… there can’t be a single person under the age of 60 that doesn’t know about him, right? Such a great guy, really, a lovely dude. Except when it comes to the case of racism, especially towards the Japanese during World War 2. We all know that people from different countries look different, and we all know that it’s not politically correct or socially acceptable in any way to call people out on these differences. But Dr Seuss used his cartoons to do exactly this, portraying the Japanese as inhumane, un-relatable, animalistic creatures. And it’s these kind of generalisations that still exist to cause stereotypes today.

Seinfeld was a three time winning Golden Globe comedy show that aired on television between 1989 and 1998.

Firstly, All in the Family was a sitcom show first came out in 1971 and technically ended in 1979; however, the show was renamed to Archie Bunker’s Place and went on until 1983. All in the Family was about Archie Bunker, a blue collared worker and a prejudiced person, bickering with his family about events and issues of the day. All in the Family also had many spin-offs, including The Jeffersons. The Jeffersons was also a sitcom show that first came out in 1975 and ended a decade later; The Jeffersons was about the lives George and Louise Jefferson, a thriving African-American couple, and their relationships with other residents of their apartment. These shows were popular because they were extremely relatable sitcoms about recent cultural and social changes and issues in a way that not many other shows did.

Since the beginning of 2015, much debate in popular cultural discourse has involved the Academy Award “snubbing” of the hit 2014 drama Selma. Critics lauded the film as a cinematic masterpiece; Rotten Tomatoes, a noted outlet for professional and amateur film criticism honored Selma with an outstanding rating of 98%, one of the highest ratings from last season.

Pop culture commentators and much of the general public viewed the lack

Evolution of Family Sitcoms “Blood is thicker than water.” A saying commonly heralded by family members in order to reaffirm the importance of family unity. These words spoke loudly to the entertainment industry as they were trying to create new content for television. Situational comedies were quite popular, but there was a lack of relation to family audiences. The most logical step was to combine the two.

Stereotypes, is a way for society to put people into a category, and they are not expected to go beyond those expectations. People could either let these stereotypes define who they are and what they will be or they can take control and be who they want to be and do what they want to do in their life, going beyond the expectations. Hedwig Kiesler, or as many people know her Hedy Lamarr, was under a stereotype that she didn’t approve of, and she took over her life and did what made her happy. Lamarr was under many stereotypes with being a woman and an actress, but she never settled for what people saw her as, because she saw herself as so much more. Because she saw herself as more than “The most beautiful women in the world” (Rhodes: pg. 2-3) she accomplished so much and we, society, benefit from her accomplishments every day. Lamarr was an amazing actress but she was also an amazing inventor that made a “communications system that
