As society has continued to evolve socially, politically and culturally, so has the persona of television. Societal transformations have shape and reshaped television throughout its history. Programs ranging from ethical series to variety shows to family sitcoms mirrored not only the audience taste of entertainment, but also the change of values within society during the increase in television use. Gender roles and a strong sense of family intimacy were among the most prominently highlighted transformations reflected in television. Women and family contribute significantly when analyzing the antiquity of the television. Television programming was designed to emphasize family togetherness through illuminating the importance of domestic household maintenance. Domestic sitcoms, such as The Donna Reed Show exhibited these liberal roles in which women were expected to subjugate to subordinate statuses and confine their

On September 20, 1984 a show aired that changed the way we view gender roles on television. Television still perpetuates traditional gender stereotypes and in reflecting them TV reinforces them by presenting them as the norm (Chandler, 1). The Cosby Show, challenged the typical gender stereotyping of television, daring to go against the dominant social values of its time period. In its challenge of the dominant social view, the show redefined the portrayal of male and female roles in television. It redefined the gender role in the work place, in social expectations, and in household responsibilities. The Cosby Show supported Freidan in her view of “castigating the phony happy housewife heroine of the

Popular culture is the artistic and creative expression in entertainment and style that appeals to society as whole. It includes music, film, sports, painting, sculpture, and even photography. It can be diffused in many ways, but one of the most powerful and effective ways to address society is through film and television. Broadcasting, radio and television are the primary means by which information and entertainment are delivered to the public in virtually every nation around the world, and they have become a crucial instrument of modern social and political organization. Most of today’s television programming genres are derived from earlier media such as stage, cinema and radio. In the area of comedy, sitcoms have proven

Dawson’s Landing sees no difference in someone that is 100% black compared to someone that is 3% black. Tom, being the son of the high ranking Driscoll family, lives an easy and privileged life in Dawson’s Landing. Mark Twain uses these three characters to show that status in society was not obtained by a person’s accomplishments or personality, but rather their lineage and race, as seen with Roxy and Chambers.

Carl explain the dynamics of the family and how important it was to have Don at the initiation of the family session, and asked the family to think if they wanted to be a part of the family they are in, and if they did to call and set up a time for the next session with Don include. Dave did not hesitate and agreed to set up an appointment then and there; he looked over at his wife and asked he if she agreed. Carolyn agreed and towards the end of the session Carl connected with Laura the youngest daughter by engaging her in dialog and asking what she thought about everything that was going on in the family. By doing this Carl was able to show the family how every member of the family has a valuable place in therapy, and it is not just about one person.

The Cosby Show was one of the biggest hits on television. It was about an African-American upper-middle-class black family. The Huxtables lived in a fashionable neighborhood. The dad, Heathcliff, was a well-respected doctor, and the mom, Clair, was a successful attorney. Their only son, Theo, was an underachiever, and the oldest daughter, Sondra, was a college student at Princeton. Their middle daughter, Denise, tested her parents’ patience frequently, but they always loved her. Rudy, the baby of the family, had a wonderful, entertaining childhood. All of the Huxtable kids were loved and steered clear of serious trouble. They never really had to worry about money.

Parenthood is a fictional television series that follows the lives of the Braverman family. The family consists of Zeek and Camille Braverman, their four children: Adam, Sarah, Crosby, and Julia, the husbands and wives of their children, and the grandchildren. I watched the first episode of season one. The Braverman family centers their lives on family. It is of the upmost importance to them and the grandparents make sure it remains that way. They had numerous family dinners in the episode as well as a lot of family interaction (Katims, 2010).

These two brothers, separated at a young age by Raymond's exceptional condition, find themselves later in life brought together by their father's death. The drama begins with a young man (Charlie) sorting through his acceptance with his father's death, or shall I say basically waiting to find out exactly what his inheritance may be. The Babbot family never really had a history of "togetherness," as Charlie and Raymond's mother lost her life at their young age. After her death Raymond was sent off to WallBrook, a facility meeting the needs of exceptional people. As the inheritance is read to Charlie, he finds himself left with only a Buick convertible and a rose bush, while the rest of his father's $3.5 million estate was left to a trustee.

The main differences between the Schlegel family and the Wilcox family arise from their contrasting levels of empathy and appreciation. Early in the film, Aunt Juley comments that Helen—and Margaret included—had a German father which led to their appreciation of the arts and literature. This keen interest in literature and other forms of expression exposes an apparent difference between the two families as the Wilcoxes do not share the admiration and sometimes actively oppose it. Furthermore, the Wilcoxes do not share the empathy of Schlegels, particularly Mr. Wilcox and his sons. Initially, they are seen completely disregarding the dying wish of Mrs. Wilcox because transferring Howards End to Margaret was not in their own interests. Along with this, Mr. Wilcox subscribes to a

“The Middle” is one of the funniest and relatable shows on T.V. The Middle is about an average family from Orson Indiana, who go through the struggles of life. This is a family favorite because it’s relatable. Axl, the eldest son is a popular jock, who does poorly at school he is the stereotypically big brother who torments his younger siblings.
