TV Families and Real Families

As early as 1950, the family of the TV drew not only our way of living today, but also the way we should live (Tueth, 2003). As a result, television continues to present comedies about family life from traditional educational models in the home to stepwise non-traditional lifestyles. Traditionalist, I mean the explanation of a "nuclear" family including clear lines, responsibilities and lines of moderate power, from clever fathers and comprehending mothers to obedient children (Kutalas, 2005 ).

In the 1950s, television was regarded as a type of home entertainment. Most American families have only one TV, and in the evening many families gather to see the show. Recognizing this trend, these networks produce programs suitable for general audiences, such as variety shows and family comedies. From the beginning, fictional television families frequently reflect and sometimes even influence the real life of American families. The TV house in the early 1950's showed some diversity, but they did not represent the lifestyle of all Americans. For example, there are a traditional nuclear family of parents and children, a couple without children, and a large family living together. While other people live in suburbs and rural areas some television families live in cities. However, the only ethnic family on TV is recent immigrants from European countries such as Ireland and Italy.

In early comedy performances, a member of the Brady family gained the position of prominent pop culture. But the young Gen-Xers took them to another level, and they spent the after school afternoon playing a lovely lady, a man named Brady and their six children .

Some of the most popular television shows in the 1980s were prime time soap operas for wealthy and powerful families. Programs like Dallas and Dynasty introduce the luxury of upper class lifestyle. However, families in the center of these theaters have various emotional and human relations problems. In the 1990s, in general, television programs began to appear more disabled families, ranging from real family quarrels to stunning daytime talk shows, Rausanne family conflicts, and Simpsons comedies . .
