Based on a study of every sitcom that has aired since the 1950s, this panoramic view of the complex interaction between American society and television, is a fascinating chronicle of the changes occurring in the medium with regard to sexual relationships, crime and violence, business, politics, religion, and more. ...(it) tells us a great deal about what the producers of television would have the American people believe...--Aaron Wildavsky, University of California, Berkeley.
