Preferred term

television portrayals of family  

Definition

  • The public seems constantly to be concerned about the way families are depicted in television, and the past three United States administrations have each addressed this concern with strong rhetoric. The administration of George H. W. Bush is best known for this, as he advised American families to be a lot more like The Waltons and a lot less like The Simpsons.
