Summary

"Designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate level courses on media effects, media and culture, and mass communication, Television Families provides an expansive examination of television family life. It critically evaluates the extent to which real family life and relationships infiltrate life in popular families, particularly those on television, and, in doing so, establishes an explicit framework in which to examine and evaluate issues associated with television families."--Jacket.
