Family Television Review The comedy show that my family and I enjoy watching is House of Payne, which airs on TBS every Friday at 8pm. “The Paynes are three generations living under one roof. The story begins when CJ and his family move into the house of his aunt and uncle, a fact that no one is really happy about. CJ has two children, and his aunt and uncle have very different ideas about raising kids. I think a lot of people will be able to relate to the Paynes”. (http://www.tbs.com/stories/story/0,, 107846,00.html). The show is based off real life issues that everyday families experience such as, drug addiction, teen pregnancy, sex, marriage, morals and values, and most of all trust. As, a 23 year old, mother, student, wife, daughter etc, I was able to quickly

This family did impact my life on what family really was because, I always have been the one to just think of my immediate (Mom, Dad, Brothers, Grandma) when I heard the word family. Now, that things have been introduced to me from different perspective, I am now able to fully understand what family is all about. I realize that when I have no one else to count on, that my family is the last hope I have, and also understand that sometimes I may have disagreements with relatives, but its ok because as long as there is communication, nothing is to hard to overcome, All of these things are key points that House of Payne focus on. After watching this show consistently, it has had a very positive impact on me, my family, my marriage and my ability to raise my children at such a young age. Although, these actors, and actresses are acting, they are real people and majority are related, such as the main characters, Cassi and Lavan Davis, who are husband and wife in real life. I enjoy watch the way the reveal each message because they all have a valuable lesson that I learn. This television series is a Christian based show, so I think that is the

    This assignment proved to be a very difficult one for me, for the very fact that I just don’t watch a lot of television at all. I don’t find much of anything at all that is entertaining to me. So many of the sit coms today have such a dysfunctional portrayal of families and I find that many of them down right degrade and show nothing but disrespect for the father’s especially. Nonetheless I chose to use “The Cosby Show” as my program of choice because it is one I used to watch when I did find time for television viewing and found it somewhat entertaining.…

    In this era, television has become an even bigger source of entertainment than it was back then. Producers often want shows that will keep people anxious and watching. This includes basing characters and story lines off of fictional subjects. It would be far too boring to watch TV about a normal, everyday family. As Ehrenreich states, “And what they do do – watch television – is far too boring to be televised for more than a fraction of a second…” This is exactly why people do not want to come home and watch TV about just another typical family or another average person. What people want now-a-days is to be entertained. Even in the show Modern Family, the title contrasts what the sitcom is about. The…

    In March of 2012 an ingénues comedy show aired for the first time. That show was miraculously called Duck Dynasty. This showed opened the eyes of America proclaiming that a show can have clean humor and support family love and still be a good show! Down in the South, people “ate it up” because it was a very comical, clean. Christian based show. But what should we call such a show like this one? “Reality series? Sitcom? Religious Television? Anthropological study?” Well according to Mr. Richard Lindsay,” Duck Dynasty is all of these.” I strongly believe that after this one show has aired that it set high standards of what new upcoming shows should try to reach. This one show s the media and public eye that a show doesn’t have to have half naked women, alcohol, drugs, or even sinful drama for a television show to be “Off the Chart” good! So other than clean Comedy what else are you getting from Duck Dynasty? Well you get to see what Christ can do in a family. People are exposed to the love the Robertson family has toward one another even when they disagree on things and see things in different ways, Alan noted. He also stated, “When you see the show, you can tell we [Robertson Family] enjoy being around one another…” (CP reporter Melissa Barnhart). Ideally looking through the Worlds point of view this is ideally what a Christian based family should look like when it come to challenges and difficulties and working together to make one heart, soul and mind. According to F. Eric Douglas of,”Duck Dynasty is a positive example of Matthew 5:13-16:…

    This conversational article written by Karen Holland is one that gives an opinion based piece that describes the relationships of a specific T.V. sitcom and how we can learn from that sitcom as well as others. The specific sitcom specified is titled Modern Family, I which the author particularly likes. Though Holland does not describe Modern Family relationships in detail, she generalizes the relationships of sitcoms as a whole. She does this by describing the characteristics of the relationships such as the fact that the couples accept each other’s flaws completely and all conflicts are resolved in thirty minutes or less. By the end of the piece Holland says we should rewrite out own relationship “scripts” to make our…

    The way a family works has changed in the last decade or two. Back when this generations parents were kids and even when their parents were young, it is very different than young people today. A perfect example would be the television show “Leave it to Beaver”, which aired in 1957. It was about the Cleavers, an All American Family, trying to keep their youngest son Theodore “Beaver” out of trouble. He always finds his way into trouble, at the end of the episode his parents always help him by giving him advice an good life lessons. That show represents how families were close and protected each other. Now, in the 21st century, many families and even communities…

    Many television shows portray the lives of typical American families; both African American and European American. I have chosen to compare and contrast two television shows: Family Matters and Home Improvement. The two shows are surprisingly similar in many aspects, but there are a few differences in the communication styles and other aspects of the two families. Communication theories can be used to help show and analyze the communication between each family. These theories include interactional, dialectics, speech community, and cultivation. Do prime time television shows really represent and portray the differences and stereotypes between African American and European American families?…

    Television network ABC Family’s breakout comedy series, Modern Family, is a show full of life lessons and hidden meanings. Most television shows nowadays are all about sex, alcohol, and the dramas that occur because of them. Modern Family is not an exception, however it focuses more on the family aspect of life’s many dramas. On the surface, it is similar to the sex and drugs filled television shows that consume the media these days, but underneath that surface each episode has a moral to be learned, and the show overall represents many different assumptions America makes on what a “typical” family is.…

    Today, the media’s portrayal of family life is mainly accurate, even though some portrayals may depict otherwise. Many movies show how families interact and give back to their communities. For example, in the move The Blind Side, the Tuohy family offers up their home to a homeless boy, Michael Oher. This one good deed reflects family life accurately as it shows how families do charity work. Although many families do not give back to their community in such an extreme way, it is promising to see that the media portrays this aspect of family life. Another example where family life is depicted realistically is in Disney’s…

    Since its 2005 debut, Seth McFarlane’s American Dad! has been among Fox Television’s popular sitcoms. This animated feature chronicles the day-to-day lives of the Smith family of fictionalized Langley Falls, Virginia.
