Introduction
Jerry Miller purchases Gideon, a new all-purpose household robot — believing it will restore happiness and order to his bickering family.
We might even speculate that the proliferation and popularity of broken families on television entertainment genres was in some sense a way our society responded to and aesthetically resolved the loss of our nation's father and the dream or nuclear family life that he and Jackie represented at the time.
Perhaps because these families were extremely wealthy, audiences could view their problems as a symptom of upper-crust decadence rather then a more general failure in American family life experienced by people of all social backgrounds.
Pat Robertson's Family Channel is an example of how the Christian right has used cable to rekindle the passion for a particular kind of family life, mostly associated with the middle-class family ideals of the l950s and early l960s.
Right out of the box, the widespread reaction to the Foley episode was that it would hurt the Republicans with their "base" of Christian and moral conservatives.
"Familyvalues" is more than a political slogan to be pulled off the shelf at election time.
For too long liberals have reacted against the idea of familyvalues because they wrongly accepted it as a conservatives-only slogan.
