television changes

This was actually my favorite topic because I am a requent television watcher. I always stumble upon shows like Leave it To Beaver and The Dick Van Dyke Show, and really I am just amazed by how much times have changed. Yes, America has changed but was it television that changed America or did America change television? I believe that people changed television through the different generations. What we talked about in class is how they portray different genders, ages, sexes, and races is true in my opinion people always talk how America is a melting pot. Well, in my opinion I think there are more Joe the plumbers then successful doctors. At the same time I think it is more entertaining to watch shows about Joe the plumber then the person that is successful, because in reality no one can really relate to people that have tons of money.
