The representation of families in American TV sitcoms

I have chosen to study this topic, because sitcoms are very popular and well known amongst a wide range of audiences. The families in these texts are "traditional" with both mother and father with children and family pets however they are dysfunctinal with exaggerated stereotypes that are well known in society.

All three texts are the broadcast platform:

The Simpsons (1989-present)

Everybody Hates Chris (2005-2009)

Hannah Montanna (2006-present)

Father knows best (1954-1960)
