The American Family in Television
Leave it to Beaver- The TV show leave it to beaver is very different from today generation of a family. The moms are stay at home mom and take care of the family. The dad does all of the work and provides for the family. One of the issues the family has to deal with that the mom loses her voice before she had to sing on Christmas. They over come it by putting a remedy around her neck and not talking and it worked. That family was like the modern day normal family back then.
Brady Bunch- The Brady Bunch is about a very big family who doesn't have a lot of money. They all live together and do a lot of family activities. Once again the dad provides while the mom stays at home and takes care of the house. The family does come across a couple problems like the daughter gets arrested for hiding narcotics from the police and gets caught. Another problem was the father and the son get into arguments all the time an d the family is getting tired of it. The son decided to move out and start to live on his own. This family is different from today's families because today's families generally don't have that many children. Also the women work and help provide like the men of the house.
Modern Family- The show, modern family, is how the world is today. The family are all different. There are gay couples that adopt children. There is also an older man who marries a young beautiful women. That is like today people marry whoever they want and don't have to live up to standards. They have issues like any other modern family. For example, Phil doesn't take good care of the kids and is not a bright guy.
