Explain how the values work (how they are meant to impact the viewer and sitcom)

Paper Requirements:
Due Date: February 27
Paper Requirements:
Compare and contrast two family sitcom TV shows – one from the 1950’s, 1960’s, or 1970’s and one from today (2000 and later). Discuss how they are similar and/or different in values presented in the sitcoms.
Your thesis and overall purpose of the paper should prove how the two family shows reflect and influence values. Are the sitcoms (values) a reflection of society or do they influence society?
In the paper, you will compare and/or contrast the two TV shows to enlighten readers about both. The specific points of similarity and difference will be important, but you will go beyond them to draw a conclusion from your analysis of the shows. This conclusion, your thesis, needs to be more than “point A is different from point B” or “I prefer subject B to subject A.” You have to explain why you have drawn your conclusion about the shows.
