History of the Sitcom
A Family Matter
S1 E1:
Every sitcom is, at its heart, a reflection of America's core social "situation" - the family. This episode explores how sitcoms evolve to reflect the changing face of this most fundamental social unit. From I Love Lucy to the blended Brady Bunch, from working class families in All in the Family, Good Times, One Day at a Time and Roseanne to the aspirational The Cosby Show, from the groundbreaking Black-ish to Fresh off the Boat, sitcom humor has helped broaden our horizons and open our minds to what a Modern Family can be. Featuring sitcoms such as Brady Bunch, I Love Lucy, All in the Family, Good Times, One Day at a Time, Roseanne, The Cosby Show, Black-ish, Fresh off the Boat, and Modern Family.
