TV Family Values

"The sharp and insightful analysis of 1980s family sitcoms we need! An engaging assessment of TV comedy in a changing culture of gender, work, and home during a transitional decade."

~Elana Levine, author of Wallowing in Sex: The New Sexual Culture of 1970s American Television

“Insightful, well-argued and carefully researched, TV Family Values gives a rich and multifaceted picture of the social, cultural and political currents at play in 80s sitcoms.”

~Joanne Morreale, author of Advertising and Promotional Culture: Case Histories

"Recommended."

"Leppert provides an excellent analysis of the significant storylines and “fantasies” that provided a lens with which to view the realities of the Reagan Era."
