And that women married as soon as they could, often while they were still in college. This happened so frequently that -- if I remember correctly -- entire women's dormitories were set aside for the married women. Anyway.

These shows and movies also emphasize the stability of the "nuclear" family family, which can be very comforting in times of upset (the Vietnamese war, 9/11, social movements of the 60's and other eras, the current recession). The stability portrayed is false, but very reassuring about its supposed American way of life. I think this is a very good point.

I don't know, though. but yeah this is interesting.
