The article by B. J. Leff from the readings for this module explores the idea of how music, movies, and television of the masses can be important historical artifacts.Consider that the average American watches just over 5 hours of television a day. Think about that for a moment. That means we are on average, in front of a TV or tablet nearly 35 hours a week!Now pause and reflect on some of those hours you have spent in front of a TV. What is your favorite television show? Why do you like it? Who are the show’s main characters? What positive and negative qualities do they exhibit? How is your favorite show, as Leff suggests, a historical artifact (a reflection of the social, political, and cultural current events) of the time? Do you see social issues reflected in the characters or plots?Written Assignment InstructionsSelect one of the iconic shows from the following list.Dallas, The Odd Couple, Soap, ER, The Simpsons, Saturday Night Live, Sex in the City, The Jeffersons, M*A*S*H, All in the Family, The Office (American), Star Trek, Hill Street Blues, Sesame Street, Sanford and Son, Seinfeld, Roots, Laugh-in, Good Times or another if approved by your instructor.Research your show, looking for answers to the following questions:What is the background of this show?
