More recently, looking at America in the last several decades, there's some reason to believe that shows like "The Cosby Show" radically changed American attitudes towards African-Americans, while shows like "Will and Grace" and "Modern Family" changed American attitudes towards gay men and women.
Nedavno, gledajući Ameriku u zadnjih nekoliko desetljeća, imamo razloga vjerovati da su serije poput "Cosby showa" radikalno promijenili stavove Amerikanaca prema Afroamerikancima, a serije poput "Will i Grace"  i "Moderne obitelji" promijenili su stavove prema homoseksualcima.
