Television is watched by millions of people every day. What is shown on television certainly changes the way people think about certain issues. In last few decades, some TV shows have been more popular than others. Many of these shows have left a deep impact on American society. In fact, perception of people about American Society itself has altered to a great degree in the last few decades.
Social structures in the United States are quickly changing. Things are like never before. Values of the past are not more a thing of today. Very few people are interested in values that were important a few decades ago. There was a time when television shows were mostly focused on demonstrating these values. A number of popular shows were just about the way parents care for their children, traditional family structures etc. Now things have been changing very quickly. Gone are the days when family oriented programs were aired on television. Now, you will see the world of television entering a whole new dimension of entertainment.

Television shows of the day are more focused on specific relationships. You will find plenty of shows that are specifically focused on teenagers or some other age group. That is how things work simpler for show producers. Families are no more the central attraction of the world of television. Today's popular TV series are mostly focused on friends. A number of shows are even trying to glamorize what should be actually rejected. There is no dearth of shows demonstrating various criminal activities, cases of social violence, rapes, murders and aggravated assaults. Everything comes down to entertain people and show producers easily lose the human value here. No matter what the television world is giving out to everyone, it has definitely proved to be a great source of entertainment for people today.
