Ofcourse crazy things still happen today, but before the invention of tv, people had never had the exposure to what a healthy, happy, normal family should be like.

And now, typical tv shows are about functional, happy people, it seems like most people in society understand there's a guideline of what a normal person should be like.

And when I hear stories about people in the past before tv, the stories sound like rampant abuse and quite tragic. It sounds like there wasn't an understanding of what normalcy should be, before there was tv.

So did tv help people's private lives and home lives better, by showing what normal people should be like?
