"Taylor not only dissects the family images that have influenced our culture; she reveals a notion the television industry would rather we didn't think about—namely, that changes in television are driven not by any notion of art of culture but by economics."—Seattle Weekly

"Takes us on a tour of the living rooms of the situation comedies over the past 40 years."—American Journal of Sociology
