During the 1980s, U.S. television experienced a reinvigoration of the family sitcom genre. Drawing on Foucauldian and feminist theories, Alice Leppert examines the nature of sitcoms against the backdrop of a time period generally remembered as socially conservative and obsessed with traditional family values.
