    Summary: 
    "Television comedy has long been on the frontline in how America evolves on social issues. There is something about comedy that makes difficult issues more palatable--with humor an effective device for presenting ideas that lead to social change. From I Love Lucy which introduced the first television pregnancy to Will & Grace, which normalized gay characters, the situation comedy has challenged the public to revisit social mores and reshape how we think about the world in which we live."---Provided by publisher.
