ABOUT THIS EPISODE OF OBSESSED PODCAST:
Television has long been called a mirror of society — but has it really reflected our families, or reshaped them entirely? In this fascinating episode of The Get Obsessed Podcast, host Julie Lokun, JD, sits down with Deborah Griffiths, creator of the powerful new show Bent Not Broken: Starting Over After Divorce, to explore how TV has shaped — and sometimes shattered — the image of the American family.
From Leave It to Beaver and Father Knows Best to The Brady Bunch, The Cosby Show, Roseanne, Modern Family, and even The Kardashians, Julie and Deborah journey through the decades — unpacking what each era’s most popular shows reveal about gender roles, family values, race, divorce, and cultural change.
This episode is a nostalgic, eye-opening trip through television history that will make you laugh, question, and maybe even rethink what “family” really means in the media age.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode
How post-war prosperity shaped the “perfect” families of the 1950s
The rise of single moms and blended families in the 1970s and beyond
When TV first dared to say the word divorce — and why it mattered
How shows like The Cosby Show and Family Ties brought strong family ideals into the 1980s
The impact of reality TV — from The Real Housewives to The Kardashians — on our sense of self and family identity
