| I'd say that there is something to this.  I've long believed that sitcoms also affect how people treat each other in relationships.  My wife and I were both quite limited in what TV we were allowed to watch growing up, and had noticed a difference in how we treat each other vs what we saw among our college friends.
 I also remember, back in Junior High, when all the "cool kids" had all these catch phrases.  I wondered how they knew about them.  Then I discovered they were repeating lines from television shows, and I thought that was pathetic.  I've never been popular.
