Suburban Narratives and American Values in Film and Television
Rutgers University Press

It discusses the myth of suburban perfection popularized by postwar sitcoms and advertisements and explores how the directors and producers behind today’s films and television series use the spaces of suburbia to tell stories about America as well as critique the conservative ideologies that underpin the suburban American Dream.
