The television show I decided to choose was The Middle on ABC. The family on the show consists of a mother, a father, an older brother, a middle sister, and a younger brother. The family type is nuclear. I believe the show portrays a modern family perfectly. There are many times I have watched it with my mom or sisters and it is something that we can relate to. Sometimes my grandma will call my mom up and tell her she has to watch it because it has to do with something we have done or it reminds her of us. Everyone in my family enjoys the show.
I believe that it is a patriarchy family. The mother is in charge sometimes but the fathers always ends up have the last word. In the end it is all up to the father. In the episode I watched they showed how one kid always ends up getting the "the shorter end of the stick". They took the oldest son out one day, then the daughter the next day, and on the last day they were going to take the younger son out but ended up running errands with him because they were too busy with the other kids so they we're tired and worn out. I always have watched other episodes that most families can relate too.
