My Theory About Social Experiments on TV

Per heard a TV executive say, "If you want people to change their minds, have them pity the thing". I believe it's true and add 'and like the people'. Pity it, like the people, and change views. I think the following TV shows are experiments to get people to change views:

1. SISTER WIVES. Real intention: Get people to change views on traditional marriage. Most people think polygamy is wrong but will soften views on traditional marriage because of liking the family. (TLC)

2. THE PEOPLE'S COUCH. Real intention: Get people to embrace things shunned (swearing, certain TV shows). A lot of people think conservatively, but because shows are shocking and the cast (people watching the shows) are liked and new shows are watched out of curiosity. Once a new show is watched it keeps being watched partly because the cast watches the show and they are liked. (BRAVO)

3. GLEE. Real intention: Get people to embrace things shunned (i.e. Teen pregnancy, teenage drinking, homosexuality, etc.). The characters on this show are likable, felt sorry for, and pitied. (FOX)

4. THE REAL HOUSEWIVES. Real intention: Get people to think money and the one's who have it are bad. The housewives are catty and full of drama. They act incorrectly and they also have money. The Real Housewives are watched because they do shocking things, but the idea is that money makes them evil. (BRAVO)

5. DUCK DYNASTY. Real intention: Get people to believe religious people are hillbillies. The cast do the outrageous then end every show with a family dinner and prayer. The show exploits the cast and mocks religious people. (A&E)

TV Shows these days have agendas. TV Executives want to get viewers and some also want to change public opinion. (Changing public opinion seems to work: some of the things once shunned are now accepted.) My Estimation of the ultimate real intention: Get people to turn away from conservatism. I won't be persuaded to change my views, and I hope when some shows are watched that reality is realized.
