In the shows a couple of days are squeezed into a certain amount of time and during that time more than one problem occurs. Maybe some people believe this just because they see it on television, but I don t know too many people that do believe it. The problems never drag on into a couple of episodes, because each episode has something else going on. That s why this is definitely not reality. Maybe if the problems were dragged on, it would make more sense.
Television has many other shows that are family shows, but they are on a different level.
By saying different level, I mean that they each have their own ways of how they are set up and what time they are shown. The two shows that I m talking about are shown in the evening, the exact time when both parents and children can watch it together. From my own experience, my mom would compare me to the children on the shows and say, See, those kids are perfect. That tells me that most likely many parents say the same thing to their children while watching the shows. This explains why the shows are shown at a certain time.
