In recent years, there has been a growing demand for greater diversity and representation in entertainment content. Audiences are increasingly seeking out stories and characters that reflect their own experiences and backgrounds.

The advent of radio and then television turned entertainment from a scheduled event into a domestic staple. Families gathered around the "glass teat" to watch I Love Lucy or Walter Cronkite.

This homogeneity created a "shared cultural language"—everyone knew who Archie Bunker was, and everyone saw the moon landing simultaneously.
