During the 1980s, U.S. television experienced a reinvigoration of the family sitcom genre. In TV Family Values, Alice Leppert focuses on the impact the decade's television shows had on middle class family structure. These sitcoms sought to appeal to upwardly mobile "career women" and were often structured around non-nuclear families and the reorganization of housework. Drawing on Foucauldian and feminist theories, Leppert examines the nature of sitcoms such as Full House, Family Ties, Growing Pains, The Cosby Show, and Who's the Boss? against the backdrop of a time period generally remembered as socially conservative and obsessed with traditional family values.

Fame is fickle, as conventional wisdom has it, but in current times, celebrity seems to be in crisis more than ever. Sexual abuse scandals and the #MeToo movement have rocked the foundations of celebrity culture, media and AI development have questioned the nature of the 'star' as a human figure, various forms of societal, cultural and political polarisation have put celebrities under increased public pressure, and more and more famous figures are opening up about their mental health crises and the negative effects of fame, such as burnout, anxiety, the impact of hate speech, body-shaming or performance pressure.This edited collection explores how such moments of crisis-scandals, reputational breakdowns, public controversies and conflicts-shape the contemporary dynamics of celebrity culture. Bringing together interdisciplinary perspectives from media studies, cultural studies and sociology, the contributions examine a wide range of cases, from high-profile public scandals to the affective politics of celebrity failure and reputational repair. The book highlights how celebrity figures become focal points for broader social debates about gender, class, race, morality and authenticity, offering critical insights into the mechanisms of fame, the politics of visibility and the cultural work performed by celebrity scandals in the digital age.This volume will be of great interest to postgraduate students, researchers and academics in media and cultural studies, sociology, communication studies and celebrity studies, as well as anyone interested in understanding the complex relationship between fame, power and contemporary culture. It was originally published as a special issue of Celebrity Studies.
