not who they cater to, what the show is about
Examples: Star Trek: mostly all men, see women as inferior; The Unit: Men fight, women stay at home and take care of the family

Almost any and all network programming is racially biased toward white people. The preferred audience demographic is usually between the ages of 23-54 so clearly there is an age bias. CBS is famous for cancelling programs doing well in the ratings but featuring older or senior citizens as the protagonists. The age bias involves money and who spends it on what. Although older folks don't spend any less and tend to make major purchases such as cars and vacation equipment, they do not spend on disposable items to the degree as younger and that is where ads are targeted for commercials.

All in the Family

How about All in the Family? As I recall, Archie Bunker managed to piss off everyone around him. Then just when you thought he was irredeemable, you got to see the human side and he didn't seem so bad. Just misinformed and out of date.

All of them. ABC, CBS and NBC cater to the white, twenty something crowd. WB (Now CW?) caters almost exclusively to the black teen crowd. And the Hispanic channels well, go figure.
