Answer 1

I just did a paper on the intro of TV and its effects on american family life... you should find these books at a local library:
Make Room For TV - Lynn Spiegel
Big World, Small Screen - Aletha C. Huston
Prime-Time Families - Ella Taylor
Television and the American Family - Jennings Bryant

When you go to the library, look around at other titles close to the books you get, there will be lots of books that can help you.

Wikipedia has a good article:
