The statistics are famous and unnerving. Most high-school graduates have spent more time watching television than they’ve spent in school.

I have chosen to compare and contrast two television shows: Family Matters and Home Improvement. The two shows are surprisingly similar in many aspects‚ but there are a few differences in the communication styles and other aspects of the two families.
