According to Cultivation Theory, television viewers are cultivated to view reality similarly to what they watch on television. No one tv show gets credit for this effect. Instead, the medium of television gets the credit. Television shows are mainstream entretainment, easy to access, and generally easy to understand. As such, they provide a means by which people are socialized into the society, albeit with an unrealistic notion of realty at times, particularly with respect to social dangers. Television seeks to show and reinforce commonalities among us, so those who regularly watch television tend to see the world in the way television portrays it.
