This text critically examines 1980s American television in the context of the prevailing conservative ideological climate and demonstrates the richness of this often-slighted medium as a source of significance for cultural criticism. Seeing Through the Eighties addresses the increased commodification of both the producers and consumers of TV as a result of technological innovations and the introduction of new marketing techniques. Claiming a close relationship between TV and the cultures that create and view it, Jane Feuer sees the eighties through TV while seeing through TV in every sense of the word.
