What t.v taught me

So I enjoy watching television as much as the next person. I love the drams, the sci-fi futuristic thrillers, the legal, and even some cartoons. But what I don't like is the image some of these characters are projecting to younger people. Male and female alike. As an adult it easy to interpret reality from fiction. Or better yet the actual reality that some people live as it personified on t.v from the reality that was instilled in us as we grew up.
There are two shows in particular, that I indulge in, that fall victim to this confusion of  reality. That being Scandal and Being Mary Jane. Now these shows are great shows, they have great writers, producers, and casts, but some of the things that they personify and the images placed on the characters is less than something to admire.
Both of these shows show no respect of the union of marriage. This same marriage that we(heterosexuals) are so adamant about not letting homosexuals have. These shows glorify the cheating husband and his mistress and make it seem ok to cheat and continue with an affair as long as the two (cheaters) are in love. He will never leave you for his wife, no matter how much he says it. Yet even if he did what is to stop him from doing that very thing to you. Don't you think he once loved his wife the way he claims to love you? Whats to stop him from doing the very same thing to you?
Now as a common sense having adult, I recognize the fantasy and excitement these character relationships have for the plot and for the audience, but the sad reality is that while it seems like pure entertainment for some, this is the reality others are living. And in living this reality the values that children were once taught begin to diminish because it become ok as time progresses. People are not upset with the dynamics of the relationships they see personified on television and their gratification for these actions translates to children as something that is not out of the ordinary and as something that is accepted.
These shows are teaching young boys trying to be men that its ok to carry on extra-marital affairs, as long as your wife never finds out. Then if she does, you can either ask her for a divorce or continue to carry on like it doesn't matte now since she knows. Then these shows go on to teach young girls that its alright to lust after someone you cannot have. And even go as far as to continually sleep with him and plan out a fantasy family and life with him or in your head, that more than likely you will never have. I feel that we, as adults, forget the younger audiences of these shows often confuse fictional sitcom reality with actuality. That is except for the cases where sitcom reality is their actuality. But that it up to us adults to distinguish the difference for them. Playing house with someone who is married to someone else is completely different from  maintaining a home with them.
These shows seem harmless when watched with fogged lenses but once all is cleared all are see are two big name African American female actresses with staring roles as mistresses.
