with the TV show article I got as far as ...
"The study assessed the values of characters in popular television shows in each decade from 1967 to 2007, with two shows per decade evaluated"

Then didn't bother reading any forther.

How can you even begin to fairly assess the TV of a decade based on 2 shows?

Right?

What if the two shows from one year were "Real Sex" and "Taxi Cab Confessions" and then the next year they picked "The Sopranos" and "Friends."

Considerably different results.
