Hi!
I am doing a class project where I need to research whether you think One Day at a Time lead society or reflected society. Do you think that the show influenced what people did or do you think it showed how life was? Any input would be appreciated.

i think it did both - it obviously was written to reflect what was going on in a growing number of families, and provide a new viewpoint to the masses.

whether it truly influenced society is pretty hard to say, but speaking as a child in a divorced household, it made it a little easier to laugh at something when you could see that life could still be good even though some things were going badly.

...or I could be just full of nonsense, it IS past my bedtime
