Happy Accidents

I just want to note how many of my observations for this assignment are occurring by accident.  When I began thinking of the ways to tackle this project, it seemed like a daunting task to find many examples of disability on television.  When in fact, most of my observations are from shows that I was watching by chance. I do admit that I watch a lot of television, but I think this really says something about how much disability is really represented in the media, specifically television.  There are many different ways that it is represented including negatively, positively, scientifically, fantastical, or true. Each way that disability is represented makes a statement about how American society views disability as a whole.
