Seeing that metajournalistic analysis in animated programs and cartoons has not been considered in academic studies as one of the main ways to question journalistic practices and analyze changes in journalism across different historical periods, this article addresses the unique characteristics of media narration and representation, journalism, and public opinion from the 1970s as viewed through the lens of adult humor cartoons, specifically through the streaming series F is for Family. A qualitative content analysis was conducted, examining 31 episodes and 113 scenes or excerpts from them, to reveal the sectorized programming of the media, with specific programming for different demographic sectors, while maintaining dynamics and themes related to the context and public opinion of the 1970s in the United States. It was found that the series has a coherent and realistic narrative thread, composed of satirical humor, which serves to highlight stereotypes, preconceptions, sexist and racist positions, and other common issues of the time, which were evolving to pave the way for subsequent structural changes.
