Abstract

This paper is intended to show the results of an extensive research about the television series with doctors, who have been issued in the last twenty years. The analysis’ origin is the result of a doctoral thesis, defended in July 2010. Within this format, we chose the nineteen U.S. production TV series, released in Spain. The reasons for this choice are due to several ideas: the possible educational role of the medical television characters and a new and potential way to educate, or not, the public on nutrition and cuisine. We also believe that the United States are the most interesting country to be studied for two reasons: American television exports its products worldwide and has high rates of obesity, which could be reduced from prevention and nutritional education on the small screen.
