Americans wanted to own the same expensive objects and do the same things as their friends or neighbors because they were worried about seeming less important socially than they were (Cambridge dictionary) and shows like, “The Truman show,” re-enforced that feeling; fictional viewers of, “The Truman show,” wanted to live a stable life the way Truman does, own the same house, eat the same food, have the same wife.
