As television continued to evolve, so did its portrayal of relationships and romance. Shows like "Grey's Anatomy" (2005-present) and "Desperate Housewives" (2004-2012) introduced more complex, nuanced storylines, exploring themes like infidelity, divorce, and non-traditional family structures. These shows also featured a more diverse cast of characters, including people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and characters with disabilities.
