Summary/Abstract: It is an undeniable fact that 20th century has been a period in which television has greatly influenced the Turkish socio-cultural life. In terms of cultural acceptance the audio/visual media are in a positive and negative sense transforms the society. In some TV series, social reactions are taken from time to time at points that are incompatible with social culture; it is also seen that these reactions are not given or the situation is ignored. The fact that the concepts of gender and family in Turkish society are covered with various taboos and surrounded by social norms is one of the main dynamics in these reactions. Within the framework of these dynamics, the limits of sexual relations that family members will establish with the same person from the outside have been determined to a large extent and have been shaped by a customary law beyond the laws. At the specified point, the limits of sexual relations, especially with the same members of the family, have been determined to a large extent and have been shaped by a customary juristic beyond the laws. At this point, the relationship that the brothers can establish with the same person are bound to very special conditions, preventing them from becoming ordinary or turning into a normal acceptance and preventing the relations in this direction with social rejection. Despite this structure in the society, some TV series for their rating broadcast going beyond their stated assumptions and transmit these relations as an acceptable or normal way of life. Depending on the above statements, in this study; going through the “Fazilet Hanım ve Kızları”, “Kadın” and “Kardeş Çocukları” series, it is examined that what kind of character and intellectual structures of the “sisterhood/brotherhood” types, Turkish people encounter in their daily life. The idealized sibling relationships in the daily life of the Turkish people do not reflect the perspective, sensitivities, beliefs and values of the Anatolian people's perception of the “sibling” type in these TV series. It has been determined that the method such as exaggerations, mystifications, puzzles and appeal have been used to increase the rating. In this context, university students and people above middle age were asked a questionnaire regarding the series in question within the scope of document analysis method; according to the results of the questionnaire, evaluations about the mentioned types were made and research methods of folklore were used.
