1. Sitcom

   A sitcom, a portmanteau of situation comedy, or situational comedy, is a genre of comedy centered on a fixed set of characters who mostly carry over from episode to episode. Sitcoms can be contrasted with sketch comedy, where a troupe may use new characters in each sketch, and stand-up comedy, where a comedian tells jokes and stories to an audience. Sitcoms originated in radio, but today are found mostly on television as one of its dominant narrative forms. A situation comedy television program may be recorded in front of a studio audience, depending on the program's production format. The effect of a live studio audience can be imitated or enhanced by the use of a laugh track. Critics disagree over the utility of the term "sitcom" in classifying shows that have come into existence since the turn of the century. Many contemporary American sitcoms use the single-camera setup and do not feature a laugh track, thus often resembling the dramedy shows of the 1980s and 1990s rather than the traditional sitcom.

Examples of Sitcom in a Sentence

1. Zarqa Nawaz:

   I wanted to create the sitcom because I was still mad at some Muslims for being so sexist, this is fantastic though, that I have inadvertently made my community look good. People ask me all the time, 'Do you think your show makes a difference?' And I have told them 'I have no idea.' Now I know. This is fantastic.

2. Matthew Perry:

   ... You won't be seeing me on a sitcom for a while.

3. Hannibal Buress:

   He gets on TV, 'Pull your pants up black people, I was on TV in the 80s! I can talk down to you because I had a successful sitcom!' yeah, but you rape women, Bill Cosby, so turn the crazy down a couple notches.

4. Barry Williams:

   Oh, I was committed to a lifetime of show business long before ‘The Brady Bunch,’ in fact, I don’t think any of us really held up high hopes that it would have this kind of endurance. Even by television standards, it’s a pretty unique series. It’s been a sitcom, a cartoon show, a variety hour, a Christmas special, a movie twice (we did my book [‘Growing Up Brady’] as a TV movie) and ‘A Very Brady Renovation.’ There have been so many things around it, more than pretty much any television series I can think of.

5. Jerry Seinfeld:

   FYC event. ( Photo by Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP) Jerry Seinfeld KEEPS HOPE ALIVE FOR POSSIBLE SITCOM REVIVAL No, it doesn't interest me. I do a lot of raisin stuff, Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP said. I have a lot of raisin material. Because you know you have the Sun-Maid company, and you have the Raisinet people. The ‘ My Next Guest Needs No Introduction ’ host then asked Seinfeld whether he sides with the Sun-Maid people, according to Complex. I just think that it’s interesting that after 80 years, Sun-Maid finally went,' Hey, why do n’t we put some chocolate on it ?' Imagine not thinking of that for 80 years. So that really gets me excited, that people pay me to talk about those kinds of things.
