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. John Stamos:

   The truth is -- and, you know, I have to say it's so funny -- that we weren't the best friends( when we were) on that show, i came in wanting to approach the sitcom with structure, whereas Bob Saget and Dave( Dave Coulier) just wanted to make everyone laugh all the time.

2. Jerry Mathers:

   Yes, it was nice to have another income rolling in, but it wasn’t like my family couldn’t exist without me working, and when I finished ‘Leave It to Beaver,’ the studio did have another sitcom they wanted me to do, but I had never been to regular school. I had a private tutor from the first grade up until the eighth grade… I wanted to attend regular school and be with other kids. I wanted to play sports.

3. 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.

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:

   I remember I was in a cab one time and the cab driver said to me, ‘Why did you stop doing that show? It was very successful.' And I and I said to him, well, I was at a point we had done it for nine years and I realized I could go off the air right now and the show could be a legend. I could be a legend of the sitcom world or I could make some more money. I could risk that to make some more money. I said, what would you do? He said, 'I'd go for legend.' I said, Yeah, that's what I thought. So we went for a legend.
