	§14. Comedies. V. Beaumont and Fletcher. Vol. 6. The Drama to 1642, Part Two. The Cambridge History of English ...
		The list of comedies begins with The Woman Hater, which, apparently, is by a single author, and is now generally attributed to Beaumont alone.
		It is a lively comedy, but the plot is a tissue of improbable incidents, with melodramatic scenes of coffins and graveyards.
		Fletcher’s best comedies, however, are to be found among those of which the scenes are laid abroad and the plots taken from foreign sources, while the manners are those of the society with which he is familiar.

	Encyclopedia :: Situation comedy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The first situation comedy is often said to be Sam and Henry which debuted on the Chicago, Illinois clear-channel station WGN in 1926, and was partially inspired by the notion of bringing the mix of humor and continuity found in comic strips to the young medium of radio.
		Traditionally, situation comedies were largely self-contained, in that the characters themselves remained largely static and events in the sitcom resolved themselves by the conclusion of the show.
		One example of this is the animated situation comedy The Simpsons, where the characteristics of animation has rendered the characters unchanging in appearance forever—although the characters in the show have sometimes made knowing meta references to this (the writers have made reference to that by calling The Simpsons a "frozen-in-time" show).

	The IFLS Top 100 Funniest Movies
		It was a mess of confusing mistakes, and by the end, the only thing that was clear was that the AFI doesn't like comedy in their comedies.
		For those who are wondering, a movie is only be an official Comedy if it follows one specific criteria: A main character must at least once stand outside a restaurant and be mistaken for a valet parking attendant and given the keys to a super fast red sports car.
		You can tell when a movie is a thriller because all the women have their giant boobs crammed inside tiny shirts, and when they have sex, they keep their panties on and block their lover's view of their nipples with a bed sheet or an elbow.

	Wikinfo \| Comedy
		Comedy historically was any play that ended happily such as in Shakespeare.
		It is now considered a humorous performance in the performing arts such as theater/theatre (including stand-up) television and film.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Great Comedies
		When the list comes from a single critic, the list may be used as an indicator for how your tastes overlap.
		It's arguably the most difficult genre to pull off, but when a comedy works, the talent and effort that went into it is not readily apparent on the screen.
		Black comedy is a genre it took me a while to understand; now that I do, I'm convinced it's the hardest type of comedy to pull off.

		The institute began its annual list three years ago to celebrate America's film heritage and encourage audiences to revisit older films -- or, in many cases, watch them for the first time.
		The next list ranked the top 50 film legends, with Katharine Hepburn topping the female list and Humphrey Bogart leading the male rolls.
		The list was chosen by about 1,800 actors, directors, studio executives, critics and others in Hollywood, who voted from a list of 400 nominated films.

	AudioRevolution.com DVD Review of The Philadelphia Story
		While that list, like all such, leaves a hell of a lot to be desired (not enough Preston Sturges, for one thing), it's hard to argue against THE PHILADELPHIA STORY riding high on a list of great comedies -- since it's probably the best movie of its nature ever made.
		It's more sophisticated, more romantic, wittier and also more serious than screwball comedies; it's what screwball comedies want to be when they grow up: a great comedy of manners full of interesting people with interesting desires and motivations.
		Screwball comedies often involved madcap heiresses, so the rich usually came in for a great deal of kidding, but THE PHILADELPHIA STORY is one of the very few Hollywood films of the 30s and 40s to actually criticize the rich for attitudes they too often hold.

	TIM'S TV LIST / Dramatic list for family viewing
		Those who partake of the sin of lists will soon be burdened by confusion, scorn, relentless e-mails and even gentle ridicule.
		Which would be a great excuse, except for the fact that we labeled the list "best comedies." It's definitely a comedy and we love it dearly.
		And if it is in the midst of a down year, that doesn't diminish the fact that "GG" has, in the past, been far and away the smartest, most assured, funny and moving family drama on television.

	§21. Lacy. V. The Restoration Drama. Vol. 8. The Age of Dryden. The Cambridge History of English and American ...
		The best comedy of Lacy is The Old Troop (before 1665), in which he tells, with rude and broad native humour, experiences of his own when soldiering in the royalist army in civil war times, and, incidentally, maligns and abuses fallen puritanism.
		Ravenscroft pillaged the previous drama at large and Molière in particular, taking his earliest comedy and greatest success, Mamamouchi, or the Citizen Turned Gentleman, 1671, from Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme and Monsieur de Pourceaugnac.
		For a list of comedies by minor writers, printed within the first two decades following the restoration, see the bibliography to this chapter.

	Roman Catholicism: Art and Material Culture
		During 1995, the Vatican published a list of good films (it took special care to note that it was not judging them to be the "best" films).
		Some of the films listed have religious themes, such as "The Passion of Joan of Arc." Others, however, are not specifically about Christianity, although they include "good values", such as "Gandhi", and "Schindler's List".
		Still other films mentioned on the list are comedies, such as a 1950s British Comedy about a bank robbery.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Situation comedy
		The first network situation comedy was Amos & Andy which debuted on CBS in 1928, and was one of the most popular sitcoms through the 1930s.
		Canadian TV networks have had much more success with sketch comedy shows such as The Kids in the Hall, CODCO, SCTV, This Hour has 22 Minutes and Royal Canadian Air Farce, and quirky dramedies such as Twitch City, The Newsroom, Made in Canada, Trailer Park Boys, The Beachcombers, and Seeing Things.
		Reports of plans for a re-make of The Office, with David Brent, the comedy powerhouse who made the British version so popular in America, taking a backseat to the relationship between Tim and Dawn also seems destined for the scrap heap of British crossovers.

	Techtite.com: TV reviews
		This was a very painstakingly chosen list, of films that were first cut down to a mere 500 nominees, as chosen by the AFI itself.
		While it's understandable that Charlie Chaplin, the Marx Brothers, and Woody Allen are on the list, I don't appreciate them mentioned on the list over and over again --even their so-so comedies-- given how many other classic comedies were snubbed.
		Yes, there are indeed many comedies on the list, that are timeless, funny, and a major slice of Americana in film (allegedly, the three major requirements for each nominee).

		The list was compiled, movies had their points added, and the result is the list before you.

		Most are clearly comedies, but not all, as I included a few that are just so damn funny that I felt it necessary to include them.
		When I think of comedy, I think of something that's really just looking for laughs, like Fletch, and BTTF is clearly not one of these movies (to me).
		I think the list is, for the most part, one dimensional when it comes to the form of comedy used.

		This list of movie comedies is over inclusive in that certain dramas are listed.
		But the rule of thumb is this: if it has sufficient enough laughs to be regarded as humorous it is included even though overall it is perhaps a drama.
		The list of movie comedies is cataloged by individuals, whether writer, director, or actor, so there is some duplication.
