	USATODAY.com - Building a better sitcom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		When sitcoms dominated the schedule, we were told there were too many shows, and they were diluting the audience and the talent pool.
		Now that sitcoms are in shorter supply, we're told there aren't enough shows or time slots, so writers aren't given a chance to develop their talents.
		And so many sitcoms are either built around actors who have no business starring in a comedy, or are shoddily constructed around people who are not being used to their best advantage.

	screenonline: Sitcom
		Initially radio sitcoms of the time were simply transferred to television, but eventually the need for new material encouraged the development of shows and forms designed specially for the medium.
		Sitcoms now reflect the viewer's different experience of the media; no longer does television have a privileged position, but seems part of everyday life.
		Good sitcoms are a kind of virtual reality - they reflect the rhythms of everyday life, the pain of the human condition and, of course, the joy of laughter.

		It's nice that sitcom writing tends to be based on talent, but it would also be nice if there were some training course that could guarantee your admittance into the big leagues.
		It just happens to be where most of the sitcom writing work is. Even if a show shoots out of New York, it's generally based and staffed in LA. Furthermore, there are tons of connections to be made in Hollywood that you just can't get anywhere else.
		Most sitcom writers live in a perpetual state of fear, never knowing when their show will be cancelled and if they'd be able to get another job afterward.

	Screenplay vs. Sitcom Scripts
		A sitcom teleplay's title page should contain the name of the show, the title of the episode, the name of the writer, the writer's "contact info" and/or the name of the production company, and the draft number.
		For dialogue in both sitcom teleplays and screenplays, character names are typed in all caps and the dialogue itself appears in upper- and lower-case text.

		(Sitcom declinists make no claims about the quality or critical reception of Friends, only its popularity.) Sure, it's been a Top 10 show from its inception, and it was the most-watched show on television as recently as the 2001-2002 season.
		But the writers of sitcoms use such plot devices as exogenous shocks to try to revive a dying system.
		In the beginning, the frame of reference for the show was the sitcom universe.

	Sitcom: What It Is, How It Works
		This type of sitcom is called a domestic comedy because it is almost invariably set in and around a family unit: a mother and/or father, and most definitely, children.
		A dramedy is the rarest and most serious type of sitcom; its entire being is not devoted to evoking laughter from the audience.
		This involved watching at least one episode of each of the 680 sitcoms that have been on the air, and between 50 and 200 episodes of many.
