Situational comedy

The door can be a useful impediment for comic purposes in


the sitcom, but it can also impede the movement of the camera.
From the Cambridge English Corpus

A 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.
