I laugh sometimes that some of you guys are into sitcoms, I mean.....wow. I can't stand Sitcoms, well the Simpsons does not count, that's a cartoon, my parents keep telling me its a sitcom. But still, I never took a liking to sitcoms, I don't know why either :-I
The Simpsons qualifies as a sitcom, so his parents at least know what one is. Anyway, I think you're ignorant if you're really going to generalise a whole category of tv shows like that. And I feel sorry for you because you're missing out on a lot of great comedies. OR like Forsaken said, you don't even know what a sitcom is.
Ignorance is bliss my dear, I hate some things, so what? Everyone hates something. I'm not aloud to hate a certain types of TV show's?
Spoiler A situation comedy, often shortened to sitcom, is a genre of comedy that features characters sharing the same common environment, such as a home or workplace, accompanied with jokes as part of the dialogue. Such programs originated in radio, but today, sitcoms are found almost exclusively on television as one of its dominant narrative forms, and art forms. A situation comedy television program may be recorded before a studio audience. The effect of a live studio audience can be imitated by the use of a laugh track. As opposed to stand up comedy and sketch comedy, a situation comedy has a storyline and ongoing characters in, essentially, a comedic drama. The situation is usually that of a family, workplace, or a group of friends through comedic sequences. Traditionally comedy sketches were presented within a variety show and mixed with musical performances, as in vaudeville. The emerging mass medium of radio allowed audiences to regularly return to programs, so programs could feature the same characters and situations each episode and expect audiences to be familiar with them. Sitcom humor is often character driven and by its nature running gags often evolve during a series. Often the status quo of the situation is maintained from episode to episode. An episode may feature a disruption to the usual situation and the character interactions, but this will usually be settled by the episode's end and the situation returned to how it was prior to the disruption. There are exceptions to this. Some shows feature story arcs across many episodes where the characters and situations change and evolve. Comedies from past civilizations, such as those of Aristophanes in ancient Greece, Terence and Plautus in ancient Rome, Śudraka in ancient India, and numerous examples including Shakespeare, Molière, the Commedia dell'arte and the Punch and Judy shows from post-Renaissance Europe, are the ancestors of the modern sitcom. Some of the characters, pratfalls, routines and situations as preserved in eyewitness accounts and in the texts of the plays themselves, are remarkably similar to those in earlier modern sitcoms such as I Love Lucy and The Honeymooners. The first television sitcom is said to be Pinwright's Progress, ten episodes being broadcast on the BBC between 1946–1947.[1][2] In the U.S., director and producer William Asher, has been credited with being the "man who invented the sitcom,"[3] having directed over two dozen of the leading sitcoms, including I Love Lucy, during the 1950s through the 1970s.
You know I noticed something: A user says they hate something, KHV's reaction= Oh yeah who cares right, ah ha ha ha ha. I say I hate something= RAAAAAAGE RAAAAAAAAGE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
You are allowed to irrationally hate some things. I know I do. I just don't believe that you really do hate all situational comedies. :> The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Arrested Development, Friends, The Office, Scrubs.. all situational comedies. You don't like any of them?
No, I just find them annoying,most of the time its because it just feel annoying and stupid, the jokes are childish sometimes, I think the characters are annoying, I just think their not my cup of tea. I think it has to do with my family laughing out loud like hyaenas each time they hear something funny, I understand laughing is great, I love it, I laugh too. But all I hear around is: BAH HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAA AH HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Know I'm being a little over dramatic here but still, its like something traumatizing in my life, a horrible memory that know matter how much I say I got rid of it, it will just stay there.
My family watches AND laughs at Two and a Half Men. It's embarrassing, but I'm not going to declare that I hate all sitcoms because of it. Sitcoms can be creative and witty just like any other genre; you just have to find the good ones.
I don't see that at all. I see you misunderstanding just what a sitcom is. See Trixter's wikipasta. There are many sitcoms in anime, usually under the genre of "Slice of Life." The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is a sitcom. Love Hina is a sitcom. Shuffle!, despite the very blatant fantastic elements, is a sitcom. Really, most harem anime are sitcoms. Rec. is a sitcom. Death Note is not a sitcom.
Totally misread that at first and thought you were saying it was. I was really questioning your sense of humor for a minute.
I understand, I know I may be ignorant, maybe it just because I think mostly everything on TV has gone down the shitter.
