Sitcoms or situational comedies tend to run about 30 minutes in length and are based on reoccurring characters in a common environment in comedic situations. These sitcoms are usually episodic in the sense that one 30 minute block isn’t really relevant to another 30 minute block. You can have full understanding of what’s happening in an episode without having watched the episode previous to it. Usually in each episode occurs a climatic problem followed by the resolution at the end and throughout are humorous lines said by the characters. And the characters learn a lesson and grow and become “better people”.
One my favorite sitcoms that definitely epitomizes these characteristics is Scrubs. Each episode includes the same doctors and friends dealing with patients in the Sacred Heart hospital. Although it’s in a rather serious environment, the comedic situations and humorous one-liners make it a hilarious comedy. The doctors deal with the everyday struggles of working in a hospital and with each episode the main character J.D. learns a little more about himself and his surroundings.
