Situation comedy
From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change
A situation comedy, usually called a sitcom, is a type of comedy program. Sitcoms were first on radio, before television was invented, but are now on television and are a large part of the programs shown. Sitcoms usually have the same characters in the same places (for example; a home, a workplace, a city or town) on every episode.
Some sitcoms become very popular and are watched by millions of people. Here are some sitcoms you may have heard of.
