A lot of people say the sitcom is dead. I think they're right to some extent, in that the shows they're putting out are all the same.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
More and more, I've started to understand that no show is dead unless somebody decrees it's dead at a studio.
There are only about three really, really good sitcoms on the air.
The only thing I miss from the sitcom format is that immediate gratification of when you're, if we're talking about comedy, of the live audience.
I think the longer a sitcom is on the air, by necessity, the dumber the characters have to get: otherwise, they would be learning and growing, and they won't be funny, so they have to get more and more extremely whatever they are.
Sitcoms are making a comeback, but you've got to have a little quirkiness in there now.
I think it is very sad that 'sitcom' has become a pejorative term.
A sitcom isn't usually the right tool for satire.
Sitcoms are what got me excited about show business.
I feel terrible for directors of TV because all the episodes have to look the same. They make a great series for five or six years, and then when it's canceled, they can't break out on their own.
Nobody's ever kept their sitcom character going after the show's off the air.
