A word used to describe all the really bad sitcoms that are coming out recently, which are usually just inferior clones of previous great sitcoms.

A sitcom which is shit and may appear funny but is not, often followed by entire generations, i.e. "2 & 1/2 Men" or "How I met your mother" etc...

Takes the structure of a traditional Sitcom and adds an edge, sometimes poor camera quality, foul language and crude behavior.

When a romcom's shit aspect exceeds the bounds of the "romantic" aspect leaving a bitter comedy that can only be described as a "shitcom"
Jeff: "Did you see '50 first dates' with Adam Sandler?"
Bro: "Adam Sandler is a classic shitcom star!"

It's like a sitcom, but it's a comedy about shit. Sitcoms are comedies about classical situations, loved by people around the world. Shitcoms are meaningless and reak with mendacity.
Dude 1: I hate shitcoms.
Dude 2: You mean like cavemen, carpoolers, and alf?
Dude 1: Yea, they were flops.
Dude 2: The best sitcoms were Friends and How I Met Your Mother. Why can't the networks make more sitcoms like Friends?
Dude 1: TV networks are total bitchass.
Dude 2: Perhaps, they are stoned.

Much like stockholm syndrome (where kidnap victims feel loyal to their abductors), SHITCOM SYNDROME happens when a bad sitcom is thrust upon the viewing public so much it ends up being very popular, battering them into submission until it is named 'The Nation's No. 1 comedy show'
Two and a Half men - broadcast in many countries more than 3 times a week - we don't have a chance!!
'Man, I think I've got Shitcom Syndrome, I laughed at Two and Half Men last night'
'Oh my God, flagellate yourself with the Tv guide quick!'
