A term for a television series involving the same cast of actors who play the same characters in different scenarios each week in what is commonly referred to as an “episode”. Though not strictly confined to the genre, most sitcoms are comedic in nature, hence the
name “sitcom” which is an acronym for “situation
comedy”. To sum up what is a fairly ambiguous term, a sitcom is what keeps everyday
people from watching the news, thus becoming enraged at seeing what is really going on in the country and thus setting about to murder all of Congress.
