Description

Even though sitcom has been a staple of broadcasting the world over, rigorous academic work on it as a genre remains limited. This book examines sitcom as an industry in terms of production audiences and texts, drawing on a range of examples and case studies in order to examine the genre's characteristics, social position, and pleasures.
