Publisher's Synopsis

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 & texts, drawing on a range of examples & case studies in order to examine the genre's characteristics, social position, & pleasures.
