Generally, situation comedies deal with a small cast of characters encountering humorous situations while living their everyday lives. What counts as "everyday" varies between individuals -- daily life for [[Series/{{Cheers}} the staff of a bar in Boston]] is very different from daily life for [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones anachronistic cavemen]]. Sitcoms are not, however, to be confused with series of other genres that contain ComicRelief.

The two most popular subjects for sitcoms are family life (usually two parents with 2-3 kids) and the workplace full of oddballs. Most sitcoms are a half-hour long (minus commercials), but this isn't a hard and fast rule. Older sitcoms frequently have a LaughTrack. More than any other genre, sitcoms enforce StatusQuoIsGod.
