Animated Sitcom index: Bad examples?

I have just recently had to delete some entries under Animated Sitcom that others agreed do not qualify as sitcoms, or that did not resemble one when I read some episode summaries on Wikipedia:

What I've deleted so far:

Now, I cannot help but wonder if there might've been other shows on the index for a while now. I created a thread under Projects: Short Term (without realizing that it should've gone through the Trope Repair Shop first), but it has not gained that much traction to date.

With that, here is everything I am not familiar enough with to determine one way or another. In all likelihood, most of them are in fact sitcoms, but BoJack Horseman was one of the first examples I deleted from the index, given its emphasis on character development and story while targeting sitcom tropes to deconstruct. I also recall once adding 12 oz. Mouse under assumption based on a few bits and pieces I saw, only to delete that after realizing what that show really is.

Anime:

Web Animation:

Western Animation:

Anyone here think any of the above shows cannot be considered a sitcom?
