Jay, Cameron and I had an overly-extended debate on what exactly differentiates a situation comedy (or "sitcom" to you) from the super-genre of comedy. We decided to ask the experts at ChaCha:

Just a moment while I find that for you.You: thanks!Bonnie(13248): Are these helpful?You: well, kindaYou: what's your personal opinion?You: any comedy program i can think of has a situationBonnie(13248): My opinion is that a comedy is an hour and a sitcom has only half an hour to wrap everything upYou: zing!You: nice workYou: i like thatBonnie(13248): Did I answer your question?Bonnie(13248): If only all questions could be answered by my opinion...Bonnie(13248): Is there anything else on this topic I can find for you today?You: well, i guess we are both entitled to our opinions. that will be all, then.Bonnie(13248): Thanks for chachaing with me, have a great day!!You: xoxoxWe weren't particularly impressed with that answer, so we furthered our search by watching the pilot episode of ALF, which I think we can all agree is the gold standard by which all sitcoms should be compared.
