What is a Sitcom?
A sitcom is also referred to as a situation comedy and it is a genre of comedy that features characters sharing the same common environment such as a home or a workplace. Two examples of a sitcom would be Mrs. Brown's Boys and The Simpsons. A sitcom also revolves around the same characters appearing in each episode and the same sort of theme happening.
Mrs. Brown's Boys.
Mrs Brown's Boys is about an Irish family living in Dublin and is a popular sitcom. The programme is always based on the main characters such as Mrs Brown, Rory, Mark, Cathy, Grandad, Buster and Dermott. The programme has a target audience set between teenagers and adults to seniors. The programme has three different settings, the kitchen in the Brown house, the living room and the pub Foley's. It is, however, different to other sitcoms such as The Simpsons. It was scheduled for 9 o'clock on BBC One.
The Simpsons.
The Simpsons is based on an American family and is a popular sitcom. It is based around the Simpson family: Homer, Bart, Maggie, Lisa and Marge. It is set quite often in the Simpson house but also in Springfield Elementary school, Moe's Tavern, the Flanders' house. The programmes also revolves a lot on the humour of Homer getting hurt quite often, that is what makes the programme quite funny. It's target audience is children and teenagers. And is a lot different to Mrs. Brown's Boys and is scheduled for 6 o'clock on channel four.
Both of these sitcoms have quite a modern theme made up from different instruments and the theme is very catchy. Both programmes also have many numerous characters that the show is based on and they are very funny for this generation.
