Here we have a little information about the best sitcoms of all time. Of course, HQ ITV has many of these greatest sitcom shows on offer and all are free to watch. But first, lets take a look at what these type of programmes are all about.
What Are Sitcom Shows?
To begin with, we will explain what sitcom shows are. The word sitcom is obviously a combination of two words that we knit together to make one. Indeed, those two words are Situation Comedy. Thus, we get the word sitcom which is a comedy genre. Now that we know where the word sitcom came from, we can explore it in detail.
Obviously, we find sitcom shows on the television by the score. However, they did originate on the radio. But, because the visual side of things have a better effect, sitcom shows are mainly on TV nowadays.
Generally speaking, sitcom shows usually have the same characters in every episode. Although from time to time there may be a few guests that make an appearance to liven the show up. Production companied can record sitcoms with or without a live audience of course. However, they can also add laughter out of a can if there is no audience. In other words, they can add a pre-recording of laughter to give the illusion of a live audience.
Another way of looking at what sitcom shows are is various comedy sketches that producers join together. The writers of sitcoms are very clever and indeed have much experience. As a result, comedy writers can make a 30 minute sitcom out of various sketches that can we can follow at ease. Of course the British writer, Carla Lane (1928-2016), was responsible for some excellent sitcoms in the UK. In general though, sitcoms are available in most countries around the world.
Examples Of Sitcom Shows

This was an extremely successful on-screen comedy and very funny indeed.Leonard Rossiter was a comedy genius whose timing was perfect.[/one_half][one_half_last padding=”0 0 0 10px”]

An example of a recent UK sitcom is ‘Not Going Out’. In Australia, Kath & Kim was indeed a fine example of a sitcom there in 2007. While in the USA, Roseanne was popular in the 80’s and 90’s.
