About Sit-Com Writing
Sitcoms are the most popular form on television and provide more work than any other kind of writing. The best comedy writing in the entertainment industry is done on sitcoms.

The trick is knowing the sitcom story structures that actually produce the laughs, writing comedy from character, and playing with the ongoing web of oppositions.
