Television: Where Are All the Good Sitcoms?

Drama, Drama, Drama, that is pretty much the only thing that is broadcast on Television, along with reality Television shows. A s more of those types of Television shows come along, less Sitcoms are show. In the eighties and nineties Sitcoms where all the rage with many Sitcoms running from 6 to 10 years. Shows like Growing Pains, Family Matters, Full House and The Fresh Prince of Bel Air were high in the ratings and shows that people would go to school or work ta lking about the next day.

Currently Dramas like The O.C., 24, CSI, and Prison Break, and reality shows like Survivor and The Apprentice are the show that are discusses in school and at work. Sitcoms are no longer a hot topic. The main reason for that may be writers block. A lot of Sitcoms that have come on in the last few years have been very predictable. It seems to be difficult to put a new spin on a sitcom. Proof of that can be seen in the numerous failed spin-offs of popular shows like Seinfeld and Friends, as well as the failed That 80s Show.

With the lack of unique idea and creativity presented in Sitcoms, reality and Drama show will continue to dominate primetime Television spots.
