    About 1990s Comedy TV Shows

    The 1990s

    1990s television was the last era of true mass audiences, when a network sitcom or a season finale could be a shared national event.

    Comedy

    TV comedy has moved from the multi-camera sitcom to the single-camera half-hour to the genre-blurring 'sadcom.' The format's real advantage is time — jokes that depend on years of accumulated character history.
