This week’s discussion points are (you can choose to write to one of these points, or a combination of them):
How do differences in traditional and contemporary sitcom style present humour in different ways?
How might the rise of the contemporary sitcom style be shaped by changes in the TV III and TV IV ecosystem?
Traditional television sitcom is regarded as a “conservative” form of television that dominated TV comedy throughout much of the 20th century. Does this hold true of television comedy in the 21st century?
there are some required views:
1. Friends: The One with the Cuffs – Series 4 – Episode 3
