A television drama is one of those shows; I consider being one that you have to watch the very first episode in order to understand the plot. TV dramas are typically hour long shows that deal with some realistic and serious topics. This type of show is also classified as serial; it follows a set storyline that keeps its audience interested. This type of show is completely different than its counterpart are sitcoms. Sitcoms don’t typically have a set plot that you necessarily have to watch and understand from episode to episode. Sitcoms are usually about 30 minutes and sometimes predictable. Each episode does have its own “problem” that gets resolved quickly within its half hour time frame.
A sitcom I enjoy is ‘The Simpsons’, this show has been on the air for years and even though I haven’t seen every single episode, I know I can watch it and know what’s going on. As the seasons change, the characters never age; it’s always the same characters in the same way, just like the audience and grown to love. ‘The Simpsons’ also tend to follow the seasonal focus, for example their Halloween specials they run during October and how they make episodes that revolve around certain topics going on at the time.
