A situation comedy (sitcom) is a genre of comedy performance originally devised for radio but today typically found on television. Sitcoms usually consist of recurring characters in a format in which there are one or more humorous story lines centred on a common environment, such as a family, home or workplace.

The situation comedy format seems to have originated in the old time radio era of the United Kingdom, but today they have become among the most popular programmes on the schedule.

As of 2006, the longest running sitcom is the UK's Last of the Summer Wine, which has been running continuously since 1973.
