A situation comedy, often shortened to the portmanteau sitcom, is a genre of comedy that features characters sharing the same common environment, such as a home or workplace, with often humorous dialogue. Such programs originated in radio, but today, sitcoms are found mostly on television as one of its dominant narrative forms. This form also includes mockumentaries such as The Office and Parks and Recreation.
A situation comedy television program may be recorded in front of a studio audience, depending on the program's production format. The effect of a live studio audience can be imitated by the use of a laugh track.
The terms "situational comedy" or "sitcom" weren't commonly used until 1950s. Some of the characters, pratfalls, routines and situations as preserved in eyewitness accounts and in the texts of the plays themselves, are remarkably similar to those in earlier modern sitcoms such as I Love Lucy and The Honeymooners. The first television sitcom is said to be Pinwright's Progress, ten episodes being broadcast on the BBC in the United Kingdom between 1946 and 1947. In the United States, director and producer William Asher has been credited with being the "man who invented the sitcom", having directed over two dozen of the leading sitcoms, including I Love Lucy, from the 1950s through the 1970s.

Genres: Horror,Is that like me
the last frustration you have saved
Is that like me
the degeneration of the brave
Is that like me
to treat my brother as a salve
Is that like me
the final reason to go away
Is that like me
to choose your heros and then decide
to shoot them down
and hold exhibits on their pyre
Is that like me
am I the cloth that wipes your smile
Is that me
or is it the images on your trial
Do you know the place I go to when the beatings arrive
Do you know the strengh I call on when they scream "crucify"
Do you need another reason to belittle my love
The Stigma you cast is really not enough
Is that like me
to put illusion in my veins
and shoot it down
before the Icons you portray
Is that like me
Another victim of decay
This room´s so cold
You kissed me twice and then betrayed
my only wish
To hold you near me in the night
Oh is that like me
