Welcome to ComedySeries.info, the guide to different kinds of comedy series - from radio comedy shows, movies series to most popular, tv comedy series, often simply called sitcoms, although not all of the tv comedy series are actually sitcoms. We gather the informations about the top comedy series, as well as the less known one and even those that were complete flops and never reached more than just few episodes.
In the TV comedy series catalogue you'll find most of the productions that we call now comedy series, f.e. sitcoms, sketch-based series, etc. Right now they are the most common of the comedy series since movie comedy series and radio comedy series (with some exceptions) are getting rather rare jewel.
There weren't much movie comedy series (comparing to tv comedy series), but we're displaying them in separate catalogue since they usually attract different kind of viewers than tv comedy series. Of course the line between movie comedy series and just sequels of a movie is rather thin, but we'll try to draw the line between them.
Now the radio comedy series aren't as popular as hey were 50-80 years ago, but many of them were milestones that brought tv comedy series. All the Old Time Radio fans will tell you that. And contrary tho common believe radio comedy series are still being produced.
There were great sitcoms in the history, there were sitcoms that failed completely, but the sadest are the ones that were well written, had great cast, great atmosphere and... still they were overlooked by the audience.
This is story of one of those overlooked gems of comedy - 1995 sitcom NewsRadio starring Dave Foley, Stephen Root, Maura Tierney and Phil Hartman. This sitcom had everything that is needed to made it to the top... yet it didn't and still it's hard to point out what exactly went wrong.
