Cheese and corn

[James]

I have always wondered the following:

1. What does it mean for a sitcom to be cheesy?

2. What does it mean for a sitcom to be corny?

[Chocoholic]

I think a cheesy sitcom is one that's just so sickingly sweet that your teeth actually hurt just from watching it, like Full House and The Brady Bunch.

I think a corny sitcom is one that relies way too much on slapstick and unrealistic humor, like Three's Company and Beverley Hillbillies.

Just my opinion :D

Cheesy = moralistic, sappy, overdramatic
Corny = cliched, tries too hard to be funny

[Impressions]

Cheesy Sitcom: Wholesome, Innocent, and Giddy.
Corny Sitcom: Fictitious and Artificial, Harebrained and Melodramatic.

[JT]

Cheesy - Boring, Sappy, Preachy
Corny - Vain, Unfunny, boring, dumb jokes, predictible

[*GoodMorningCalgary*]

Cheesy- Full House
Corny- A.U.S.A

[Sitcomwriter]

Chessy-A preachy family show that isn't even very funny (IE.Full House and The Brady Bunch)

Corny-A show with extremely bad acting and unrealistic plots (IE.On The Spot even though I like that show and The Pitts)

[Penny Lane]

Cheesy; Father Knows Best

Corny; Green Acres
