You guys know any books or websites (or people) that could give me information on situation comedy? Ex. What makes them successful.....Thank You

The best book that I have found about sitcoms in general (well, actually the only one on the subject) is Rick Mitz's The Great TV Sitcom Book,
published by Richard Marek Publishers in 1980. I don't recall where I got my
copy. It is out-of-print, but you might find one on eBay. It gives lengthy
descriptions of the more popular shows (and shorter synopses of the others)
for all sitcoms from 1949 to 1979. In the introduction, he discusses the
"Seven Sitcom Species," stock sitcom characters, canned laughter, the first
sitcoms (many of which were carried over from radio, by the way), reruns,
and sitcom cycles (among other aspects of the genre). Good overview.
Well illustrated. Highly recommended.

Great book on sit-coms. I bought the book when it first came out in 1980 and recently bought a copy on eBay :wave:
