Here are 15 weird (and fun) facts about SitcomsOnline.com — some from the site’s history, some about what makes it uniquely weirdly awesome for sitcom fans:
1. It started in 1999 as a “shrine to every sitcom ever seen.”
The founder’s goal wasn’t just news — it was to immortalize sitcoms online.
2. The entire site was created by one fan (Todd Fuller).
Unlike many large entertainment sites, this one began as a labor of love by a single person.
3. It claims to list every sitcom ever to air.
Yep — from I Love Lucy to modern shows — all are supposed to be cataloged.
4. The daily news blog has never missed a day of updates since 2005.
That’s more than 18 years of nonstop sitcom news!
5. A review quote from the site appeared on a CBS TV promo.
That’s right — cable TV used the site’s words in an on-air commercial!
6. You can download 1,300+ sitcom theme songs (in WAV format).
That’s a lot of door-slamming, laugh track nostalgia.
7. There are message boards for over 300 sitcoms.
That includes classics and weirdly obscure ones.
8. The site once provided downloadable video clips (and not just news).
A relic from early web days when that was rare!
9. It’s been featured in TV Guide, Entertainment Weekly, and even a TV news segment.
A fan site earning mainstream press — that’s unusual!
10. Despite being niche, it boasts millions of visitors since 1999.
That’s impressive for a pre-social media hobby project.
11. The team behind it is all-volunteer and unpaid.
No big salaries here — just sitcom passion.
12. Unusual merchandise pages!
You can (or could) buy sitcom posters, theme song CDs, mugs, caps — it’s like a sitcom museum online.
13. The message board community has tens of thousands of fans.
Still active decades after launch.
14. It tracks sitcom airings and schedules, not just news.
That’s like mixing TV Guide with fan blogging.
15. Even obscure and vintage sitcoms get love — and not just mainstream hits.
From Happy Days to lesser-remembered shows, the archive is wide.
