I like them both, but I think a lot more sitcoms will be un-traditional from now on.

It's just a phase. One camera shows like "Malcom In The Middle" and "Scrubs" are hits, so every network now has to have a one camera sitcom.

Not only do they copy show ideas, the networks are now copying styles.

I don't care whatever the format is. I just want to see a great show. But if I were to choose just one, I would choose a show with a studio audience.

yeah and it looks like FOX is getting rid of all there three camera shows and using the one camera format now...

One Camera:

-Andy Richter controls the universe
-The Bernie Mac Show
-Malcolm in the middle

and theres The Simpsons, Futurama and King of the Hill so I guess they would sorta fit under here cause theyre not filmed (or drawn) in front of an audience

Three Camera:

-That 70's show

is that just a coincedence or are they trying to get rid of it?

Hmm. Interesting theory.

I guess FOX has just had more luck cranking out quality one camera shows, while their three camera comedies (with the acception of 70's Show) have all tanked.

Actually "Watching Ellie" is going to become tradtitional with a studio audience for it's 2nd season so that should be interesting.

I prefer sitcoms without a live audience. I get really annoyed at the hooting and wooing and hollaring!

You know they are being "prompted"

I'm a little disappointed that "Watching Ellie" is abandoning the "real time" single camera gimmick.
While I do think the idea would have gotten tedious after a while, at least they had the guts to try something different.
Hopefully, they will be able to keep things going, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
