Default What would you watch first? Dramas or Sitcoms?

I can't watch Dramas for some reason. They just don;t hold my interest so i would say Sitcoms before Dramas

I am fond of both sitcoms and dramas from a certain era; I love sitcoms from the late 60's to the early 1980's, but I am an ardent fan of 1970's detective shows like The Rockford Files and Columbo...But Sitcoms are my favorite..So, if I had to choose..I would choose a sitcom....

This is hard...I like to watch sitcoms from the early 50's to late 80's (with a few exceptions). And I like a lot of different dramas from all different eras. However, I prefer sitcoms because they are there when you need a good laugh.

Sitcoms first. But if both are rubbish, then genre becomes irrelevant, and I'd rather turn off the TV.

for the most part dramas just don't do anything for me, the only things i can watch that arent comedies are like:

CSI (got bored of Law & Order long ago)
Dukes of Hazzard/BJ and the Bear (i have no idea what you would classify those as)
the Sopranos/Six Feet Under
Fantasy Island, the Love Boat

I'd watch either. I'd probably sample both, decide which I like best, then watch whichever I liked more...

Both, though I tend to lean more towards a good drama/action show than a sitcom.
