Bing TV Sitcoms Quiz – Characters, Episodes and Catchphrases
Sitcoms, short for situation comedies, have been a TV favorite since the 1950s. A good sitcom gives viewers characters they want to visit every week, often in a familiar setting like an apartment, a bar or an office.
Settings are often the best clue. Friends met at Central Perk, Cheers took place in a Boston bar and The Office followed the staff of Dunder Mifflin in Scranton. Brooklyn Nine-Nine was set in a police precinct, and Parks and Recreation in the fictional town of Pawnee.
Running jokes and catchphrases keep fans coming back. Joey's How you doin', Sheldon's three-times knock in The Big Bang Theory and Seinfeld's reputation as a show about nothing became part of everyday language.
Formats changed over the decades. I Love Lucy was filmed in front of a live audience in the 1950s, while Modern Family and The Office used a mockumentary style with interviews. Each new style kept the sitcom fresh for a new generation.
