A Quote by Graham Linehan

People tend to group together their favourite sitcoms and feel that they all took place in one spot named 'the past', but in fact all these sitcoms are spread over a long period of time, and all the terrible sitcoms that were on have been justifiably forgotten.

I thoroughly enjoy sitcoms - the schedule that comes with them and the camaraderie you feel with a certain group of people when you've been working together for a long time.

Emily Osment

When I first started, they were trying to get me into sitcoms - I think because I had that kind of Wonder Bread look and my hair always went into place. I kept saying, 'I'm not good at sitcoms. I don't know how to do that.'

Brad Pitt

I have been approached now and again about sitcoms, but, with very few exceptions, one simply needs to move to L.A. for at least a year or two these days if one wants to develop a series - which is what writing a pilot means. I've also been approached about writing episodes for sitcoms, but in order to do that one actually has to watch sitcoms. . . . Life's too short for television, and I don't what it on my actual gravestone, HE STARED AT A BOX FOR 10,000 HOURS.

David Ives

I love sitcoms, and I grew up on sitcoms. That's my tasty junk food.

Felicia Day

The projects I have done on television, they're sitcoms, situational comedies. The problem is, maybe because they go on every day, Monday through Friday, one-hour format, maybe that's why they're labeled as a telenovela. But technically speaking, they're sitcoms because they're situational comedies.

Jaime Camil

I've always been terrible on regular sitcoms with lots of jokes. I don't know how to tell jokes.

Rainn Wilson

I've done some sitcoms here and there, but nothing long term.

Morena Baccarin

It's a hilarious part of my past, all the sitcoms I did in the '80s. And then all the animation - animation is amazing. It's really been great.

Pamela Adlon

I mean, sitcoms shouldn't be doing 'Saturday Night Live.' You can't just do bit after bit after bit. You have to string it together with tight writing and performances. Hollywood seems to have forgotten how to do this.

Joyce DeWitt

I was raised watching sitcoms, and I love long-form comedy.

Jermaine Fowler

If Shakespeare were alive today, he'd be doing sitcoms.

Roger Rees

If sitcoms were easy to write, there'd be a lot of good ones, and there aren't.

Alexei Sayle

There are so many sitcoms, especially in animation, that we've almost forgotten what animation was about - movement and visuals.

Genndy Tartakovsky

The success that I have in sitcoms comes from the fact that 60 percent of the writers are Jewish guys in their early to late 40s.

Sam Seder

I get approached to do shows all the time. There's a lot of money in sitcoms, but I've never been the kind of guy who wanted to do one. I don't think people want to see me saying "Honey, I'm home." It's just not my thing.

Chris Rock

I love sitcoms, and I grew up on sitcoms. That's my tasty junk food. So I wanted to create a sitcom and have some really quirky characters, because most of the stuff they make now is just so marginalized. How interesting is a white guy who's 28 years old and lives in New York? What story have we not seen about a character like that? Just as a writer, it's so much easier to come up with comedy when you have a really oppressed Indian boy. Or a mother who is an addict but still has to take care of her kids.
