sit-coms as they are lovingly referred to has captured the hearts of the American public and there seems to be no end to their reign in the ratings.

In the early television days the first situation comedies were family oriented shows like Father Knows Best, which aired in 1954 and Leave it to Beaver, which aired in 1957. Later on came My Three Sons, which aired in 1960 and ended in 1972. These were just a few of the first shows that had comedy plots, but often had a more sentimental touching side as well.
