A sitcom is a specific genre of comedy with recurring characters in a common setting, often filmed before a live audience.

TV Genre

Many sitcoms include canned laughter or 'laugh tracks' to cue the audience when to laugh.

Laugh Tracks

Sitcoms usually have episodic stories, which means each episode has a self-contained plot.
