Sitcoms have been popular among audiences for more than 80 years now. Mary Kay and Johnny, released in 1947 and spanning over 300 episodes, is considered to be the first sitcom to be broadcasted on American network television. The 1951 sitcom, I Love Lucy starring Lucille Ball, is one of the earliest sitcoms to garner huge popularity.

The sitcom Seinfeld starring the titular stand up comedian Jerry Seinfeld as a fictionalised version of himself, was critically acclaimed for its writing and is considered by many to be one of the greatest sitcoms of all time.

Friends Arrested Development, How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory and It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia are some of the other most popular sitcoms from the United States. It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, which came out in 2005, was renewed for its 15th season in 2020 and is thus the longest running live-action American sitcom of all time.
