Popular culture has established a peculiar genre on television with the sitcom. While TV series often explore areas that can be drastically different from the viewer's everyday life, the sitcom has resisted this perspective for over half a century. Instead, it directs popular cultural attention to themes that are situated within our everyday horizon and provides descriptions of daily life in a pointed manner. In doing so, it consolidates a wealth of social relevance and situates it where it simultaneously finds its audience: at home, in their own four walls. Situation comedies prove to be sociological tools of understanding, as they depict normatively charged images of everyday life—precisely because they are constructions of reality of the second order.
