Everyone who teaches a course on the situation comedy (or who would like
to develop one) should know that examination copies of the new edition
of The Sitcom Reader, co-edited by my colleagues Mary M. Dalton and
Laura R. Linder, is available from SUNY Press,
http://www.sunypress.edu/p-
If you want to order a copy for your personal library, the SUNY Press
price for the softcover is $29.95 . Also, if you like what you see, you
may encourage your institutional libraries to add a copy to their
collections.
This updated and expanded anthology offers an engaging overview of one
of the oldest and most ubiquitous forms of television programming: the
sitcom. Through an analysis of formulaic conventions, the contributors
address critical identities such as race, gender, sexuality, class, and
family. Organized by decade, from I Love Lucy and The Honeymooners to
Roseanne, Cybill, and Will & Grace to Transparent with many others in
between, The Sitcom Reader provides a comprehensive examination of this
popular genre that will help readers think about the shows and about
themselves in new ways.
