"Black-ish" is a popular American sitcom that premiered in 2014 and is still running. The show is centered around an African-American family, the Johnsons, who live in the wealthy and predominantly white neighborhood of Los Angeles. The series explores issues of race, class, and identity in a comedic way, while also touching on more serious topics.

According to the series' creator Marc Cherry, "Desperate Housewives TV show" recreates the suburban malaise of the hit movie American Beuaty, substituting irony for melancholy. Cherry reportedly conceived the show after watching news reports about Andrea Yates. When he first pitched the show, Cherry called it a "parody" of soap operas; when ABC picked-up the show, executives told Cherry to focus on the soap opera and the parody would take care of itself. They were right. Up and down Wisteria Lane, four women wage love and sustain family life, cleverly concealing all kinds of insidious plots, illicit affairs, and the occasional felony. Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross, and Eva Longoria Parker have imprinted their styles on their characters, collecting armloads of Emmys, Golden Globe Awards, and Screen Actors' Guild Awards along the way. In April, 2007, ratings experts reported "Desperate Housewives" was the most popular tv show in its global demographic, boasting more 120 million worldwide viewers. Behind the scenes, a little bit of the show's history reveals how Disney executives can overdose on their own sugary snacks. Shortly after programmers Lloyd Braun and Susan Lyne gave the go-ahead for "Desperate Housewives," the suits fired them, because they simultaneously had approved an extremely "risky" TV show called "Lost."

Television snobs maintain the American version of "The Office" TV series pales by comparison with its British forerunner. Their sneers, however, have done nothing to diminish "The Office's" standing as America's premier sitcom. Audiences and critics wholeheartedly agree the Dunder Mufflin office follies restored NBC as network television's pre-eminent purveyor of great half-hour comedies. Filmed as a "mockumentary," the American "Office" TV show remains faithful to the British example of perfectly deadpan delivery, and the producers wisely add neither laugh-tracks nor musical cues. Of course, brilliant one-liners punctuate the show, but they are subtle and ironic rather than snappy. For example, in characteristically clueless style, Scranton office manager Michael Scott tells his staff, "As Abe Lincoln once said: If you are a racist, we will attack you from the North." Steve Carrell leads a well-chosen ensemble cast who portray a sales force the New York Times aptly characterized as "uniformly unattractive, wan and dull" characteristics which, of course, make them deliciously funny.

Superstore is a television series that aired on NBC from 2015 to 2021. The show follows the daily lives of employees working at a fictional big-box store called Cloud 9 in St. Louis, Missouri. The show explores the challenges and humor that comes with working in a retail environment, and delves into the personal lives of the characters.

In a comedy based on a novel with the same name by David J. Rosen, I Just Want My Pants Back follows poor Jason Strider as he searches for his favorite pair of jeans. Seems he had a one night stand with a girl and it ended with him missing not only his pants but the girl as well. Now he must hunt around in New York City, no small task, and hopefully get his best pair of pants back and perhaps the girl as well. Jason is also trying to handle a new job working at a casting agency. Her name is Jane and Jason thinks she just might be "the one" for him! But now he can't find her. Peter Vack (As The World Turns) is Jason Strider, his best friend Tina is played by Kim Shaw from Sex and the City, Did You Hear About The Morgans?), Chris Parnell (Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, Answer This!) is Jason's casting agency boss. A typical "twenty something" living in Brooklyn, Jason prefers hanging with friends, finding a better job, and hitting the bars. But he begins to grow up as he seeks the missing girl he apparently fell in love with and now wants to find the elusive Jane.

Previewing "Breaking In" for the press, star Brett Harrison suggested, "If you like "The A-Team", you'll like "Breaking In". If you like "The Office",'you'll like "Breaking In". And if you like breaking-in, you will like "Breaking In!". Harrison's observation proved strangely prophetic in at least two ways: First, the new Fox comedy does combine comic elements from "The Office" with "The A-Team's" dark, sarcastic point of view. Office humor"”there's just no such thing as too much. Second, the weak attempt at humor in Harrison's last line is sadly characteristic of the writing for "Breaking-In." Apparently, the B&E crowd lobbied for its own version of appointment viewing. Who knew? Although it's becoming this season's standard"”bad guys gone good, the premise nevertheless has promise. Five exceptionally skilled and highly specialized burglars team-up to operate Contra Security, a consulting firm that tests companies' security systems by breaking into them. Borrowing liberally from "Leverage" and "Breakout Kings," this wickedly bland team includes a hacker, a bad girl who can pick any lock, a semi-skilled con man, and a mysterious boss. First episode ratings may prophecy the sitcom's fate. Scheduled right after a big-big episode of "American Idol", "Breaking In" carried approximately 19 million viewers into its time-slot; by the end of its half-hour, 12 million of them had tuned-in elsewhere.
