People, I said "ensemble sitcom." It's short for "situation comedy." The word "situation" is not superfluous. A sitcom consists of recurring characters in a format (usually a 30 minute show once a week) in which there are one or more story lines centered around a common environment, such as a family home or workplace. The characters remain largely static and events in the sitcom resolve themselves by the conclusion of the show. Wikipedia entry.
The Simpsons is a sitcom. Carol Burnett and Donnie & Marie are not sitcoms. Sha Na Na is not a sitcom. Hee Haw is not a sitcom. The Dukes of Hazzard is not a sitcom. All in the Family is a sitcom, but is not an ensemble sitcom, because Archie was the only funny character.

How does Dukes of Hazzard not fit the definition? Please reconsider.
