The concept of American family has changed over the years as portrayed in the sitcoms we watch. Things change over time and new generations want to watch something they can relate to. The older sitcoms like Brady Bunch and Leave It To Beaver are more basic and show life as a typical American family at that time. Another thing about the older shows is that they don't show some of the things you see on sitcoms now like sex, violence, drugs, and language. They are more appropriate for the time period in which they were made.
Audiences have expectations when they turn on any sitcom. Almost all sitcoms are similar because they use the same structure. There is just a few settings and several or just a few characters. There is always a problem that comes up toward the beginning of the show and the rest of the show is dedicated to fixing that problem. People are also expecting to laugh when watching sitcoms because they are supposed to be funny as well as have a good plot for each episode.
If my graduation from stevenson was the plot for a sitcom it would take place at the school and at my buddys house where we all hangout. The episode would be about me having to pass a class in order to graduate. That would be the problem or issue that comes up in every sitcom and the episode would be about me doing everything i can to pass and maybe some funny things that happen along the way and in the class. The complication would be all the work i had to do and how it interferes with my life . The climax would be me passing the class and graduating.
