    Sitcoms, or situation comedies, can make us laugh out loud. Maybe you didn't know that word "sitcom" before, but you might have heard of shows like Friends, How I Met Your Mother, and Modern Family, or the Chinese shows I Love My Family, Home with Kids, or My Own Swordsman. These are all sitcoms.
