In the first of three lectures focused on successful TV genres, look at the longest running sitcom in television history, The Simpsons. This lecture shows you why jokes are not the key to humor; it's all in the characters and their ongoing conflict with the world around them. Look at the episode "Duffless" and see how it works as a great example of sitcom writing.
