Alternative Sitcoms

I researched into sitcoms that feature very basic locations, simple storylines and a small cast that barely changes between each episode, although guest actors appear in some of the episodes.
The first TV show that I looked at was Outnumbered. This is comedy at a very basic level. It is about a family who attempt to navigate the trials of everyday life. The setting for each of the episodes are the family's house, moving to different locations for other episodes, such as an airport and a church. Most of the comedy is also provided through the dialogue exchanges from them all.

I also researched into The Inbetweeners. This has more varied locations than what most other sitcoms have. A frequent setting is the sixth form/ secondary school in which the students attend. The cast is also small with the central characters being four friends. The storylines are also simple as it has them to trying to fit in at College and how everything seems to backfire on them.

The third and final sitcom into which I researched was The Green Green Grass, a spinoff from Only Fools and Horses, focusing on Boycie and Marlene as they move to the countryside and attempt to settle into the local neighbourhood. This is once again a comedy, and uses very limited locations. The main setting is the house and other parts of the farm, although it does occassionally drift to the local pub. The storylines are kept basic, following one storyline. Past episodes are sometimes referenced, which doesn't make it necessary to follow the story to understand what is happening in each episode.
