US TV Series
美剧
一部美国电视剧一般25集左右，这是由美国特有的播映方式决定的。美国商业电视以每年9月中旬至第二年4月下旬为一个播出季，新季以美国电视艺术与科学协会主办的“艾美奖”颁奖典礼为序幕。美国电视剧一般一个星期只播一集，因此25集正好够播一季。美国的电视剧是边拍边播的，他们很注重收视率，一部收视率低下的电视剧是无法生存的，只要吸引不了观众的注意力，那么不管该剧的情节进行到何处，电视台都毫不留情地腰斩。

1美国情景剧
Although the concept of sitcoms had its inception in the Radio broadcasting section， it is those popular television sitcoms that still linger in our memories。 The sitcoms that made us laugh， made us cry but most of all， sitcoms allowed everyone of us to see ourselves within the complex yet real characters。 Suppose if every one of us were asked to list down the most popular sitcoms， there would be countless different and varied lists。 However there are a few popular ones that always feature in every list。 Let’s have a look at some of the most popular sitcoms， which we followed religiously and loved thoroughly…One of the most popular sitcoms in America which ran into 11 successful seasons and was known for its catchy jingle Where Everybody Knows Your Name。 Almost all of the episodes happened in the front room of a bar and created some legendary characters like Sam， Carla， Rebecca， Norm， Dianne， and of course the most popular –Dr。 Frasier。 Cheers had several running gags， which included Norm arriving in the bar greeted by a loud Norm！ Years of laughter and jokes that can still be enjoyed on re－runs and even DVDS， Well Cheers to that！
Perhaps the longest running and most successful sitcom that ran into ten seasons from 1993 to 2004 that revolved around Dr。 Frasier Crane， the character from the popular sitcom Cheers。 The sitcom Frasier won 37 Emmy awards during its 11 year run。 In this sitcom， Dr。 Frasier Crane returned his hometown of Seattle， Washington， after a broken marriage in Boston。 The show portrayed Frasier’s struggle to live a bachelor’s life in presence of his father， an ex－police officer Martin Crane， A frequent visitor to the Frasier apartment is his younger brother Niles， who is also a psychiatrist。 The Simpsons was the most popular animated American sitcom ever。 It was a burlesque spoof on the conventional American family， which always conveyed some social message without sounding didactic。 The Simpsons were portrayed as the classic American dysfunctional family complete with Homer， Marge Lisa and Bart and Maggie。
