The best book on sitcom writing, bar none. Tells you everything you need to know, from character construction to story arcs to how to get an agent... even if you don't live in Los Angeles. I've made my living as a writer for 20 years, and this book is very, very helpful. It's also very, very funny, which one would expect in a book about sitcom writing. Highly recommended, look no further.

Not very impressed. Just general information. A lot about dealing with the business side. If you want to learn to write a sitcom, study story structure first. Get a Syd Field book and learn about plot points, ect. The "writers journey" is a good book to pick up too. Find some sitcom scripts online and study those.
Study well written shows like "30 Rock". Also study crappy shows like "Two and a half men".

Although it has an unfortunate title (who the hell wants to write sitcoms? - aren't they supposed to be dead?), this book is one of the better resources on the subject of television writing in general. It paints a very realistic picture of the business and acknowledges some of the changes that are taking place within the industry. This is a good book for someone who already knows how to write a solid script, but who'd like to learn more about the TV biz.

I scanned right throught the pages like I needed the cool breeze and stopped on the "how much will I make" page and well, it looks good to me. I also looked in other areas of the book and before I even read it I know it's exactly what I was looking for. A must for even a dream sitcom writer like me. This is a real shortcut, it covers all the information you will ever need.

Evan Smith introduces Writing Television Sitcoms as the all-in-one writer's guide to sitcoms. It sounds heavy, but honestly true. There is no aspect of TV sitcom writing a student, or otherwise, could dream up a question for which Smith doesn't have an answer. He covers how to create a sitcom, write it, and sell it. And in the first chapters he even details how anyone can make a career in writing. You will find yourself beaming with childlike enthusiasm as your eyes run through Writing Television Sitcoms.
