"Some TV shows are classified as dramas, but they contain more one-liners, ironic punchlines, and comedic situations than the average sitcom. Traditionally, scripted TV shows are split into two categories: half-hour comedies, noted for their wacky characters and hilarious situations, and hour-long dramas, defined by their complex, three-dimensional characters and long-running serialized storylines. But there's a lot of crossover between the two genres, which makes it tricky to categorize them for the Emmy and Golden Globe nominations. There are some comedies with dramatic elements, and some dramas with comedic elements. Some of the most engaging and well-rounded dramas ever made are created by comedy writers who mix humor into their tragedy. Some shows use bleak irony to darkly comedic effect. Despite the TV industry's obsession with keeping comedy and drama separate, some of the funniest shows on the air are technically dramas." - screenrant.com
