There are many aspects of a television sitcoms but the one that stands out to me is the mini resolutions. These are a part of almost every sitcom on television today. A mini resolution occurs when the characters in a sitcom face a problem during an episode. Once the problem evolves the characters then spend the rest of the episode trying to resolve the conflict. If the conflict is resolved within that particular episode then it was a mini resolution. A mini resolution occurs towards the end of an episode in order to assure the viewer that the show will end on a somewhat good note.
A mini resolution functions within the sitcom genre in many ways. A sitcom is a show that is usually thirty minutes and contains a good amount of humor. Viewers who watch these types of shows are those who are looking for a quick bit of comedy and do not want to watch a show for possibly a whole hour. A mini resolution ties into a quick sitcom because it is the idea that instead of having a full resolution a mini one occurs. It is at the end of the episode and it assures the viewer that happy endings do exist.
In the late 80’s early 90’s television sitcom Full House, the characters face problems in almost every episode. This show contains family oriented humor and was very popular during its airtime. Families gathered around their TV’s every week to watch as the “full house” worked together to live and solve problems. Almost every episode has some sort of humorous problem that is solved with a mini resolution. The min resolution served as relief to a sometimes panicked audience.
