Comedy drama, also known by the portmanteau dramedy,[1][2][3][4] is a genre of dramatic works that combines elements of comedy and drama. The modern, scripted-television examples tend to have more humorous bits than simple comic relief seen in a typical hour-long legal or medical drama, but exhibit far fewer jokes-per-minute as in a typical half-hour sitcom.
In the United States[]
Examples from United States television include: M*A*S*H, Moonlighting, The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd,[5] Northern Exposure, Ally McBeal, Sex and the City, Desperate Housewives[6] and Scrubs. The term "dramedy" was coined to describe the late 1980s wave of shows, including The Wonder Years, Hooperman,[7] Doogie Howser, M.D. and Frank's Place.[8]
In Indonesia[]
Examples from Indonesian television in the month of Ramadan 2023 include: Para Pencari Tuhan Jilid 16.[9]
