    Ok, this list is a complete bomb, drama is a generic term as is and it's being used improperly. This whole entire thing needs a complete overhaul. It's stupid, stupid, stupid.

    No votes for Sons of Anarchy? I haven't watched it (yet), but I bump into massive fans of this show all of the time.

      Editing … Seriously. I removed HIMYM's drama classification and someone...put it back as a drama. Scrubs, however, ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrubs_%28TV_series%29 ) says it's a drama. Trailer Park Boys is a mockumetary and a comedy and is NOT a drama ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailer_Park_Boys ). Rosanne is NOT a drama. It is a sitcom and comedy ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roseanne ). As for Pokemon, sure it's a cartoon however there are quite a few serious and drama filled moments in the show and it's not all comedy in fact one could argue that it's a 50/50 split between comedy and drama. However, yeah, this list is a fucking mess. I'm not sure why people feel the need to be ultra retarded and classify stuff as things they are not.

      Editing … On Wikipedia, Scrubs is listed as sitcom/comedy-drama and Daria is listed as sitcom/teen drama/black comedy. I think those are pretty apt descriptions. Both shows are very funny but also have serious, dramatic sides. The later seasons of Daria where she and Jane are fighting over Tom definitely qualify as drama, and I've always thought that Scrubs was a little too sappy, romantic, and depressing to be a great comedy show.

      Editing … I would call Pokemon's serious elements action or adventure rather than drama. Is every children's action or adventure show a drama? Pokemon has jokes too but I'm not sure I'd call it a comedy.

    How's everyone else defining what's a drama and what isn't? Is it just every fictional TV show?

      Editing … Broadly speaking, it's used for all of the non-comedy TV fiction shows, as well as some of the comedies that have significant enough serious parts to be called comedy-drama. So no on Family Guy. You could interpret it more strictly as serious talky time shows like The Wire as opposed to blatant action-thrillers like 24, but my guess is it won't go down like that.

      Editing … So no full on comedies? Okay but even then that's one hell of a broad genre. I reckon HIMYM, Only Fools and The Simpsons are comedy-dramas so I'll count those. What about Doctor Who and The Twilight Zone?

      Editing … Wikipedia "A drama film is a film genre that depends mostly on in-depth development of realistic characters dealing with emotional themes. Dramatic themes such as alcoholism, drug addiction, infidelity, moral dilemmas, racial prejudice, religious intolerance, sexuality, poverty, class divisions, violence against women and corruption put the characters in conflict with themselves, others, society and even natural phenomena."
