cool book, don't know about the teacher though! my friend had a bad time at his class!

Scott Sedita presents a very thorough insight into the structure and characters of Sitcoms. It's good for actors, good for writers. It's well organized and very useful. The kind of book you keep on the shelf and refer to. ACTORS: it's a very good reference for your auditions.

This book is excellent on several levels. It is an extremely useful way to approach sitcom scene analysis through eight archetypal characters, and it has the added bonus of being both funny and fun. I mean, how often does a book help you to become a better bastard? Great for writers and actors - this book is an important resource if you are passionate about sit coms.

The book provides an excellent resource for anyone writing comedic material, whether sitcom based or not. These characters are timeless.

I was so impressed with this book. It is written mostly for actors, but is a gem for writers as well! This guy breaks down comedy like nothing I've ever seen.

Buy the book. It really is worth every dime - and no, I don't know the guy.
