The term [[Sit Com]] is a contraction of "Situation Comedy". Originally, sitcoms were broadcast on the radio. Before long, they progressed to television; the Ur-[[Sit Com]] on TV is ''[[I Love Lucy]]'', which pioneered many of the technical and comedic techniques used to this day, including [[Three Cameras]], but the first television sitcom is generally agreed to have been 1946's ''Pinwright's Progress'' on the BBC (all footage is lost, however).
