Comedy drama is a genre of dramatic works that combines elements of comedy and drama. As such, it is also known by the portmanteau dramedy.[1][2][3][4]
Examples from United States television include The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd,[5] 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]
