What's not to love about TV comedies? They lighten the week, make us laugh, and are pure fun to watch with friends and family. There are so many elements that make a TV comedy special, but there is one real secret ingredient: the characters. If we love these characters, we'll come back episode after episode, week after week, in order to spend time with them.
