Situation comedies and comedy-variety shows of the American radio networks, from Amos 'n' Andy and The Jack Benny Program to Fibber McGee and Molly and Burns and Allen. A work belongs here when its article calls it an American radio comedy or situation comedy. It excludes quiz shows, variety programmes and British comedies. Programmes are placed by the format their cited article names for them, and each programme sits in exactly one group of this subcategory, so a series that fits two formats goes where its article places it first.
