Bakalářská práce definuje žánr situační komedie a popisuje vznik a vývoj tohoto žánru. Práce se zaměřuje na stereotypy Afroameričanů, které se začaly vyskytovat během otroctví. Tyto stereotypy jsou poté porovnávány se zastoupením Afroameričanů ve třech amerických černošských sitcomech minulého století v sedmdesátých letech - The Jeffersons, v osmdesátých letech - The Cosby Show a sitcom, který představoval v této práci současnost byla Atlanta. V těchto sitcomech jsem provedl rozbor vyobrazení každé významné postavy a srovnal jsem je se stereotypickými vlastnostmi, které jsou spojovány s Afroameričany. Práce dále zkoumá témata těchto seriálů a zjišťuje, zda měly dopad na americkou společnost.

The thesis defines what a situational comedy is, how it was created, and how it evolved over time. The main focus is placed on stereotypes of African Americans created during the age of slavery. These stereotypes are later contrasted with the portrayal of African Americans in three American black sitcoms in the 1970s - The Jeffersons, the 1980s - The Cosby Show and today - Atlanta. While focusing on the specific situational comedies, the portrayal of each prominent character was examined and compared with stereotypical features associated with African Americans. The thesis also examines the topics discussed in the shows and discusses whether they had an impact on American society.

This thesis will define what a Situational comedy is, how the genre was created and how it evolved throughout time. The main focus will be placed on three American television series and their portrayal of African Americans in 1970's, 1980's and today. While focusing on the specific Situational comedies I will analyse the topics discussed in each of the shows, I will study the humour and identify whether it changed in time. Furthermore, historical and political background of the certain decades will be provided.
