What is a genre of comedy centered on fixed characters who carry over from episode to episode?

I hate laugh tracks. So false and annoying

Ahh Friends, love it!!

Loren, my favorite is still Murphy Brown.

Akamai 👑 Haulana, Hmh! maybe. I should try and watch a episode of friends! seems like everyone loves it! so I should probably watch it someday! and I hope I won't regret it! ( love sitcoms!)

That's friends! they were actually not a bad looking group of friends!

My favourite sitcom is Last Man Standing.

Friends will always hold a special place in my heart. Rest In Love Matthew Perry.

My all time favourite is Everybody Loves Raymond. Absolutely brilliant!

Went to fa taping of Cheers
