Comedy-drama, or dramedy, is a genre of dramatic works that combines elements of comedy and drama.[1][2]

In the United States[edit]

Example include The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd, which aired from 1987 to 1991[3] and Desperate Housewives (2004 - 2012).[4] The term "dramedy" was coined to describe the late 1980s wave of shows, including Hooperman,[5] Doogie Howser, M.D., and Frank's Place.[6]
