How Many Acts/Act Breaks Do Most Sitcoms Have?
This is for more television/sitcom structure--but does anyone know?
Are most sitcoms two acts with one act break/commercial break? Or are most sitcoms three acts with two act breaks/commercials breaks?
Thanks.

I only watch 3 network sitcoms and I think they all go like this:
I. Brief intro/prologue/credits
II. Commercial
III. Act II
IV. Commercial
V. Act III
VI. Commercial
VII. Brief epilogue (sometimes)/closing credits
