ALL RESOLVED IN JUST 30 MINUTES

The sitcom has always been a kind of show that entertains us for about half an hour with the outrageous plot lines and problems that the characters tend to get into but at the end of the show after many laughs and sometimes imposible actions the problems are solved and everything returns to the happy settings of before.The problems faced are mostly happening to the main character of the sitcom, who has done something wrong or has gotten themselves in a situation that deals with some kind of moral value. Most of the time the plot involves the person going to extrem lengths so that the victim of the wrong doing does not find out about it. This of course paves way for the story line to become very funny for the writers have more to grab in order to make the story line more interesting instead off just having a mono tone plot line. Never the less after all the twists and turns the protagonist manages to save the day.

In the show "Thats's So Raven", Raven the protagonist which is a psychic;  finds herself in situations that her visions put her in. Her visions are misleading which make her think that they are going to happen a certain way and when it does it is totally different then what she thought. This makes her do something right which seems wrong or makes her do something wrong that she has to fix. In an episode Raven finds herself turning in a hate letter instead of a composition for one of her classes. Raven then has a vison of her teacher reading the letter. In order for her teacher not to see the hate letter Raven along with her friends decide to steal the letter back. Since the classroom door is locked she has to enter the classroom thru a cracked window on top of the door once in there she finds out that the drawer which contains the letter is locked also. Raven decides to steal the desk and take it somewhere to be unlocked this causes her to go on a wild ride literally when she rides on the desk down a hill so that her teacher does't find out that the desk is missing. In the end the teacher opens the drawer for her and she manages to take the letter out. Raven's vision does not come true she then realizes that hate mail is something wrong and it could have gotten her in a major problem. As an any sitcom the protagonists gets into the problem does the impossible to get out of it and manges to do so under 30 minutes.
