zooo, it means instead of having a rehearsed reading of a play or sketch, we have a reading of a sitcom, like in the Sitcom Trials or similar.
Obsession with Reading out Sitcoms? Page 4
there's the fringe for plays though

Quote: Tim Azure @ June 18 2010, 6:58 PM BSTI was thinking of groups who you would normally send sketches to wanting sitcoms
Have you got an example Tim?

Right. Thank you kindly!

Quote: Tim Azure @ June 17 2010, 1:47 PM BSTWhat is this obsession with reading out sitcoms? Are sitcoms the most marketable form of writing, because I don't think they are.

I get your gist now. Your question is basically "Why are there so many sitcom scripts having live read-throughs at the expense of sketches and plays which have more chance of commercial success?"
Seems to me the opposite's true. I've been to tons of live sketch shows at comedy clubs, Edinburgh etc, but less than two sitcom readings.

And it only took 4 pages to figure out what the question was. 
Identifying the question is never the answer.
It's not a bad first step, though.
Yes but remember you never get a second chance to make a first step.
