''Sons & Daughters'' is an American situation comedy about an extended blended family living close together in a neighborhood.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tv.com/shows/sons-and-daughters/ )〕 The producers, creator Fred Goss (who also is the star of the show), Lorne Michaels (who was a co-creator of ''Saturday Night Live''), and Nick Holly, flavored the show with a mixed atmosphere of improvisational and scripted humor. The show premiered on March 7, 2006 on ABC. The show is produced by Broadway Video (which also produces ''Saturday Night Live'') and NBC Universal Television. It was canceled in late April 2006 after 10 episodes aired, leaving one unaired episode. The whole series was aired on the Seven Network in Australia, including the final previously unaired episode, ending on August 6, 2007. Coincidentally, the Seven Network also screened the earlier Australian soap opera of the same name. In December 2010, ITV1 started showing the series in the United Kingdom for the first time, over four years since its American showing. The show has also been aired on TV3 in Ireland. There are currently no plans to release ''Sons & Daughters'' on DVD from Universal Studios Home Entertainment. ==Improvisational aspect== ''Sons & Daughters'' has been dubbed a "unique hybrid comedy"; the show followed the format used in ''Curb Your Enthusiasm'', using a partly scripted, partly improvisational comedy dialogue. In an interview with co-creator Nick Holly from the Associated Press, he explained that the actors were presented not with a traditional script, but with a "short story" that "occasionally includes a line or two of dialogue, but is normally just this novelization." Unlike the traditional sitcom, ''Sons & Daughters'' was not filmed with a live studio audience and did not use a laugh track for the show. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sons & Daughters (2006 TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
