# American Cinema Editors Award for Best Edited Half-Hour Series for Television

The American Cinema Editors Award for Best Edited Half-Hour Series for Television is a former award, broadly awarding a variety of comedic shows. In 2018, the category dropped running time distinctions, as well as adding distinctions between viewing types (commercial television vs. non-commercial), and became Best Edited Comedy Series for Commercial Television and Best Edited Comedy Series for Non-Commercial Television respectively. In 2021, the comedy series categories were re-arranged into Best Edited Single-Camera Comedy Series and Best Edited Multi-Camera Comedy Series.
