Improvised sitcoms are a recent television phenomenon in which there is no definite script for the actors and actresses.
 Rather, the actors/actresses use the process of retroscripting in which there are rough outlines of themes and stories, but the dialogue is up for the actors/actresses to improvise.
 Because of the improvised fashion, these sitcoms are usually shot by handheld camera in a documentary-type style.
 Usually these shows have no laugh tracks, predetermined entrances, or punchlines.
 Such improvised sitcoms include "Curb Your Enthusiasm", "Home Movies" and "Reno 911!
".
 In addition to these, there are many scripted shows that will, after getting principal photography, let the actors do a couple of improv takes, and often some of the best jokes that make it on the show will come from these takes.
 Notable examples of this would be the US version "The Office" or "Parks and Recreation" and the British show The Thick of it
