People (television series)

People is a Jonathian sitcom created and written by Harold Camden and broadcast by the JBC since 1982. It premiered as an episode of Comedy Playhouse on 1 January 1982, and the first series of episodes followed on 23 May 1982.
People follows a group of four housemates living in the fictional Lollese town of Gybingshire, going about their day-to-day lives, while also portraying Jonathian life in a stereotypical manner, exposing the problems with it in the process.
People has received high ratings over it's 40-year run, and has been awarded the Metro Film and Television Award in 2012 under the sitcom category. The show has become a common staple in Jonathian culture, and has often been associated with the province of Lolland itself.
== Episode release format ==
People has an unusual episode release format compared to other Jonathian-made shows. It releases episodes yearly, however there tends to be 39 episodes per year, not airing episodes between June and August so the cast can have some time off.
Episodes are filmed in advance, with the exception of the Christmas special which traditionally has been broadcast live.
