[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 411571, member: 7"] You definitely find these awkward pauses in THE OFFICE, PARKS AND RECREATION, MODERN FAMILY, and ABBOTT ELEMENTARY. They lean heavy into the mockumentary-style of sitcom. THE OFFICE acknowledged the completion of its documentary before the show itself wrapped up, while PARKS AND RECREATION never brought it up again. We're waiting to see what ABBOTT ELEMENTARY does when it ends one day down the road. I haven't seen the final seasons of MODERN FAMILY, so I don't know what they do with the documentary angle in the end. In basic, single-camera comedies, like SUPERSTORE and NEW GIRL, you don't have awkward pauses or looks into the camera. It's just a sitcom without an audience or laugh track. Sure, they borrow some from the mockumentary-style, but without the "talking head" interview segments or shaky camera work. [/QUOTE]
