For example, in Everybody Loves Raymond there is an episode entitled "The Wallpaper" where Ray's parents drive a car through his front door. They end up paying for the damages, yet Ray isn't happy cause the wallpaper on the new wall doesn't match the original one. He gets pissed and his dad, Frank, declines to pay a cent more than he has too. After a while they reconcile and leave it be.
The whole moral of the story was about many things most noticeably greed and being too picky. TV sitcoms are usually based on the family life. And with family life sometimes comes family situations and family troubles. It is interesting to see these problems played out on tv. It kinda makes people go back and say "I remember when that happened in my life, I didn't see how it was funny then, but I do now". Sitcoms take a light look on the situation, highlight the funny, and solve the problem in the end. It's a classic formula and doesn't show signs of stopping anytime soon, and I couldn't see it better any other way.
