Since July 1998, the US television network station TV Land has produced a series of situation comedies with each episode lasting for just 60 seconds. The first series aired was The Gaveltons, about a family who sue everyone, even each other. The first 14 '60 Second Sitcom' episodes, which air between the network's usual lineup of shows, were produced with a budget of $250,000 (£151,081) - about half the current cost per minute of a half-hour comedy show.

Other shows now aired on the same channel include All's Well and Spin & Cutter.
