Spoons IS a sitcom

A synopsis (not mine)

Spoons follows the lives and loves of twenty and thirty-something urbanites as they flirt, argue and struggle to grow-up gracefully in bars, restaurants, parks and bedrooms. In this tangled web of fragile relationships and insecurity, you'll meet an colourful cast of spot-on characters.

Oh, thought it was a sketch show?

Well it has Josie D'Arby & Rob Rouse in it so it's doubtful it is even a comedy :O

Yes, I'm pretty sure that Spoons was 'marketed' at broadcast as sketch.

Art Attack was a good sketch show.

I have the DVD in front of me and I watching it - it IS a sitcom!!

Well, we obviously decided it wasn't. In fact, now we're talking about it, I remember watching some whilst waiting for whatever was broadcast after it, and deciding that it was sketch.

Wikipedia reckons it's a sketch show as well.
