Dissertation note: BA (Hons) in Film and Documentary. Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, 2020 Summary: This will examine if Dan Harmon’s story circle creates a perfect model for the American sitcom. Harmon is credited with creating the successful American sitcoms Community (2009) and Rick and Morty (2013). His success in sitcom writing is largely due to his relentless pursuit of perfect structure. Throughout Harmon’s career and his extensive studies of the theories of Joseph Campbell, Harmon has managed to distill a storytelling formula called the “Story Circle”. This functions as an easy to follow template for creating a compelling character arc for a story.
