Pamela Fryman
The first requirement for a sitcom director is a gift for comedy. Next comes charm and a consistent ability to pull punchlines from the chaos of a soundstage. American sitcom director and producer Pamela Fryman was apparently so good at all three, she became the go-to director to steer complex multi-camera sitcoms, developing long-running tenures on some of the most commercially and critically successful TV shows of her time.
