Explanation:

The question asks for an explanatory thesis about sitcoms and reality - TV. An explanatory thesis presents an objective analysis. The statement that sitcoms are a low form of comedy focusing only on making people laugh with crude jokes while reality TV exploits base human nature is a judgmental stance. A more balanced and explanatory thesis could be one that presents both the positive and negative aspects of each without being overly critical or praising. The idea that sitcoms are valuable creative expressions with well - thought - out elements in writing, acting, and directing while also acknowledging the potential issues with reality TV, and that both stir up viewer emotions in different ways, provides a more comprehensive and explanatory view.

Reality TV feeds off the basest elements of human nature: cruelty, vulgarity, and exploitation of the most vulnerable of our society; conversely, sitcoms are valuable because they are creative expressions of well - thought - out writing, acting, and directing. Reality TV and sitcoms are favorite forms of entertainment that stir up the emotions of viewers, both positive and negative.
