Under One Roof (Singaporean television programme)

Under One Roof (Chinese: 同在屋簷下) is a television programme in Singapore.

First aired in 1994, Under One Roof was the first locally-produced English sitcom in Singapore. A critical and popular success, the show won the Best Comedy Programme or Series Award at the Asian Television Awards in both 1996 and 1997, and paved the way for future sitcoms like Phua Chu Kang Pte Ltd, Mr. Kiasu, and Living with Lydia.

Under One Roof has been exported to Australia, Malaysia, Taiwan and Canada.

Because of its use of Singlish, the colloquial English in Singapore, Under One Roof has come under pressure by the Singaporean government to use only "proper" English.
