The American Cinema Editors Award for Best Edited Comedy Series for Commercial Television is one of the annual awards given by the American Cinema Editors. It has evolved throughout the history of the American Cinema Editors Awards, narrowing its eligibility field numerous times. * From 1962 to 1972, the award did make any distinctions between continual series and/or miniseries or television movies, or the genres of comedy and drama. * In 1973, the award became Best Edited Episode from a Television Series, which it would remain from 20 years. * In 1993, the award started separating series based on their running time, becoming Best Edited Half-Hour Series for Television. * In 2018, the category dropped running time distinctions, as well as adding distinctions between viewing types (commercial television vs. non-commercial), and became Best Edited Comedy Series for Commercial Television. * In 2021, the comedy series categories were re-arranged into Best Edited Single-Camera Comedy Series and Best Edited Multi-Camera Comedy Series.
