"Under One Roof" (zh-st|s=同一屋檐下|t=同一屋簷下) is a television programme in Singapore.
First aired in 1994, "Under One Roof" was the first locally-produced English-language 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 "Happy Belly", "Phua Chu Kang Pte Ltd", "Mr. Kiasu", and "Living with Lydia".
It starred a multicultural cast reflecting the ethnic makeup of Singapore: Moses Lim (Tan Ah Teck), Koh Chieng Mun (Dolly), Vernetta Lopez (Denise), Nicholas Lee (Ronnie), Andrew Lim (Paul), Selena Tan (Paul’s wife, Anita), Zaibo (Yusof), Norleena Salim (Rosnah) and Daisy Irani (Daisy).
"Under One Roof" has been exported to Australia, Malaysia, Taiwan and Canada.
Due to its use of Singlish, a pidgin English spoken in Singapore, the show came under pressure by the Singaporean government to use only "proper" English. This was mainly because of the worry that the younger school going viewers would start speaking Singlish more and bring down the standard of spoken English in Singapore. Another popular show that also received similar pressure was Phua Chu Kang Pte Ltd where the lead character was criticised for speaking Singlish. Under One Roof was brought back shortly during Channel 5's 40th anniversary, only to run for a short period.
