People who often speak with Japanese-speakers understand what you mean by "Drama."

If someone is unfamiliar with Japanese, calling "Friends" a drama will seem quite strange.

It is, in fact, an American "situation comedy" or sit-com.

 

Rule of thumb: sit-coms are 23-30 minutes long, and usually have recorded laughter in the background

Dramas are 45minutes- 1 hour long, and are on more serious topics.

The biggest exceptions would be shows like "X-Files" "Star Trek" "Doctor Who" or "Battlestar Galactica", which would be "Science Fiction programs" (or Sci-Fi Dramas).
