Well, romance also helps in continuity issues. Makes the plot more interesting and more stable, from a point of view. It's possible to have a specific plot in pure comedy but it's hard. And it is also hard for sitcoms to score high with just humorous scenes. For example, the two comedy shows that come to my mind (and most peoples mind I believe) are Friends and The Big Bang Theory. Both these shows have a very big audience, are nominated and awarded and in general, are highly succesful. In both these shows, romance is a stepping stone-especially in Friends but also The Big Bang Theory doesn't mock romance,it is serious about it.

That's just me, of course.
