Laugh track ....


This would be a much better show if they'd simply lose the canned, generic, out-of-touch laugh track. I'd enjoy this much better without it ....

They still use laugh tracks? Strange.

I never liked laugh tracks. I always found them personally insulting. The truth, as I have learned, is that it's effective. Not everyone gets every joke, or even gets that a joke IS a joke. The laugh track is a way of letting those people know someone is not serious, or that they are not to be taken seriously, either because of their character, or because they are a bigoted idiot, like some commenters in this board (present company excluded, of course).

It is a fact of life that not everyone is gifted with wit or intelligence. It is not insulting to say so, and should not be taken so.

Love is like breathing. You have to take some in and let it out to live.

There are a ton of show with them what are you talking about ?

I agree with the OP. Laugh tracks are outdated, distracting, and add no value.

What if I were to tell you that the laughter isn't canned and the show was shot in front of a live studio audience?

reply

I believe it. Because in the one episode featuring Mackenzie Phillips, the audience was hooting and hollering when she first appeared.

I agree. I cringe when I hear it.

What's worse is they laugh-track is used for the most un-funny jokes and lines.
