-"Criminal Minds".

-Sitcoms that have laugh tracks (I tend to roll my eyes a little at people who are all, "I don't need to be told when to laugh" in regards to those. Yes, because they're clearly holding a gun to your head and making you laugh when they do.)

-Top 40 pop music.

Think those are the big ones.

I actually really like laugh tracks when you can tell it's a real audience and you can make out some individual people who are really really enjoying themselves.

Exactly! That's how I feel, too. And then some shows, like "Frasier", that kind of have a "play" feel to their setup and performances, it can almost feel like the audience's reaction at a theater performance.

I won't argue that canned laughter can be annoying, sure, as can hearing particularly obnoxious laughs, but so long as the show's good, I'm not bugged about laugh tracks or other things of that sort.

Yes!

I'm not overly bothered by laugh-tracks but I can see where people are coming from when they say it bugs them(and I can agree that fake canned laughter can be off-putting sometimes), but one thing I love is when you can hear that the audience is genuinely laughing at the jokes or funny scenarios, it helps add to the comedy for me.

I agree so hard on the laugh tracks thing but oh my god you try to talk to people about it and it's like dogma, there's just not even the possibility of acknowledging it. it's like everyone decided overnight that they're objectively bad & they're really not.

I know! It wasn't until I started hanging out on the internet that I realized that there were people who were THAT bothered by laugh tracks. Same with the debate over single-cam or multi-cam comedies. I could see people who want to get into that particular style of filming caring about that when they watch TV, but otherwise, I wasn't aware that was a thing viewers in general even paid attention to.

To each their own, if that's how someone really feels, that's their decision, I guess, but it just seems ridiculous to me to dismiss an otherwise potentially good show, a show that could be very well-written and well-acted and all that good stuff, because of that small matter.

(And how do people who are bugged by laugh tracks deal with watching classic TV shows from the '50s through the '70s? "Dick Van Dyke" and "Mary Tyler Moore" and "Andy Griffith" and "Bob Newhart" and other shows of that sort had them, too, yet it didn't stop them being good shows, did it?)

I think Frasier and Mary Tyler Moore had live audiences, not laugh tracks.

When I first saw Criminal Minds, I thought the acting was total shit. But three or four years on, I watch reruns every other night. I've come to love the show. I think I've become immune to the acting. Except Rossi. His acting is still shit.

And I too enjoy top 40. Everyone can sing along!
