That shit only works for really old sitcoms. It always stands out now that the age of the sitcom is dying.

[(Anonymous)]

It still works when it's well executed.

The problem is that, one, it's not usually that well executed, because most of the good people making sitcoms these days are largely working in a post-Arrested Development mode (or other stuff, like Curb or whatever) and so are trying to make multi-cam shows. Two, a ton of the comedy audience has been conditioned by the fact that, like, King of Queens or whatever other shows in the early 2000s used laugh tracks really badly so they just associate it with bad comedy in a way that is frankly really stupid.

God damn King of Queens really fucked things up for everyone. Fuck that show, fuck Kevin James' stupid ass. It's the archetypal example for Shitty Laugh-Track Shows AND the archetypal example for the Stupid Fat Husband With Hot Wife narrative. That goddamn show had an actively perverse influence on television.

SA

Freaks and Geeks is the other influential show I meant to mention, sorry

Also I said multi-cam when I meant single-cam

The reason studio audiences are less common now is also because of The Nanny. After Fran Dresher was raped, she became terrified of having studio audiences around, so the show instituted a laugh track instead.

Re: OP

Fran Drescher was raped years before the Nanny came on.

I guess that's why Big Bang Theory was such an unsuccessful show.

wait.

apparently laugh track shows still work for most people.
