Re: Laugh tracks, how do you feel about them?

[partialsatyr]

canned laughter is a huge turn off for me. it says to me that the show's writing is so weak that the audience has to be told "we said something funny just now"

trying to think of a show i actually enjoy with a laugh track and i'm coming up blank

Re: Laugh tracks, how do you feel about them?

Actually, the reason is that the studio execs think viewers are so dumb that they won't know when to laugh at any show ever, no matter what the writing is like. Until a few years ago (and still a lot of the time nowadays), the only way a sitcom could weasel out of a laugh track was if the writers somehow managed to convince the producers that the format of the show just couldn't work with a laugh track (e.g., Scrubs).

What about Red Dwarf? I remember reading some kind of interview or something where the actors said that they like having the studio audience there, because they got feedback and could either extend a joke to make it funnier or move on if it wasn't working.

I can see the value of laugh tracks there, less in that they have actual value for the show and more that they have value and are recorded at the same time.

ETA: Whoops, should have read further down before posting. Ah well.
