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

[(Anonymous)]

Most of the shows I find genuinely funny have absolutely no laughter, canned or otherwise. (Pushing Daisies, Community, My Name is Earl--those are the ones that come to mind.)

That's a single-cam versus multi-cam thing, I think - most of the interesting, original comedies over the past 15 years or so have been shot with a single camera, and single camera shows are much less likely to have laugh tracks (because they can't use a studio audience). But that's just Hollywood fashions - it has nothing to do with anything intrinsic to the form, I don't think.

Honestly, the more I watch multi-camera comedies and animated comedies (Japanese or western), the more hearing laughter that sounds even the slightest ungenuine makes me find the show LESS funny.

But then your objection - and it's a perfectly reasonable one - is to poorly executed laughter in shows. And I totally agree - it's offputting and sounds false and annoying. But that's not a problem with laughter in shows itself (and it's also not a studio audience vs canned laughter thing - you can have really, really shitty laughter coming from a live audience).
