It's weird, 99% of the shows with laugh tracks I absolutely hate. But then, some of my favs also have it. I think the older shows used it to enhance the humour, whereas now people use it to
simulate humour. (Which it does, people are more likely to laugh if others are.... I could go into more detail, but basically people like feeling like part of a group.)
Black Adder, MASH (though reading about the history of the laugh track in this show is interesting), Fawlty Towers, etc....
What are peoples opinions on a live laughter (not including stand up comedians, sketch shows, etc)
