History of the laugh track

Tihis is why you hear “All in the Family was filmed before a live audience.”

When I saw the thread I immediately thought of the above announcement-made by Rob Reiner himself, when yes the AitF team was striving to move beyond mere laugh tracks.

I then casually peruse some other threads, and see this one:

Two people found dead at Rob Reiner's home. (Sadly confirmed it was Rob and his wife, kill by their son)

Developing story as of 6:45pm California time, but right now it doesn’t sound good. The Wikipedia editors are fighting back and forth between listing him as dead or alive.
