> Getting to be even more annoying is the “Kiss Track” - whenever two people kiss on a sitcom, there is the inevitable “Wooooo” from the soundtrack. It’s like the “audience” has never seen two people kiss before and has to make special note of it when it happens.

On _Good Times_, whenever the younger son would go on about some injustice, the producers would turn on the “Right On” track. I found that part funnier than the show.

I’m not sure if it was the first, but Full House was the one that really pushed forward with the “Awwww” track.
