I think most reasonable people can agree that putting a laugh track on a lousy sitcom doesn’t make it any funnier. But I’m sure the same people can also agree that there have been some sitcoms with laugh tracks that were consistantly funny.
So here’s the game. Which sitcoms with laugh tracks have made you laugh on a regular basis? The occasional chuckle doesn’t count, and if it doesn’t have a laugh track it doesn’t count either (so no Arrested Development or The Simpsons). My list includes, but is not limited to:
Married…with Children
Roseanne
The Cosby Show
Herman’s Head
Spin City

So what’s on your list?
