Cheers _(although they sometimes shot one version of a scene in front of the studio audience and then replaced it with a different one – like when they wanted to keep Shelley Long’s departure at the end of season five a secret, they filmed a wedding scene in which Sam and Diane got married for the benefit of the viewers in the studio, and then swapped it out for the version that was eventually aired)_ _ **-“BB”-** _ ---

> [@Bayaker](#): > > All in the Family Some may find this interesting (from wiki): > [@](#): > > For the show’s final season, the practice of being taped before a live audience changed to playing the already taped and edited show to an audience and recording their laughter to add to the original sound track … (typically, the audience was gathered for a taping of _[One Day at a Time](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Day_at_a_Time_(1975_TV_series))_ , and got to see _All In the Family_ as a bonus.) If I recall correctly, this was because Carrol O’Connor hated working in front of an audience. I had been under the (apparently incorrect) impression that they ditched the audience much earlier in the show’s run.
