Laugh tracks. Is there anything lamer? Okay maybe there is but for the purposes of this, there isn't. If you are a television producer or better yet an actor or writer who is involved with a shitty show that utilizes a laugh track, do the world a favor and quit. If I were associated with a show that had anything to do with a laugh track, I might change my name and get plastic surgery. Seriously it's that lame. Laugh tracks are used on shows that aren't, well funny. Not even a little bit. If a show uses a laugh track, it means that it's not funny and they have to tell you where the "jokes" are. Maybe if the writers wrote better jokes/stories shows wouldn't have to use them. Plus, if you think about it, the people who are on those laugh tracks have easily been dead since the 1970s' and that's being generous. Why can't shows just do one of two things: 1) Get a studio audience, or 2) Be like Scrubs and actually be well written so that you can figure out the jokes on your own and when you are supposed to laugh.
