So I guess laugh tracks are expired. Also, Shaggy "threw his voice," making it sound like it was coming from another room. We used to believe in this, and quicksand.

"people yelling in the background" is such an interesting way to hear a laugh track described.

I stuggled to get my son to watch any older cartoons as well. The only one he liked was Tom and Jerry

One of my absolutely favorite things is a copy of MASH someone released that had the laugh track left out.

The show is so much better for it. I wish this was more of a thing.

This sounds amazing

I have the Martinis and Medicine collection and you have the option to completely turn off the laugh track.

Now, no laugh track for the show except for the ER would be a fun thing to see

Aren't the gaps in dialogue way too long though? Or did MASH do okay with that

He's enjoying it and laughing, but strangely he laughs at things the laugh track isn't emphasizing

Depending on age that’s normal, basically whenever they see something they have never seen their brain has to decide if thats just a normal weird thing, or an impossible funny thing.

Old cartoons are full of both. Imagine a phone, but it has a string like cable attached to it. Hillarious!

To be fair, the older a cartoon is the more it was written for adults.
