HOLLYWOOD – With his Netflix comedy film Unfrosted debuting to abysmal reviews, 70-year-old comedian Jerry Seinfeld blames the failure on “extreme left, and PC college campus audiences”, unlike in his heyday, when the teenage girls he dated were fans of his comedy.

I try not to think of TBBT, but just about any show with a laugh track isn't actually funny.

Did you know the British airing of MASH didn't have a laugh track cause the brits find it weird and it was forced on the writers by the executives. A laugh track was almost forced on The Simpsons as well.

Interesting, as IT Crowd is one of the very few British comedies I have ever seen, and it has a laugh track.

Different eras of tv I guess.

IT Crowd had a live audience. The laughter is real.

A laugh track on The Simpson would help me know when to laugh too.
