why do studio's still use laugh tracks? don't they know it ruins the comedy? inserting laughter from a tape is like saying "you should be laughing now because what just happened was funny" when not everyone is going to find the same things comical. it's like inserting audible screams in a horror movie every time the director thought people should be scared. it just wouldn't be scary and it would ruin the movie. and in the same vein, laugh tracks ruin comedy.
