Quote:Loved this. A brother-in-law asked of a popular sitcom I had been enjoying maybe 10 years ago, Prolly Modern Family, "Doesn't the laugh-track bother you???"

My wife doesn't really watch the show, but i made her start this season with me. She pointed out how cheesy some of the dialogue is, which i never noticed, but now i can't not notice.
It does now.

Must be another one cause that one doesn't have a laugh track.
(I am silently praying it wasn't Two and a Half Men.)

Pray out loud.
It wasn't Two and a Half men.
Maybe it was Big Bang Theory
(Modern Family might have had a laugh track once, or perhaps I was confusing his critique with other's criticism Modern Family's inexplicable 4th wall shit?)
No matter. My Willing-suspension-of-disbelief-- and its fragility-- point stands.
Speaking of laugh tracks, anyone else wish we could watch NFL Football (or what was baseball) this year without piped in crowd noise? Sometimes I hear replays with less "sound" and it is like "Mic'd Up!" all game long. You can hear everything (that matters). (In baseball, no live crowd noise led to some on-field chippiness) Sonically, it is like being at a scrimmage, or some other insider event. I think pro sports is missing some opportunities.
