This is the show where simply acknowledging a character owns/owned a NES was the entire punchline of a joke.

Yeah if you turn off the laugh track this show is terrible, for so many reasons.

Well BBT, and every other that has a laugh track, is scripted and edited around it. Removing that will make even the best comedy suck.

The show sucks but removing the canned laughter doesn’t prove anything.

The one exception to this is probably MASH. If I recall correctly they didn’t want the laugh track at all, and when it aired in Europe it didn’t have the laugh track and was better for it.

Oh damn, maybe I need to seek out the European versions of MASH episodes then.

I loved the movie, but then couldn’t get past the first couple episodes of the show because of the goddamn laugh track
