Married... with Children

Bud is the only one who didn't go off into something else. Even Marcy went into LGBT support work or whatever. Bud probably just hangs out in his basement doing curls and fantasizing about hot bitches all day.

btw, seriously how bored are you right now?

Why do I think that he was banging some super hot chick? Like, someone WAY out of his league. Maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

Watching clips like that I can be amused, but I never could watch the show due to laugh tracks. Laugh tracks are like nails on a chalkboard to me. I have missed out on alot of supposedly good shows because of that.

With all these old show thread, maybe I should start a Night Court thread...

Same here -- I don't watch Big Bang Theory because of my hatred of laugh tracks.

So you're saying laugh tracks have done one good thing?

Old episodes of MASH with the laugh track are so surreal. They are mid surgery after a horrific enemy attack and cue the laugh track!

You didn't watch it back in the 80's/90's because of the laugh track or you weren't able to watch it more recently upon a recommendation?

I haven't been able to watch any shows with laugh tracks since I was a little kid. My father hated them and would "HAHA" in a huge fake laugh everytime a laugh track would go off. It conditioned me to notice them and takes me completely out of the show.

i loved the show, but it would had been epic if not for all the protests in the beginning.

Whats all this laugh track talk? On one of the Married... with Children DVD's they have the 20 year reunion where they talk about the show and they show the stage and footage from when they were still running the show in front of a live audience, so all those laughs and hoops and hollers were the real deal, cause this show was fucking awesome.

I tried to watch Lucky Louie on HBO last night after not having seen it since it originally aired. Holy fuck the audience laughter is HORRIBLE in that show.

you do realize that live audiences are coached to laugh on cue? seriously why do you think there are LAUGHTER and APPLAUSE signs? i watched this show at the time it was on and i thought the first season was edgy and funny but the second season was boring. i only watched the second season because christina applegate and katey segal gave me wood. the laugh track makes it unwatchable in this day and age. my dad hates top gear because he thinks they use it on their studio audience as well. he may be right. but those guys are so funny i ignore it.
