    Married with children is another example. Would love to do a rewatch, but after a few episodes it’s a little too much.

    Even more, because the show aired around the time, where they started testing different kinds of audience laughter. Like putting the random guy that keeps on laughing, goes uh uh uh or is extra loud and whistles.

    Edit: to be fair, iirc most jokes Al Bundy makes DO work well with audience laughter, because he’s like telling the joke directly to the audience.

      Yeah, a lot of sitcoms were basically throwing one liners at each other to get an audience reaction.

      IT Crowd’s first few episodes that I watched would have worked a lot better without audience laughter in my opinion.
