Joe,
I detest laugh tracks.
I wonder what idiot thought this up.
A character will make some funny little remark and instead of a light chuckle, the "audience" roars with laughter.
I guess everyone's sense of humor is different.
When I was a kid there was some syndicated show and every so often
the same laughter and "Oh yeah!" was heard. I thought that member of
the audience was at every show. Only later did I learn the real
reason.
Which was??
There was a woman in NYC in the late '50 and early '60s who went to every show every day. She made the rounds, since they were all free.
Well, I can't blame her for being a frugal cheapskate.
She was always in Jack Paar's audience and one time he interviewed
her, named Mrs Miller, a plump, friendly, middle aged woman.
Interesting.
When he told her "A telephone", she increduously said "You have got
to be kidding me!!"...and with that, she left the room. <G>
And a real pain to carry around. :)
I'm sure.
I have a retired 1947 black Bakelite phone I used for years. It's
just sitting on a table as decoration. Someone asked why I had it and
I said "It's a conversation piece". :)
Really.
Daryl
