Viewers find the laugh track on this episode distracting and overly loud, with laughter at unfunny moments making the show feel like a cheap sitcom rather than quality comedy.

Is it just me, or:

Was anyone else annoyed by the laugh track on the 11/21 episode? Many times it was so distracting - hearing laughter at not-so-funny moments. You could barely keep your attention on what they were saying, the canned laughter was turned up so loud. (If it is canned laughter. If not, the "LAUGH" sign for the studio audience was turned on too much.)

Well, this post has finally forced me to de-lurk!

I've been waiting for 4 weeks for someone to mention this laugh track! I've noticed it since the first episode this season! I agree, it is very annoying.

I know some people on this newsgroup have been to tapings of the show-- do they use a "Laugh" sign?

Opinions, everyone?

I agree. I've been noticing this since the second or third show this year. Way to much laughter at unfunny moments, it just doesn't sound natural, and gives more the feel of a cheap sitcom.
