    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.

      Not really. When the laughs are removed you just realize it’s racism, sexism, and juvenile jokes all in one.
