      Community, IT Crowd, Arrested Development, 30 Rock, Scrubs… The 00’s had a lot of great sitcoms. We didn’t know how good we had it.

            Laugh tracks usually have nothing to do with how funny a show’s writing actually is, but studies regularly show that people have a more positive experience with TV comedies when they have a laugh track. I assume it’s probably something parasocial.
