The Flintstones had a laugh track


Good call. Completely forgot about that.

But I still think my previous point needs to be considered. The laugh tracks are almost exclusively used on sitcoms with the same "theater" type settings (all of the settings are viewed from the same angle every time). Would it seem strange with the laugh tracks removed on these shows?

The MASH DVDs give you the choice to turn off the laugh track.

I tried watching an episode (one of the early season classics) that way but I found it too jarring. The show was edited to leave space for laughter, so it upsets the timing for the laughter not to be there.
