re: Anyone watching The Ranch?

I am pretty easy-going

I mean I didn't quit watching it right away. I felt the show got better and it did become a little more tolerable after the first episode. I still wish there was an option to mute it out.

It's not about being cool or edgy.. It's just a personally preference. It's a bit overkill in this show, IMO.. Some of my favorite sitcoms have laugh tracks and I still love the shows, Married With Children and Seinfield.. but they aren't quite as obvious or they are at more funny moments.. It really stands out in this show. It could be the way the audio is all set-up. I noticed recently when listening in Seinfield the laugh track seems a bit dialed down.

Many comedy sitcoms do just great without them. Many of the new ABC/Fox shows don't use them and I am very appreciative of that.

Sometimes I hear the constant laugh track and it's harder to not notice it to the point of it becomes less enjoyable.. other times I don't notice them.. I would just prefer in today's time we have at least an alternative option or no laugh track at all. It's not just a few people trying to be edgy though.. I have researched the topic before and an overwhelming majority prefers no laugh track.

Sorry my opinion/preference bothered you. Wasn't trying to "bitch" I will probably pick back up watching The Ranch some time soon.
