With its multi-camera, laugh-track format, Fox's new show Back to You is as traditional as comedy comes — and stars two of the comedy universe's greats in Patricia Heaton and Kelsey Grammar. But everyone at press tour wanted to know: Is this the old-school sitcom's last chance? ''I don't think any single show should be the savior of any particular form,'' Liguori said. ''We think Back to You is a funny show. Kevin and I are not going to shy away from multi-camera comedies.'' Executive producer Steven Levitan, who admitted that he's ''sick of people trashing the comedy,'' made it clear that there's no such thing as a ''canned laugh'' on Back to You. ''We shoot the show in front of the audience, and we don't add laughs where there were none,'' he said.
