I have always wondered, where do the actors go when they leave the acting scene in front of a live audience-has anyone or know anyone that has seen a live episode at the studio-

Hmm, I dont know, but Family Matters wasnt a live audience show, was it?

No, it was live audience! There's a rumor that frat boys in the audience of Steve's first ep. were chanting "Urkel"!

Ive read that. But was it live audience??? Not always, then, cause like when they are in Disneyland, its impossible

they usually stand outside the "set", waiting for their cue......in All in the Family, there was a platform at the top of the stairs where Carol O'Conno would stand when he was supposed to be in the bathroom or where anyone stood who was supposed to be in the bedrooms upstairs (Which were really on a ground stage like the main livingroom "set").

I went to a taping once and they usually run off into make up or change clothes or step outside for a smoke.

So it was live audience or not? I dont really get it.

Yes...just because an episode here and there was filmed off set doesn't mean they all were.

I guess...

FM was shot in front of a live audience. And as Brian and Mikey above stated, that is what the actors do, they go aside to make-up or just step out of view and have a break.

OK! Yeah, cause first I didnt know there was live audience. And I have heard people cough, so I wondered "Why do they add coughs in the laughs". Now I know. What about when they were outside. Like when they droove by car and stuff like that.

I am assuming those episodes were not the live episodes-:crazy:

Of course not. Any scenes shot outdoors were not shot with an audience. That is when a laugh track comes in.

That was what I thought. And when theyre in school (??)
But im sure they didnt have an audience when Steve was going to learn how to swim.

I guess they switched between live audience and pre-taping.

Yeah, they must havce done that.

They go up stairs that lead to the back of the set or walk into another room as indicated within the script. From there they go wherever (makeup, get ready for the next scene, etc). On the first season of Hanging with Mr. Cooper, Mark showed the TV audience using the camera the house and it exposed all of this. He was said, damn wheres the rest of the house? The audience was going wild. As you may recall, the first episode was filmed using Growing Pains old set.
