did say the scripts for season 2 where not the best..and that the laugh track even booed...but then he admitted that writing shows week after week can be grueling. He did write the script for one show for season 3. I think all comedy shows have laugh tracks. I notice them all the time. I don't think Freddie was knocking the show, it's just that he was a perfectionist and wanted every show to be top notch...and I think Jack Albertson was very funny and they made a perfect team. If you watch all 3 seasons, you can see their relationship develop. Of course not every show or every actor is going to please the entire veiwing audience. But for me, the more I watch CATM, the funnier the shows are.
I think it proved that Freddie was critical of his own work and he wanted to be the best at his craft.
