I agree. There is something comforting and reassuring about watching an old sitcom and hearing people who have died decades ago laughing in the background.

If you watch enough sitcoms, you can hear a laugh track where a lady says 'Uh Oh!!' (For example, the episode of 'Gilligan's Island' where Mary Ann thinks she ate the poisonous mushrooms.) That track is taken from " I Love Lucy', and the lady's voice is Lucille Ball's mother Dee Dee, who was usually in the studio audience when the show was taping.
