In the audience, there is an audience member that laughs really loosely. They really let go. I've heard this in two consecutive episodes. It sounds like a high pitched, loud, loose laughter. My sister said, "Whoa!" when she heard this laughter..........

TVLAND aired these episodes a few days ago.

I don't know if the show was filmed before a live audience or used a laugh track. I once read an interesting article about laugh tracks. It's amazing how some of the same laugh tracks used for I Love Lucy were used for shows in the 80s. It is or used to be an industry.

Even shows with live audiences often add laugh tracks in the editing room to make the laughter consistent.

I'm going to try to find that article. It's very interesting.

You are right about that, I have heard the same woman on GT saying "Right On" on a few episodes.

In the article I read, I remember something about a female audience member on I Love Lucy saying something like, "Uh oh" when Lucy's up to no good.

The exact same track showed up decades later on other shows.

It doesn't sound like a laugh track on GT because it always sounds different and like you guys were saying, people do yell things out.
