"Beaver and Violet" canned laughter

[vitoscotti]

S3 E32 "Beaver and Violet". Seems like the canned laughter was extra loud, obnoxiously out of control. The slightest little funny, and the canned laughter goes wild. I honestly never even paid attention to it, until this episode. A new person handling it? Hope this doesn't continue. And, by the way a wonderful episode even though. The Rutherfords are all great.

btw - I despise the laugh tracks - I most often have the volume on so low I can barely hear the tv and read the closed captions ALL THE TIME

the Paul Henning tv shows laugh tracks are ALL the SAME - Petty Junction, Hillbillies, Green Acres --- you can hear the SAME exact recorded voices laughing - HATE IT so much

For this, you'd probably like Ozzie and Harriet, and possibly Burns and Allen--with O&H and possibly B&A, they bothered to play the episodes to an audience, and used the responses. With O&H it's a noticeable difference.

Three-camera shows with an audience aren't much better with regard to laughter--they have the live responses, but they "sweeten" them with the fake stuff.

The later single cam shows like "The Middle" don't use the laugh machine at all.
