Laugh Track Usage
Why on god's green earth did they play the laugh track when Richie was screaming in the mirror in "Welcome Home" pt.2?
It struck me was as being a pretty poor choice. |

To add to previous posts, laugh tracks are the dirty little secret that everyone knows about. When a laugh track is used solely it is called "canned," but if a laugh track is used in tandem w/ a studio audience then it's referred to as "sweetened."

I agree as well, Richie yelling angrilly at himself was a joke.
