    Watching the new “Roseanne,” it’s hard not to notice the laugh track. How many current shows still have that?

        We've tried watching sitcoms recently, but the laugh track is off-putting. I think we're just not used to it after several years away from the genre.

        I've been watching Marvelous Mrs. Maizel and I provide my own laugh track. Some of the smartest TV scripts since the earlier seasons of Frazier.

        Is it a laugh track? I believe it is taped in front of a live studio audience.

        Even when they tape in front of an audience they still often "enhance" with a laugh track

        It's the only thing I dislike about "Big Bang Theory." So, laugh track is still a thing, I'm afraid. (And, yeah, I know: that has a live studio audience too. But the volume is turned way too high.)

        I think laugh tracks, either canned or from a live audience, are a legacy type thing. Fewer shows use them and I suspect they may disappear in the future...

        Leaving aside whether laffs are live or canned, best I can tell, only current network shows using multicam format with audible laughter are: Big Bang Theory, Mom, Kevin Can Wait, 9JKL, Man with a Plan, Marlon, Superior Donuts, Will & Grace and Roseanne.

        There's also Fuller House and One Day at a Time on Netflix. So, of 10 current shows, 40% are explicitly retro reboots.

        Guess I was just laughing so hard I hadn't noticed. Loved the @RoseanneOnABC premiere!

        I know it's been 20 years but Seinfeld had to go to a laugh track because the live audience became disruptive to the flow of the show. E.g., cheering when Kramer entered the apartment.

        Most good ones like Modern Family and Goldbergs do mockumentary style. No audience No laugh track
