Laugh tracks were extensively used long before the Fran Drescher thing though?
Nearly every show I watched from the 60’s to the early 80’s used them. It was noticeable when there wasn’t a laugh track.
It’s true. Laugh tracks were used since the 50s to sweeten the audience sound, but sets didn’t close and become exclusively hired laughers and laugh tracks until that incident.
