Too many “what got cancelled too soon” questions, what’s a show that went on too long?

Hard mode: no The Walking Dead

    Laugh tracks are an immediate turn off - literally. I remember being curious about a show, and then switching it off after about 30 seconds when the canned laughter kicked in. It told me immediately that the humor would be broad instead of clever.

    This doesn’t apply to older shows, though. All in the Family is still one of the best sitcoms ever, laugh track or not.

    Edit: I forgot - they never used a laugh track. That was a live studio audience. Sorry!

        Wow, you’re right. I’m surprised I forgot that distinction. They even say “All in the Family was taped before a live studio audience” at the beginning of every episode. Whoops!

      Big Bang Theory also used a live audience instead of a laugh track
