When me and the misses weren't married yet, sometimes we'd spend the evening at her parents' house, and watch TV together, generally Disney Channel. This was around 2002-2003. I kind of dug the shows that were on, so it didn't bother me. Even Stevens was good, Boy Meets World was awesome, So Weird was alright, Jett Jackson was even good enough not to turn the channel.
But has anyone seen it now? That's So Raven, Suite Life of Zack & Cody, Life with Derek, Hannah Montana? Every single one suck. And you know the main thing that pisses me off about them. The overboard laughing audience.
Now there are some shows that have worked GREAT with laughter. Seinfeld. Everybody Loves Raymond. Married with Children.
But these fucking shows have a laugh every 10 seconds. At the longest. Go ahead and turn one of these shows on if you don't believe me. For me to laugh out loud at something on a TV show, it's got to be pretty goddamn funny or clever. The laugh track on these shows are not believable at all. Those motherfuckers laught at EVERYTHING. Here's how these shows work:
Person 1: Are you ready for the big dance?
Person 2: What dance?
Person 1: The one Friday! Remember?
Person 2: Oh yeah. I forgot
*Audience laughs*
WHAT THE FUCK. It's like NBC for kids.
*edit* Reworded laugh track to laughter, since my main point that there is laughter, not what causes it
