There was a time when the average sitcom was filmed with a live studio audience and the laughter you hear is actually coming from real people watching the taping.

    When I lived in Los Angeles I used to go to some of those shows. It was pretty fun. One of my favorite shows from back then was All in The Family. Of course I didn't get to see that one live cuz I don't think they even filmed that in California. That would have been awesome though.

    The reason why they no longer do live studio is a TV star got followed home by someone in the audience and they tried/planned to hurt her. After that they used laugh tracks, and other shows followed suite when they realized that audiences didn't really care. Made it easier to film
