Would not recommend. If you've seen shows like that with the laugh tracks removed, they're dreadful. Full of dead pauses while the characters wait between their lines for the laughs to end.

Fun fact: a half hour comedy script is 22 pages (22 minutes of content, after the ad breaks). But a half hour comedy script for a show with laugh tracks is 11 pages, 11 minutes. Literally half the show's runtime is taken up by laugh tracks.

There's a sad set of shows from before I got tired of laugh tracks. Sad because they are harder to enjoy now that I understand the laugh track is pretty much just there to dumb down the humour.

Though that could be an interesting remake formula: take some existing show then redo it but without a laugh track or live audience. I hated how live audience shows needed a pause after each main character's first appearance while the people present did the whole "scream because you see a new celebrity".
