Re: Where\'s Curb your Enthusiasm? (no text)

I never said Simpsons wasn't. Just Curb. I may be wrong on that, but to me, I don't think of it as fitting into the model of what a situational comedy is. The lack of live audience or laugh track is just a small part of that. I'm looking some stuff up to see if I can find any support, but I may just be wrong.

Someone else said that Simpsons wasn't. I guess I don't know the official definition of sitcoms. As far as laugh tracks, I think most/all shows would be better without them. I think of Sports Night. Loved the show. Then it got cancelled and later on Comedy Central picked it up and aired the reruns, but added in a laugh track. It was unwatchable. I don't need to be told when to laugh.
