I was watching some and it was all just cringe and laugh tracks.

    The presence of a laugh track is irrelevant. The necessity of one for people to find the show funny is a different matter.

      Agreed - but with the caveat that examples where there was one, but it was later removed, don’t really count, because the way it’s done screws up the timing.

      To judge them fairly you’d have to somehow see what the same show was like if intentionally made without laughter from the start. Some might pass, others wouldn’t.
