“Um, I heard the first episode sucked. Was the second episode much better?”

I didn’t see the first one but saw the second show for a painful 10 minutes. I found it unfunny. It had a real loud annoying phony laugh track which I resented. I resented it because the laugh track was telling me that I was too stupid to know that I should be laughing.

By the way…This is what made M.A.S.H. great. It had no laugh track, and it was funny. And yes, there were also tragic moments in the episodes.

I'm not sure where you get the idea about the laugh track. They may run one for the Rush/Ann skit. However, the main segment of the show is taped before a live audience, as can be seen by watching it. That being true, I suspect the laughs on the Rush/Ann skit may come from the actual audience, which may be watching a tape of the skit. If there are any Fox News people reading this thread who know haw the pilots were produced, it would be nice for them to post a reply and settle the issue.

That was a live studio audience. It sounded "loud and annoying" because it was a live studio audience and not a homogenized phony laugh track.

At any rate I am pleased to see that Fox has picked this up. Ridicule of the left in a humor format is just the medicine this nation needs. Leftists despise laughed at. Watch the rage.

10 minutes, out of an hour of programming? Then you didn't see the LIVE AUDIENCE, both times.
