Non-cape tv show

Knight Rider was the robot girlfriend animu done right.

I used to love Knight Rider as a kid. I even met KITT at Universal Studios. I've heard people say the show sucked and didn't age well. But I've been watching it lately and I still think it's great. They just don't make TV like this anymore as far as I know.

That's why they think it didn't age well. Nobody does it like that anymore, therefore it must be outdated.

They don't make sitcoms like this anymore either.

Respectfully disagree - sitcoms can be shit but getting rid of laugh tracks is the best thing showrunners ever did.

How stunning and brave of them to get rid of a terrible idea several years later than it ought to have died.

[CuckTurdginson]

Yes - it should have been done earlier, but the ones without laugh tracks are generally better than the ones with them - at least as far as I'm concerned.

It's hard to enjoy a show I'd probably really like (MASH, for example) because the fucking canned laughter keeps taking me out of it.

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

It's amazing how much better your show can be if you don't have to include scenes where the actors just stand around for a couple seconds, waiting for the laugh track to be over.

[CuckTurdginson]

And shows can still suck without the laughtrack - but there are definitely standouts like Malcolm in the Middle, the UK Office (Gervais is a faggot but he definitely had a prime), and pre-Nigflix Arrested Development.

I grew up in the laugh track era so my brain just filters it out. I don't even hear it unless it's pointed out. A lot of these shows were filmed in front of live studio audiences, so the laughs you hear are real. But with M*A*S*H, they were canned. Originally the US got the laugh track version and foreign markets got a version without.

The 70s seems to be the peak of sitcoms for me. The 80s sitcoms were mostly terrible, with the exceptions of Night Court and ALF.

Whenever I see the modern Chuck Lorre shit it's like, "dick joke, fart joke, sex joke, pop culture reference" and repeat.

[CuckTurdginson]

Even Cheers? That's one that I'd probably like if the old way of making sitcoms didn't bug me.

I wanna find the versions without laugh tra.cks.

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

I wanna find a version of Linkara's movie with laugh tracks.

It should always play whenever Lupa or Marz are on screen.
