  There are some clips with the laugh track removed, and they really illustrate how not funny that show is. It’s just a long slew of broken conversations with awkward pauses.

  I have the same opinion of any show that relies on a laugh track - if you have to trick my brain into laughing because ‘everyone else is doing it’, then your shit isn’t funny.

    I actually chuckled at quite a few of those jokes

    Fully agree, no laugh track is a positive selling point for me. Happy Endings is a similar show set in Chicago and since they don’t rely on canned laughs the jokes and characters are actually written rather well, shame it didn’t get as much attention for more seasons
