That stupid laugh track. Too often and too loud.
I wish the show success, but I'm not tuning back in.
Thank You!! I hate when shows use laugh tracks to sell bad jokes. How about you write them and then let me decide when to laugh.
shareThat was annoying. Laugh tracks in general are lame in their intention to tell audience when to laugh, or in this case, oversell an intended joke.
Shows like Curb Your Enthusiasm and Peep Show don't need laugh tracks because it respects the target audience. Maybe that is the issue with shows like this, it wants to pull in the most viewers so it panders to the lowest common denominator, like how the main guy and his friends all love beer and are not too bright, but the wife usually always is.
Like it or not, CBS uses the laugh track for almost all of it's comedies. Just be sure not to single this show out for using it too. Apparently, CBS has found an audience that likes this format still.

Same with The Office and Parks and Rec.
shareAmen. So unrealistic. How many times does the average viewer at home laugh out loud? Not that much I bet and not every single joke.
I'm out... I can't imagine it getting better. If the pilot is as bad as this... yikes... This season of shows look awful as a whole. Tons of new crappy shows are coming out that replaced shows that I watched. Total fail on so many levels.

I also HATE laugh tracks (canned laughter) and don't understand why they still use them. In this show, they showed anyone who attempted to watch it, why you shouldn't use canned laughter. It absolutely sucked.
shareAgreed. Sometimes the laugh track was so loud I couldn't hear the next joke. Laugh tracks shouldn't be noticeable and this was the first thing I noticed about this show.
shareThat, and they seem to be trying too hard to be funny.
shareYeah, me too. I just can't get into it. No woman can replace "Carrie" or have that spark with Kevin James that she had. I kept expecting her to walk in the room.
