In 2015 why do shows still get laugh tracks, sad... I won't watch shows that have laugh tracks, I guess the jokes must be that bad if they need to remind viewers when to laugh ๐Ÿ‘Ž

Seems like a cross between Hangin with Mr. Cooper and The Steve Harvey Show. But anything with Meagan Good in it and I'm there!
