u.s. tv has done away w/ live studio audiences...i miss those days...

us brits dont need canned laughter because we have a good sense of humour and know when to laugh ourselves lol

I would agree with you. Apparently, even if the show isn't funny, they think hearing someone else laugh will make us think it is. I just won't watch shows with canned laughter.

Because the majority of US viewers don't have a sense of humor- like the Brits do.
