While I appreciate the recommendation and understand why you recommended it after just now watching it on netflix, I honestly can't get over this laugh track. How do people watch shows with laughs in the background like this? I find it not only extremely distracting but also a bit insulting to have the show give me a cue of when I should find things funny.
the sensation of being around people makes it easier to laugh. This is very noticeable for me, since I have room-mates. Occasionally I'll watch the new daily show myself and think it's ok, and then my room-mate will be watching it and I'll happen to be watching it with him and laugh out loud a lot more. Laughter is inherently a social signal. A laugh track can help trigger this impulse
This is the monthly thread for posting media of various types that you've found that you enjoy. I find that exposure to LW ideas makes me less likely to enjoy some entertainment media that is otherwise quite popular, and finding media recommended by LWers is a good way to mitigate this. Post what you're reading, listening to, watching, and your opinion of it. Post recommendations to blogs. Post whatever media you feel like discussing!
