Pretty good example of this last night. In the 8-9 slot last night on CBS you were able to compare and contrast the 2 styles.

Neighborhood 8-8:30 Monday night on CBS has a laugh track. Even though I like the stars of the show (Cedric the Entertainer...) .. having a laugh track is a deal breaker for me. Just feels like it cheapens it.

DMV 8:30-9pm was very good but I would have never tried watching DMV if it had a laugh track.

CBS does the same thing on Thursday..

George and Mandy has a laugh track in the 8-8:30 slot.

Ghosts at 8:30 does not .. so I don't bother turning on CBS until 8:30 on either of those nights.
