So I guess laugh tracks are expired. Also, Shaggy "threw his voice," making it sound like it was coming from another room. We used to believe in this, and quicksand.

"people yelling in the background" is such an interesting way to hear a laugh track described.
I stuggled to get my son to watch any older cartoons as well. The only one he liked was Tom and Jerry

One of my absolutely favorite things is a copy of MASH someone released that had the laugh track left out.
The show is so much better for it. I wish this was more of a thing.

He's enjoying it and laughing, but strangely he laughs at things the laugh track isn't emphasizing

Depending on age that’s normal, basically whenever they see something they have never seen their brain has to decide if thats just a normal weird thing, or an impossible funny thing.
Old cartoons are full of both. Imagine a phone, but it has a string like cable attached to it. Hillarious!

To be fair, the older a cartoon is the more it was written for adults.

Why were we so worried about quicksand?

I can't stand laugh tracks anymore. Which sucks because I loved that 70s show but can't watch it because it has a laugh track. Also home improvement and others that I'm forgetting.

Both examples were filmed in front of an actual live audience, tho. In those cases, it's not a laugh track; it's an actual audience behind the 4th wall.

Doesn't mean that's authentic. What is cue cards?

I hated laugh tracks back when they were still popular. Unless it's an ironic laugh track.
