    Well, it's unfortunate that (years and years ago) producers discovered that shows just weren't 'funny enough' to the audience when they didn't know when to laugh (...ie, when a joke is over). Unfortunately for this show, some of them just don't seem to be set at a point when someone would really laugh at a joke.

    Plus some of the funniest parts of 'live audience' laughter is when the actors need to sit there doing whatever they were doing/improvising until the audience let's them continue (...happened occasionally in Full House, and it just brings back the little picture bubble of Bob Saget grinning stupidly looking at another character waiting for his chance to say his next line).

    Other than the fake laughter it's pretty good. It's got a lot of predictability at parts though, and the character spread is a bit short (...but then again, I've only seen the first episode, but 4 repeating characters is shoddy for such a sitcom.

    Lol Abra.
    Sometimes those laughters are very useful because it's so difficult to find the "funny jokes"... Then we can easily know when we have to laugh without being ridiculous <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    people are more likely to laugh when presented with other people laughing. laugh tracks make it funnier for the mindless masses™

    Closed it about 5 seconds in when I heard the first fake laughter. Maybe I'll check it out later, but I can't think of one show I've ever enjoyed that used recorded laughing.

    This show is rubbish. It's pretty much the same formula as other crap British comedies like "The Smoking Room" etc. Comparing it to 'The Office' is just wrong. It's more like the comedy show the BBC force Andy to make in Extras. ( When the Whistle Blows )

    Wait... if they film it in front of an audience, why do they need to add fake laughter?
  • AbraAbra Would you kindly Join Date: 2003-08-17 Member: 19870Members
    Just watched it again.

    It's not funny. The characters are way boring.

    How many episodes exist?
  • GeminosityGeminosity :3 Join Date: 2003-09-08 Member: 20667Members
    Surprisingly few actually. I can't remember off the top of my head but it's definitely either 6 or 8 episodes in total :o
  • MoquiaoMoquiao Join Date: 2003-05-09 Member: 16168Members
    its 6 that i know of.

    it was really enjoyable i thought, abit of a pisstake, quite a laugh about nerds, but, aimed at nerds, if that makes sense? like when there is a fire, and moss cant use the phone, so he emails the fire station..

    its silly, dont look for deep, meaningful humour

    I enjoyed it. You can find all the episodes on YouTube if you hunt around a little.
