This is the reason I like The Big Bang Theory, all recorded on a live set in front of an audience, they will shoot variations of the same scene and usually use the one with the most reaction from the audience will get chosen. That's how sitcoms should be made.Talk about beating a dead horse. I honestly think Real world the first season was ground breaking television. And pretty much all 'reality tv' has gone downhill from there. There are some good concepts for them, but it's not real. I think it would be kinda cool to actually see what some of these shows are based on... but it's just scripted bs.
I also have serious thoughts on laugh tracks. I honestly feel that the laugh track being popularized was the beginning of the end for the thinking (or nonthinking) masses.
a couple years ago we lost cable due to non-payment, we were broke mo-fo's....decided to just use netflix and other streaming content, the first few weeks were like getting yanked off the nipple, and there are still times, not often, when I'd like to have the networks but all in all i feel liberated from the opiate....(we live in the mountains and no antenna made by humans could pick up a broadcast)This is the reason I like The Big Bang Theory, all recorded on a live set in front of an audience, they will shoot variations of the same scene and usually use the one with the most reaction from the audience will get chosen.

As for reality shows, the first couple of years of big brother uk were good, but from then on it went downhill, I really hate reality tv because of it being a FALSE reality and motivated by the dollar/pound signs in their eyes!
Took nearly FOREVER to convert and edit it all together (Windows Movie Maker has severe limitations), but finally have a vid of the hike from Saturday:
