So watch it with friends, Siro.
Laughtracks and audience laughter annoy me more than adds to the show, mostly because they always find things funny I think isn't funny. And to have people constantly laughing at bad jokes bothers me.
Its kind of like drugs... when I smoke them I laugh at lots of things I normally wouldn't. But I don't care, thats why I smoke them.

Yeah, Mobius, what's wrong with your sense of humor .
Letterman is the funnier talk show host, and the 'experts' all concur. The fact that he's won the Emmy for best late night talk show for 5 straight years ( ), shows something. Don't 'cha think?
And now Paul (Schaffer) is getting some movie parts!!“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

I can't stand watching shows with laughter in them (especially canned) for the same reasons as Asher, but I also feel that it cheapens the good jokes and sometimes even makes it hard to hear what they're saying.
It used to be on ABC, and I loved it. It was funny and entertaining.
It also had no laugh track or audience laughter, you had to decide if it was funny or not.
On Comedy Central, however, they have put in canned laughter and I can't stand to watch it anymore.
ACK!Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

Your wrong, Tuberski.
The FIRST season was all laugh track on ABC. Then after that they took it out (ABC didn't like it but went along).
When Comedy Central plays the first season shows they leave the laugh track in, but when they play later shows there is no laugh track at all.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

They had this 'Lettermanothon' here a few weeks back with shows spanning his entire career - the old stuff was genuinely funny!
Now it's just tired and he's old.

Next you'll say that all the oscars go to deserving people and aren't just industry pats on the back!

Mobius, Mobius, Mobius... we must get you a sense of humor, old chap.
It is obvious that Letterman is the funnier host. Leno is horrible. He is like a stand up comic that people boo!“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
