the first six/seven seasons of frasier were brilliant. it helps that i saw it in isolation without having seen cheers before. it then really badly lost momentum and i don't know how they somehow managed a half decent second half to the final season. it wasn't until the later seasons that i even realised there was a laugh track.
That makes sense. I remember watching Cheers on Nick-at-Nite (pre-Fresh Prince) and loving the hell out of that show.
With Frasier, the writing was certainly sharp, never really too funny though, to me. Chuckle-worthy and clever at times, yes, but rarely laugh-out-loud.
we can only hope. there are very few occurrences where it helps. it's lucky that most shows i like with one are good enough that i'm laughing at the same time so it doesn't hurt as much.
Most definitely.
