The Thick Of It
Green Wing
Pretty much all Alan Partridge stuff
The Day Today/Brass Eye
People Just Do Nothing
15 Storeys High
Outnumbered
Twenty Twelve/W1A
Getting On
People Like Us

I also agree with Curb Your Enthusiasm, Parks and Recreation, The Office.
I may have forgotten that the odd one out of these has a laughing track, but I don't think so.

M.A.S.H.
Never intended to have a laugh track until some network pinhead thought people wouldn't know when to laugh.
When it was finally released on DVD all laugh tracks were removed and it elevated the series so much more.

Most recently we've been watching Parks and Recreation. Quasi docu-comedy that constantly breaks the fourth wall.

The Good Place is indeed a good show. It has a dark humor that I prefer in sitcoms.
and if u manage to make comedy out of Immanuel Kant, David Hume and moral philosophy, then your ontou something very interesting. As a student of aesthetic and epistemology (beginner level)if you manage to make entertainment out of proper and heavy true philosophy, then your a certefied genius.

I could also make another one focusing on animated ones, i have obviously heard of the Simpsons, and could easly follow up that one with South Park, Family Guy, Archie and Bojack Horseman etc.

The Office is a good call, an important sit-com esque show, with a twist.

The only one that springs to mind is The Royal Family
Friedrich Nietzsche: "Without music, life would be a mistake."



Music Is Live

Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed.



Keep Calm And Listen To The Music…

I have a nieche in my appreciation when it come to humor series, whom partly are based on the sit-com genre, but also borrows from satire, calm faced, absurdist, and surreal in your face abrupt humor.

I want people to list those i don't remember, i will list though is know, do not have laughter in the background. You might possibly be laughing though as the shows are usuaøy hillarious at best. Sometimes they do add laughing track, but that just to mock or pay hlmage to the sit-com norm.

List of tv-shows (live action) from when i first noticed it

Malcolm in the Middle (hillarious)
Scrubs (my favourite tv-show)
Psych (very good show, mix of crime investigation and sillyness)
Community (fun-fun)
The Good Place (My curent favourite TV show in this format)

I know there are other shows of this kind, i ned more so i can make a poll about favourite tv shows with no laughing track.
