>>7959126Yeah i'm not a fan of the laugh track personally, but laugh tracks aren't themselves a sign of a bad show, its when the laugh track is used in place of any actual humour (like in the Big Bang Theory).
IT Crowd is different to BBT because it has proper setups, punchlines and payoffs throughout each episode, and it acknowledges that making a surface level nerd culture reference isn't a joke by itself.
Also I don't really care for the sitcom themed Ideas sets, I just like the IT crowd.
