A laugh track (or laughter track) is an audio recording consisting of laughter (and other audience reactions) usually used as a separate soundtrack for comedy productions. The laugh track may contain live audience reactions or artificial laughter (canned laughter or fake laughter) made to be inserted into the show, or a combination of the two.
It’s all recorded. We’re not actually watching a live broadcast of them filming the show. They film it in front of an audience and record their laughter, creating the track. Then they include the track when editing the episode.
It's not about it being the same or nodt. But "shot in front of a live studio audience " and things like that, can take you out of the show either way.

Well, it's nothing like Young Sheldon. If the worst part about this show for you is Sheldon's character in the last seasons, TBBT will be a tough watch for you. If you don't mind him being insufferable and like to see how people around him manage life with him, it wil work
the big bang theory is the original, as you said it does have laugh tracks however if you do end up watching TBBT you’ll drown it out/get used to it. personally i’d say give it a shot, you said you ended up liking Young Sheldon unexpectedly, maybe you’ll like TBBT unexpectedly too!
if your concern is the laugh track then watch georgie and mandy's first marriage first, since it's closer to young sheldon you can see how you feel about the laugh track there before going all in on tbbt
Maybe it’s just because they were commonplace growing up but I really don’t hear the laughing track as an external sound or an interruption to what’s in front of me.
The laugh track gets lost in the background a bit. There are a few moments that it definitely shouldn't have been used though.
Other than that, it's an excellent show. While you're watching the beginning, just remember, all of these characters will learn and grow as people. They're all kind of awful in the beginning lol.
I don't want to give any spoilers, but there's a scene where he reflects on the person he used to be and says he doesn't want to be that way again. It's a really good storyline. The show has really great writing. I wish I could watch it for the first time again.
I used to think the same then I decided to watch it and trust me it will not matter to you once you start and sometimes they do add positively like when there is a serious moment it hits a lot harder when the audience doesn't laugh.
Young Sheldon is better. But I did enjoy BBT too. I’d say yes if you already have the streaming service with the show. If you don’t it’s probably not worth the extra expense.

Absolutely. There are laughter tracks but if you're into nerd characters, the show has a comforting charm. Could watch it in the background while doing chores even
Step 1 - Watch it
Step 2 - Decide for yourself
Enjoy 🍻
😉
watch. you'll tune out the laughing track
i dont care about laughs, also, it´s not a track
I know it's live but it's still recorded
A live audience is still a laugh track.
It isn't.
Don’t take my word for it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laugh_track
It literally says an audio recording, not live. Just proved yourself wrong.
It says an audio recording because it is. It’s a recording of the audience that was watching the show live. Read the second sentence.
Yeah, the recording part makes it a track. if it's a live audience reacting in real time, it's not a track.
It’s all recorded. We’re not actually watching a live broadcast of them filming the show. They film it in front of an audience and record their laughter, creating the track. Then they include the track when editing the episode.
Exactly? Thats my point. That recording is called a track, the track has laughing in it, hence the name laugh track.
Doesn't matter what Wikipedia says, I would never consider a live audience and a laugh track the same thing.
They’re not the same thing.
A live audience is a collection of humans watching and reacting to a performance.
A laugh track is an audio track that contains the reactions of the live audience (and May also contain canned laughter).
Yeh exactly, that's what I've been trying to say to these people, but they clearly don't agree.
TBBT had a live audience, that's a fact.
This is correct. A laugh track is an audio track that contains live audience reactions or canned laughter or a combination of the two.
The people downvoting you are sadly ignorant.
It's not about it being the same or nodt. But "shot in front of a live studio audience " and things like that, can take you out of the show either way.

What?
And keep in mind that it's a live audience

Big bang theory is the best, one of my all time favourite shows of all time I love young Sheldon
I soo agre! I'm just a few years older than the teins and it feels like going back to my own childhood. ❤️❤️❤️
(Except the Americana, the religion and a couple things more).
I was a Missy in many ways. Wven the new kids on the walls is spot on.
I've tried BBT several times, but I really didn't click. At all really.
So I'm wondering, what youre wondering.

I had to watch it until Season 2 episode 22. “CHECK YOUR MESSAGES!” Well worth the investment.
Big Bang is way better.
I thought I'd hate the laugh track too, but tbh I tuned it out after watching the first season.
I love young Sheldon, TBBT isn't my jam as much. It's funny, but it's a very different show! If you like sitcoms you should try it.
Dm me ;). 25m, 6’1, American Army Soldier
No
if your concern is the laugh track then watch georgie and mandy's first marriage first, since it's closer to young sheldon you can see how you feel about the laugh track there before going all in on tbbt
I’d say yeah mainly because I relate to the characters in tbbt a lot lol
Maybe it’s just because they were commonplace growing up but I really don’t hear the laughing track as an external sound or an interruption to what’s in front of me.
My wife and I watch reruns of it almost every night. It’s definitely got its moments IMO and it’s light enough to get you calm after a long day.
I hadn’t watched tbbt much until I decided to start it from the beginning a month ago, definitely worth it!
Yes. Very different vibe but absolutely hilarious.
Absolutely! I actually appreciated it even more after a re-watch when I finished Young Sheldon.
The first three seasons, yes.
I'm not a sitcom fan, so I couldn't watch The Big Bang Theory. So I just watched Young Sheldon twice.
sounds like something i’d do 😭 young sheldon really just hits different
The laugh track gets lost in the background a bit. There are a few moments that it definitely shouldn't have been used though.
Other than that, it's an excellent show. While you're watching the beginning, just remember, all of these characters will learn and grow as people. They're all kind of awful in the beginning lol.
The unsympathetic characters is my problem when starting to watch The Big Bang Theory. Good to hear that they evolve! ❤️
It takes a while, but they all become much better people. Howard in particular becomes the best version of himself, I loved his growth.
He ircs med the most. So, good to hear! 👍
I don't want to give any spoilers, but there's a scene where he reflects on the person he used to be and says he doesn't want to be that way again. It's a really good storyline. The show has really great writing. I wish I could watch it for the first time again.
The first seasons are

it worths every penny.. what are you talking about ?
How many Pennys is there in TBBT? ☺️
OP asked for an opinion and I gave it. Fuck me, right?
Um….. I think it’s nice. And yes the laughing track is distracting
Live studio audience. It’s worse in Georgie’s first marriage.
A live studio audience is a form of laugh track.
Again, it isn't.
Again, don’t take my word for it.

Again, doesn't matter what Wikipedia says, I would never consider a live audience and a laugh track the same thing.

It is a live audience
A live audience is a form of laugh track.
Very much so, just be aware that the first five seasons or so are much better overall than afterwards
Yes. But TBBT came first and they fixed certain plot points in young Sheldon.
💯💯💯
Seriously?
