Arrived this morning. I might have found it a little bit too much fun...

Just watched the latest episode, which was one of the funniest ones I've seen.

YES! That online gaming episode was gold!

This series seems better than the first, They all seem more confident in their roles. I'm loving The Big Bang Theory!!

My one problem with Big Bang Theory is that canned laughter. It really grates my nerves to the point that i start to hate the show.

I know it's really well written with some great geek/science humour, and that it has some great characters. But that damn canned laughter, i can't bear to the point that i can't stand the show.

Why is it there?!

WHY IS IT THERE?!

I should think it's real audience laughter. Not canned.

It is real.

There is no way that can be real.
Nothing sounds that fake.
Not even Americans.

It is real. Sorry to disappoint.

It's no secret that sometimes it's a bit 'enhanced' in post, but it's real.

No.
I call bullshit.
I refuse to believe it.
There is no possible way that those are real people making those sounds.
That sound is the stuff nightmares are made off.

I've never even noticed the audience laughter. If someone had asked me if they even had it on that show, I wouldn't have been able to answer with certainty.

I have actually just been struggling to think of laughter in it too.

I haven't watched the last 2 eps though. Really must.

I can just about remember Sheldon sometimes having to pause between lines for laughter to stop, if I concentrate reeeeally hard.

Yeah, I don't notice the canned laughter either.

When Sheldon said "there, there." I laughed so hard at that.
