Hannah's blog post was very fascinating. I thought it was extremely creative to add in an activity portion of her blog post. I liked being able to participate in this study and learn more about the effect that laugh tracks have on popular tv shows. I was interested to find out that laugh tracks influence individual episodes as opposed to shows as a whole. Originally, I would have thought that laugh tracks always elicit more laughter from an audience, however this is clearly not the case.
