Sitcoms: Have laugh tracks, we at home laugh a little... yet the actors never laugh. Why?

Asked by rpm_pseud0name (8208points) July 6th, 2010

In sitcoms, when a character says something funny, the other characters don’t even acknowledge the joke, yet the ‘audience’ is roaring with laughter. When the actors laugh, it’s considered a cut & added to the gag reel. Wouldn’t the actors laughing add a sense of realism & familiarity to the situation(comedy)? What world do they think we live in, where when a friend says something funny…we don’t laugh? Anyone else bother by this, just a little?
