By adding these laugh tracks to most of the situation comed)t films now being produced in Hollywood for TV, the industry is under the illusion that the viewers won't be able to tell the good ones from the bad ones.

Marc Daniels, who directed "I Love Lucy" last year and is currently holding down that post on Married Joan," is one of the few within the industry openly to condemn this shilling for laughs.

But if be bears laughs on the film, then be's convinced. There are two basic methods for adding a laugh track on film. The "I Love Lucy" meth.

The second technique involves running off a "preview" of the film in a small theater, recording the audience laughs them -onto the film in ths laboratory. In either ease you are depriving the home viewer of his right to discover for himself if be thinks the show Is as funny as a group of people did who saw it previously.
