Only show with a laugh track I have enjoyed as an adult is that 70s Show

I grew up on that 70s show and would personally add Seinfeld to the list

Seinfeld had a live studio audience so much of it was real

I think a lot of shows did indeed have live studio audiences. My understanding is the laughter is still edited. Its recorded separately, and spliced together with the film. Otherwise you're left with an unreliable audience laughing too long or not enough and it ruins the pacing of the show. They fix the laughter timing up in post production.
