I went to a live taping of "Mom" in 2017. We were sitting a few yards from the stage and as a group we were genuinely laughing. The only thing fake was a few times they had to re-film a scene and they asked us to laugh the same way the 2nd time.
When we later saw the episode on TV, it sounded like a laugh track. But I had noted a few odd laughs when we were live, and they were still in the recording.
I don't know if technicians ever adjust or add to the real live laughs, but it/s possible this show is not really using a laugh track and you are actually hearing the live audience recorded laughs.

I’m disappointed because this is the exact type of comfort show I’d love to support but laugh tracks make me physically uncomfortable.
Recent like Young Sheldon and Son of a Critch show you can make quality funny stuff without forced laughter and awkward joke pauses.
Please networks. Stop with the laugh tracks 😭
same same - i was excited to try it but couldn't get past a few minutes of the laugh track

I really liked Linda Lavin in this and was so sad to hear of her passing.

Sadly, Linda Lavin died soon after Christmas last year.
I enjoyed seeing her in “No Good Deed” with Lisa Kudrow.
She also played a formidable matriarch in a good episode of Law and Order: Criminal Intent, but that was a while back.

Agree about the laugh track. But I love Nathan Lane, and he does a great job here as well. I don’t mind it.

Awful. I’m not wasting more time on it just to see if it gets better by the third episode.
Hacks is back next week. So much better.

I really wanted to like this. Couldn’t get past 10 minutes. It was that bad. And I watch the trashiest of shows so wasn’t expecting Emmy level storytelling.

It takes a few episodes to get into it and connect with the characters, so stick with it.
I wish they would have included Jm J Bullock playing his character Monroe from Too Close for Comfort.

Loving this show with Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer, Linda Lavin and others.
It’s a bit like the Golden Girls concept but with gay men living in Palm Springs.
