I remember reading somewhere that the original creators of the show never wanted a laugh track, but CBS put their foot down and forced them to have one.

The laugh track was able to be removed for certain episodes and was later toned down and eventually eliminated all together.  I also remember reading the laugh track was never added in the UK.
