Well, not every production company uses the same laugh track. I doubt  
a laugh track off of "I Love Lucy" is going to be the exact same one  
you'd see in "Drake and Josh" or "3rd Rock From The Sun." Another  
problem is the background noise. Characters speaking, music, or any  
number of things could interfere. If these problems could be  
overcome, the system could, theoretically, be pretty effective. A  
very novel approach to the problem.
