Which sitcoms use live studio audiences?
What's the alternative to live studio audiences? A laugh track? What exactly is a "laugh track"?
What if a show has an actual live studio audience and the actors tell a joke which is followed by silence from the crowd? Is there a "applause" sign?
Have you ever been in an actual sitcom studio audience? If so, what was it like?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

It really depends on the individual show. The Drew Carey Show would rewrite the joke on the spot, live, if they didn't get the laugh they wanted, but not all shows lived by that rule.
So, to honestly answer your question. I don't think there are any shows that rely 100% on the actual audience sound without doing some post-production enhancements.

I've been part of live studio audiences before, one thing you should know is that a 30 minute sitcom takes about 2 hours or slightly more to actually tape. The scenes are shot in chronological order and there are signs to laugh when appropriate, but more importantly I remember they always have what they call a warm-up guy.
He or she is a comedian that warms up the crowd before shooting and is always visible to encourage laughs when needed by waving his arms or making a gesture.
It's a fun and unique experience.
