I was watching the pilot and I heard something ... I didn't realize what it was at first. Turned out it was a "laugh track." It seemed to come on at random times, without any particular connection to the dialog at the time.
Imagine you were watching CSI, and the coroner said "I estimate the time of death between 3 and 5 am" and then there was a laugh track.
Was this show funny in 1982? Hard to imagine, seeing as how it is NOT funny today.
Interesting, delightfully weird characters, but it doesn't SEEM to be a comedy (not even a LITTLE funny). I would characterize it as a half-hour drama.
I have to admit it has been fun to see the period music celebrities.
