It's a multi-camera "Filmed in front of a LIVE audience" vs single-camera sitcom issue.

Sitcoms shot in multi-camera format are often shot in front of a studio audience. And then the canned laughter is played over the real laughter. These are much cheaper to produce. Single-camera sitcoms that are shot like movies are much more expensive and don't have a laugh track.

Now some (mostly UK) single camera shows have canned laughter played over top. No excuses for that.
