Debbie, someone asked a similar question back in mid-October, so I will simply
re-post what I told him, as follows:
>>>Just watched "Opie the Birdman" and was puzzled over the fact that the
entire episode was lacking a laugh track, even prior to Opie's tragic killing
of the mama bird. The beginning scene in the courthouse had a comical
interchange where Barney cautioned Opie not to stick his tongue out, then does
it himself-no audience laughter! Has anyone else noticed this?<<<
Were you watching this on DVD, Eric? If so, you must have the initial
printings of the Season Four set that were missing laugh tracks on two of the
discs. This was brought up on the digest shortly after Season Four was
released. Paramount, to rectify the situation ("We got ourselves a
situation!"), offered to replace these discs with discs containing the laugh
tracks. I took advantage of this because I found it rather disconcerting
(having been conditioned to hear the laughter, canned though it may be) to
watch the shows without the tracks. As I recall, I just had to write Paramount
a letter requesting the replacement discs and include the proof-of-purchase
from the box.
Hope this helps.
