Last Sitcom Not to Be Filmed Before A Studio Audience?


I can't recall any later ones. A number of the 50s and 60s shows just filmed their shows on a studio lot and added a laugh track later like THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES, THE MUNSTERS, GILLIGAN'S ISLAND, BEWITCHED, etc. but the trend for a live studio audience watching the cast that started with I LOVE LUCY in the early 1950's seemed to become the norm rather than the exception only during the early 1970's with ALL IN THE FAMILY, THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW, etc.

I don't think this was the last. Happy Days started after the Doris Day Show went off the air and its earlier seasons weren't filmed before a studio audience. Of course that later changed along with the original focus of the show.

How about M*A*S*H?

No blah, blah, blah!

Of course it wasn't. The first season of The Odd Couple wasn't shot in front of a studio audience.
