Most of these shows are still filmed in front of studio audiences. :smithicide:

Actually, they tend to pre-record the episode and then show that recording to audiences. It's a lot rarer these days for a 3 camera sitcom to actually be performed on a stage in front of other human beings for their entertainment. Back in the day when All In The Family made that transition in the final season, they were pretty upfront about it, changing the VO mentioning it from "All in the Family was recorded on tape before a live audience" to "All in the Family was played to a studio audience for live responses".

Recording live on tape was common in the 70s, but by the 80s it was a lot more common to have a show start off with weasel words trying to make it sound like it was, when really they were playing tape back to an audience. That trend continued into the 90s on certain shows (I think Home Improvement and Everybody Loves Raymond did it, but it's been a long time) but nowadays it tends to not even be addressed. The only show I can think of off the top of my head that actually plays live to an audience is Big Bang Theory, unless I'm mistaken.
