Interesting story: CBS and Charles Schulz went to war over including a laugh track in A Charlie Brown Christmas. Schulz absolutely refused to allow it because he wanted to audience to enjoy the show at their own pace. CBS officials believing the special was terrible and doomed to failure thought a laugh track would possibly save it. They even made a version of the special with the canned laughter. However, Schulz would not budge and eventually got his way. The result is an all time, unmutilated classic.

Suck it, CBS.
