These recorded laughs could be added to single-camera filmed programs. The first American television show to incorporate a laugh track was the sitcom "The Hank McCune Show" in 1950. Other single-camera filmed shows, like "The Pride of the Family" (ABC, 1953–54), soon followed suit, though several, like "The Trouble with Father" (ABC, 1950–55), "The Beulah Show" (ABC, 1950–52) and "The Goldbergs" (several networks, 1949–56), did not feature an audience or a laugh-track. "Four Star Playhouse", an anthology series, did not utilize a laugh-track or audience on its occasional comedy episodes, with co-producer David Niven calling the laugh track "wild indiscriminate mirth" and stating that "I shall blackball the notion if it ever comes up. Not that it will. We shall carry on without mechanical tricks".
