Sorkin/Schlamme fought it hard, but at the time, the idea of doing a half hour show without a laugh track was so completely foreign that they lost the fight.Mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-34744662280862801832013-01-03T18:32:52.318-05:002013-01-03T18:32:52.318-05:00*Laugh track.

Totally different song. Still, if "Happy Birthday" persists despite the copyright, then it stands to reason that particular tune adds value.
