 #**Our group came up with that it could be a blend of all four!
 #**Overall, it's more analytical, but there are some moments when you would give historical context (the laugh track for example. you discussed how tv originated as a "spin-off" of radios so it was more audio-focused in the beginning but it's slowly advancing to be more visual-focused). That gave historical context as to why shows needed the laugh track to be successful until a certain point in time.
