1. The 'friends in an apartment' format. I think this was pioneered by Seinfeld.

2. The family sitcom. No point in naming anything specific, we all know this one going back 40 years.

3. The workplace sitcom

All constantly spamming laugh tracks after non-jokes.

I don't get it. The only sitcom I remember liking that had a laugh track was Married With Children, and it was essentially a parody of family sitcoms.
Everything Ed O'Neill touches is gold. Modern Family is hilarious. My 2nd favorite after Married with children.
