Review of Laugh Tracks Part One and Part Two

A wonderful program about comedians and how reality of life, pain and stereotypes have shaped their comedy routines. A variety of comedians represented by different cultures, background, and style talk about their life, family and personal stories. The piece smoothly swims in and out of their lives punctuating with the appropriate comdey routines. Lots of laugh out loud moments. Now, if I had to review this piece with one word, it would be 'Anti-depressant'. It's not original, but you get my meaning.
