The story of The Very Special Episode
You could tell it was coming when the theme song got slower and the dad sat down on the edge of a bed. Suddenly the goofy neighbor had a serious problem, a guest star gave a speech, and nobody made a single joke for twenty minutes. Next week everything went back to normal, like nothing had happened.
The laugh track operator got the night off for very special episodes and usually went bowling.
