Some programs have them.  "As Time Goes By", a favourite for both
Valerie and me, has one.  I hadn't noticed until one time and then I
realized it had been there all along.  Maybe the volume is lower and so
it's not so intrusive, maybe it's not used at every joke ... but they do
have them.

Anybody got some Benny Hill tapes?
