"We don't have a laugh track, which helped Seinfeld a lot, and did kind of tell people when to laugh. It just made it a lot easier. Our show doesn't have that, so it's hard for Middle America to catch on"

Nevertheless, their show does not have a laugh track, making it more tough for audiences in Middle America to get the jokes. This might be due to the fact that the humor in their show might be more subtle and not as apparent without the cue of a laugh track. Shawkat's statement highlights the impact of production aspects on the success of a program.
