Laughing tracks
Laughing tracks are played in the background of the show, to obviously emulate laughter, as M*A*S*H was not filmed in front of a live audience. However Gelbert and the executive producer, Gene Reynolds, did not want a laughing track whatsoever but CBS overruled their decision. Although you can notice that the laughing tracks dies down with each passing season.
