Does STYD even have an audience? And who knows if it or even PAX will be around next Fall.
Nope, Shop 'Til You Drop doesn't have an audience, as did/does Supermarket Sweep. But they use a lot of applause and cheering tracks though.
Of course, other than the aforementioned game shows that tape there (TPIR, Wheel, Jeopardy, Feud, Street Smarts), there's also Leno, Kimmel, Kilborn, and that new Ryan Seacrest show, but that's another story.
Man, thosee college folks that'll be hitting L.A. during Spring Break are gonna be TORN between TPIR and the other shows!

Sweep USED to have an audience, but don't anymore, as per Randy West. At one time, they'd have an audience who would stay to see the pre-Big Sweep festivities for a few tapings, then they'd tape the sweeps without an audience IIRC, but they would show shots of the audience cheering during the Sweep.
STYD's FAM-era audience were people sitting at the little tables in some of the stores on the upper tier as I recall Heidi Cayn Friedman mentioning on Usenet at the time.
