Operative word: "Should".Perhaps you are unaware that there is a longstanding movement within moviedom for what's called "production sound". Directors and soundmen who go for that ideal realize that the drama and the comedy are all better when the actors work off each other.
Does the phrase "filmed before a live studio audience" strike a bell? Why do they go to the trouble?

Yep, ideally everyone should be in the same room playing off each other, but a good director can get good performances from talented actors in less than ideal circumstances. Of course, this assumes they wouldn't allow less than talented actors in front of a camera :)> Does the phrase "filmed before a live studio audience" strike a bell? Why do they go to the trouble?
Because the canned laugh tracks were becoming self-parodying, and as stand-up comedians got shows in the 70's they found it was easier to get them to play to a crowd instead of a camera. Sometimes a live audience is actually a bad thing, as the crowd gets restless through multiple takes; it depends on the actors, the material and the crowd.
