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 :)

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.
