At first I wouldn't have counted the Simpsons, but Wikipedia reminded me cartoons had laugh tracks too. They have a pretty decent article on the history of laugh tracks. It mentions Dream On and The Larry Sanders Show as starting the trend of no laugh track.

Both of those were great shows! I encourage anyone and everyone to find episodes of "Dream On." It felt like they were finally making TV for my generation, not for my grandparents.

Oh yeah, she was great! I wish all the episodes were available, uncut on DVD.
