The Trouble with Tracy is a Canadian television series produced by CTV for the 1970–1971 television season, with intended distribution by the U.S.-based National General Pictures. The series was based on scripts from the American radio comedy Easy Aces (1930–1945), written by Goodman Ace. It is considered by some to be one of the worst situation comedies ever produced.
The series was produced as a daily show and aired on weekday afternoons at 3:30 pm, beginning September 14, 1970.
130 episodes—seven episodes filmed every five days—were produced. The series was notable for its low production values. Errors, including flubbed lines and bloopers, often appeared in the final broadcasts due to the lack of budget for retakes. The series used a laugh track instead of a live studio audience.
