It could, also due in part that at the time, it was one of the more innovative shows on the air. It was one of the first comedies to air entirely without a laugh track, be shot on film, be filmed with a single-camera set up, be filmed (mostly) on location (apart from most of the indoor scenes, I guess), and also have the main character consistently breaking the fourth wall. Although you could argue that Saved By The Bell had some outdoor scenes shot on location, and Zack usually broke the fourth wall, at the beginning and end of the episodes. Some other sitcoms probably did do some of the other things, as well, but, to my knowledge, none of them combined all that.
And as opposed to most sitcoms at the time, the humor was character-driven, as opposed to punch lines ; which is probably why it doesn't have a laugh track.
