It's a Laugh Productions, Inc. is an American company that creates live-action TV shows. These shows are mostly teen sitcoms (funny shows about teenagers) and sketch comedy shows. You can watch them on Disney Channel and Disney XD. This company is part of Disney Branded Television, which is owned by The Walt Disney Company.
Many of their shows are made and filmed at Hollywood Center Studios. However, some popular shows were filmed at different places. For example, Good Luck Charlie and Austin & Ally were filmed at Sunset Bronson Studios. The very first episode of Hannah Montana was filmed at Hollywood Center, but then the show moved to Sunset Bronson. Jonas was unique because it was filmed like a movie, using a single camera, instead of the usual multiple cameras used for sitcoms. It was also filmed in real places, not just on a set.
