Nothing new, just visual rather than audible. Sitcoms used to be shot in front of a live audience. Then when people didn't laugh at the appropriate places they began to "sweeten" the soundtrack after the fact. It finally got to a point where you would see scenes that were obviously filmed outdoors but the laugh track would still be there. Fakery is a tried-and-true fallback for "improving" television.
