Not only that, but the theme song is the worst piece of shit ever to fall out of a fat corporate cat's ass...
-
I saw one episode...the lesbian episode.
-
I like it and I watch it. Does it hold a candle to Bob Newhart, Mary Tyler Moore, Cheers or early Seinfeld? No way. Is it better than most drek on t.v.? Yeah, I think so (but not Scrubs or Arrested Development). And it kind of perfectly hits my demographic, as I'm the same age as the friends basically, and live in a big city with a tight-knit group of friends who are still mostly single but pairing up.
It's definitely losing steam and time to go. Will I have a "Goodbye Friends" party? No. Will I watch the reruns? No. Do I feel like I wasted time watching most of the episodes? No.

Same here...

Surprisingly I quite like it. I was always resistant to it and refused to watch. But its easily identifiable characters that are always reliable and full of ready whit, make me think that there are a lot worse things on T.V. Any reality series, for a start.

I personally like it also, i'll watch Seinfeld over it though. I didnt expect people on this board to like it cause they dont usually like what the masses like anyways. As for picking it over Cheers......NO way man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I seldom ever watch TV (save hockey games) but if i do its cause my girlfriend is watching it, and she loves Friends and Will & Grace.
trust me, i would definitely rather watch Friends. and i think Matthew Perry is very funny. Jennifer Aniston is quite hot and thats about as far as it goes.
maybe NBC will adopt Trigger Happy TV with just Dom.

Funny you say that. The song was out before it was used by the show. Think it was Jennifer Aniston who liked it. Don't watch the show, but picked that tidbit up somewhere...

Are they porky midgets, or just run of the mill midgets?

Am I the only person that thinks this show sucks this season? I couldn't get enough of it last time around. This season I can't even sit through an entire episode.

C'mon,you mean you didn't even like the episode where Larry picked up the prostitute just so he could use the multi person diamond lane to get to the ballgame on time?I really liked that one,especially since his wife ended up thinking he did her to fullfill his b/day present.
-
I don't like Friends but my wife watches it so I tend to sit through it.. David Schwimmer makes me want to jump through the telly and kick his whining sorry arse. There are the odd funny bits now and again. Then again, I thought Seinfeld was grossly overrated too.
What failing spin-off sitcom will come from Friends? The two that just adopted the kid living in the burbs maybe?
-
Nope, Joey's moving to L.A. for his acting career. Seriously.

From NY Post:
February 10, 2004 -- THE final episode of "Friends" isn't even in the can yet but they're already casting its spin-off, "Joey."
In the new show, Matt LeBlanc continues his role as Joey Tribbiani, the loveable-but-dim soap actor from "Friends," who moves to Los Angeles to become a star.
The new show has three other main characters, according to the Web site, Filmjerk, which yesterday posted the so-called casting sheets that have been quietly circulating among Hollywood casting agents in recent weeks.
The new characters include:
* Gina: Joey's older sister who is an "attractive hairdresser living in Los Angeles with her son."
She's in her late 30s and is "probably smarter than Joey and blessed with the Tribbiani family's good looks."
She has a way with men, much the same way Joey has with women.
Gina, who's very close to Joey, had a wild youth, but raising her son has grounded her.
* Michael: Gina's 21-year-old son. Another attractive Tribbiani, but he doesn't realize it - and unlike his uncle, Michael is really intelligent, booksmart and street- smart.
He attends grad school at CalTech and despite all he's got going for him, Michael is still a little socially awkward.
* Allison: Joey's new neighbor is described as attractive (but not glamorous), intelligent, self deprecating and in her late 20s or early 30s.
She's stuck in a bad marriage and while she's not the kind of girl Joey usually goes for there's "something palpable between them and they begin to develop a friendship."
Since the show is still in the early stages, the three characters' could be changed.

People say they identify with different characters on that show...but just from casual occasional glimpses at it, I never identified with any of the male characters, and I thought the women were boring and uniteresting to look at.
Anyone else feel the same way?
-
i hate the characters and find the NASA channel funnier and more entertaining. its like a porno without the sex...

yeah, only vice versa...they're all cheesy and I'd never hang out with any of them!

Never could stand that dumbass show. As for Seinfeld, I could watch it over and over. I've seen one episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm and didn't like it.
-
I don't think I've watched a sitcom regularly since Seinfeld went off the air.
But nothing beat Happy Days growing up.

So if Gina is "in her late 30s" (let's say 37)...and her son is 21... then she was about 15 when she got knocked-up... hmmmm, nice.
-
No way would they be able to get away with that bit of casting if this were a black tv family.
But I guess it's ok to make italian women look like teenage hussies...

I know...I'm thinking at least the son should be 15 or something (also, a 21-year old grad student?).
That's how they did it on the O.C. The actress who plays the mom is 36. Son is 16 or 17 (don't know which, but they can all drive). Me and my friends are *really* behind the curve! Mid-30s with babies and toddlers...

Was that this week's episode? I didn't see it, but my SO said it was the best one so far this season. Maybe I'll watch this weekend.
