1. Yep.. The first season was ok |
|
but after a while it got so dumb..
It's almost pathetic.. The whole premise.. a bunch of 30 somethings still living like college kids :(..Not funny...sad..

The first couple of seasons were funny but a bunch of late 30 somethings still not having a clue how to get along in life without the after school (work) coffee house meet-up is frightening. I still can't believe they are each making a million an episode. Then again, we have Britneys and Christinas making millions more so who's accounting for taste in this fucked up world.

Ross & Rachel took a break.
That & the triplets arc were really the end.

10. That "Ross" guy is the most annoying creature on the planet... |
|
next to the guy that plays him. He has one of those voices that just sounds like he's ACHING with constipation, like he hasn't had a bowel movement in a week.

12. Maybe if I was 20 years younger, I could relate... |
|
But at 46, I don't get it. There's nothing in that show that speaks to my life, but I suppose a show about a half-a-dozen people living lives of desperate isolation in their little flats wouldn't sell allergy pills, would it?

14. I've seen "Friends" only once |
|
and that was last Thanksgiving. The woman who hosted several of us in the apartment building for dinner is a devoted fan and would not miss the show. I didn't laugh once, and I haven't watched since.

16. I like Friends. No accounting for the taste of others, I guess. |

To me, sports is dumb, dumb, dumb. Your pictures of sports figures impress me as much as I would impress you if I had pictures of Joey and Phoebe and Rachel.
Here's the thing--neither sports nor light sitcoms are hugh intellectual investments. It's just about taste.
