Freinds was and is shite. Loved by vacuous Pringle eating air heads who couldn't understand Cheers or Frasier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to join in with the bashing of it, but there's too many times where I've referenced it for that to hold water. In the age of streaming and multiple options Friends wouldn't have survived, but it was great in its day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was a great show considering how basic a concept it all was. Any Friends episode after chandler and Monica got together was unwatchable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occurrences would call to mind a similar happening in an episode of Friends so I'd use that as a comparison. Fair enough you don't like it. There are many legitimate criticisms (Joey's character's stupidity stretched credulity and Phoebe's character was obviously unlikeable), and a lot of illegitimate ones (judging past comedy by today's standards is a PTTGOMN incidentally). Finally, Texas BBQ Pringles are up there with the best of crisps and I will die on that hill . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thistledo Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I like Friends and Cheers, Frasier is permanently on in the morning at my inlaws so I more or less can't stand the c**t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Back in the 90s when they were first on, Channel 4 on a Friday night was excellent. Friends, Frasier and ER. Friends (especially) and Frasier have been repeated to death. And all 3 shows went on far too long, well past when they were good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
