OT: Movies/TV Shows

[JackBurton]

Kirk!

AMAZING character. That show should have been a classic. Also the instructor:
"Were...There.... ANNNNY.......SEXUAL PROBLEMS?"

One thing I can give friends credit for it seems to have captured multiple generations... My daughter's watched every episode and she's in her twenties now and I'm pretty sure that's when I watched it or at least when it was on I didn't watch it that much

 

[Bleedsblue&white]

Maybe my thirties I can't remember this kind of stuff

Friends got a bad rap for not being "cool" or edgy but it really was a good show. IMO the best network sitcom since Seinfeld was How I Met Your Mother.

I never watched How I Met Your Mother, but Friends was a great show.

 

[Habsy]

You should try HIMYM. It's funny although I wanted to slap Ted over and over.

Barney makes the show. Period.

I'm not sure I could watch a conventional sitcom again. I never liked the format all that much to begin with, and really only watched a handful that were good enough to overcome it.

The Friends hate was due to it being so overexposed. I mean one of the major magazines in the mid 90's declared David Swimmer the next big movie sensation. It got tiresome.

Hence the term Try

I love sitcoms. Eagerly anticipating the next good one to be created. It’s been many years since there’s been one.

Cosby Show was a terrible show. And not because 'America's dad" was doing naughty things.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Amazing show.

When Things Were Rotten

Mel Brooks comedy from my youth

 

[JackBurton]

Zeke loved friends so much he got the Rachel cut back in 98'

Man I thought Friends was objectively shit, but I acknowledge there is value in a show that makes one "comfortable". That's largely what sitcoms were about, more so than being a work of art television program. Every Thursday at 8:30pm you can turn off your brain and depend on a familiar cast of characters to brighten your shitty day.

No

yeah...I thought it was a bunch of lame, hacky jokes....but far be it from me to police how others choose to take a break from their shitty days

 

[Volcanologist]

no, it's definitely shit.

The idiocy of Joey Tribbiani did it for me. Chandler and Ross were meh although some episodes with Ross (The tanning booth) are pretty funny.

They’re all lame hacky jokes. They’re sitcoms.
