its just one of those things - i dont even watch the show - i just hate the way he talks and looks ..his fucking haircut :mad:

no accounting for it .. the same way i like Ben .. i just think he's a likeable guy .. i like his presence - everyone hates him and i cant see it....dont know why he doesnt hit me that way ..

This might or might not start a Friends debate, but it's interesting how this show is very love/hate.

I personally think it was a great comedy series, and consistenly funny with six very watchable characters - all with spot-on comic timing - and excellent writing.

Like The Simpsons, watching Friends just makes you happy.

:) :) :)

Friends has some of the best comedic moments I've ever seen on television. Great series with just the right blend of so many different things.

i stopped watching TV years ago .. never saw more than a couple minutes of friends ... but i hated it. .. i hate the sitcom formula

not just a little ..

a LOT !
(i tried to make that sound monty pythonish)

i do think that jennifer aniston is insanely beautiful though.

After 5 pages you hated all the characters in a book... after a couple of minutes you hated an entire sitcom. You my friend jump to conclusions. :p

i only need one bite of a bad sandwich to know i dont like how it tastes :)

bad writing will reveal itself on the first page .. TV is no different.

There are patterns to everything ... TV and movies especially
within a couple of minutes you know everything about a TV show you need .. the writing, the type of humor...how they have shaped the characters ...
I will admit this about the things i do like ...

but i'll also say that the shows/movies that break the expected/established patterns are the ones i'm drawn to.

I agree with you on books, you probably won't like the writing if you don't after a few pages but I believe television shows can progress and change. It's nice to hear actual opinions on here though, rather than the usual "it sucked" or "I want to poo on it".

you will NEVER get that from me ..
if i dont like something i'll articulate why ..

I've given Friends several shots. It's just not my kind of humor. I DO like Matthew Perry. Chandler is the only one who ever got a laugh out of me. I always try to give things a chance.

Could Perry BE any more funny!?!?!?! Yeah, I'm lame.
