[slimfandango]

Is it just me or is this the best TV show ever?

will you get real and get a life you are sad.

[jaggers]

No way!! Do NOT listen 2 these other humourless morons! Friends is the best programme in the whole wide worlddd! I love it soo much! Can we have competitions 2 c who knows the most lines of Friends? lol Double points if it's one of Joey's!!

"I still remember your name...lady!!"

"If the homosapiens were in fact, HOMOsapiens...is that y ther extinct?"

"Joey stop hitting on her! It's her wedding day!"     "What, like thers some kinda rule?!"

"So I was backpacking around West Europe..."

"So ur just gonna stand up in front of every1 not knowing wot 2 say?"                                               "Hey, I do that every day with six cameras pointing at me!"

and of course...

"How you doin'?"

hehe better stop now in case i get labelled as a slightly obsessive fanatic freak...

Ah, once you get it, you really get it. I didn't 'get it for ages, then you just 'get' the characters and slip into a groove. The writing is good and intelligent, the acting is superb...I just love it. Always come off better having watched a show.

Sorry slim, it was just that I had been just reading your passionate arguments against religion and then when I came across this it surprised me, I wouldn't have picked "Friends" to be your choice.Don't know why. Anyway didn't mean to offend. Glad you like Six feet Under though. Cheers

[Ouisch]

"Ever"?   Um, no.

Think I Love Lucy, The Bob Newhart Show, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Seinfeld, Golden Girls.

friends was good but then got crap at d end. 'scrubs' and the Simpsons are now the best!!

[donegal]

And of course how can u 4get 'Father Ted' one of the best sitcoms ever!!!!!

What's interesting about everyone's opinions is that without exception they're all American programs - and I'm no different - I used to love Cheers, Hill street Blues, Twin Peaks, Northern Exposure, 6 feet under etc etc, So much for quality British telly - we're still playing repeats of Only fools and horses for gods sake.

[ludwig]

oops, seemed to have done that twice - anyway thanks donegal - how could I forget the Simpsons

[slimfandango]

lots of seinfield and scrubs fans, it would seem...

[elleroo]

i tend to agree... friends is my favourite show ever. i dont think that is sad to say although some will disagree! i watched it right from the very beginning and watched the characters change and evolve etc. brilliant tv viewing its a shame its gone now. :-(

Tonight 8pm C4. Yey!

I'm enjoying it a little less now, because instead of just laughing at the funny bits I'm trying to understand why someone wouldn't like this show! I think it is maybe open to some miscomprehension. Like in the way the french and americans sometimes don't 'get' british humour. Objectively, I would have to say in Friends they just identify particular human quirks and foibles, explore them, and observe them acutely well. Like

-long term 'on-off' love

-guys who might be half gay but aren't

-the angst of going from 20's to 30's

-what happens when your friend moves in on your ex

the list goes on. They just do it really well. Like today's evolution one...just brilliant. i've been in Ross's position on this loads, and so often the 'Phoebe' angle is used. First, the objector appears dumb, sets you up, then knocks you over at your own game.

I'm just worried I might run out of 'fresh' episodes. What the heck do I do then? Start watching 'Joey'?

[slimfandango]

I'm fiiiiiiiiiiiiine.

ROFL.

[joules99]
