I do: It fucking sucks. Yes, the cast is good, but the writing ain't worth shit. I get no laughs from it, and I'm tired of everyone saying how funny it is. All the humor in it is decades old and very stale. So there.
Just my two cents, folks....

Chandlerisms, 'nuff said.

Friends used to be funny, but it blows this season. Rachel is a horrible mother, Ross needs to take that kid and run off. Scrubs, which comes on after Friends, is much funnier.

I've watched a bit of this season,and I'm glad it's going off the air after this. But some episodes are classics. And Chandlerisms, despite which season you choose, are always funny.

Consider downloading the episode where the gang goes to Las Vegas and Joey finds his "identical hand twin." One of my favorite episodes ever.

Agreed. Scrubs is a breath of fresh air in a stale room, so to speak.
Funny, witty, and new.
Friends was ok at first, but then...... YUCK.

Phoebe at times makes Friends...watchable somewhat.

Scrubs is fun.

And it's getting considerably good ratings, thank god. I would hate to see it get cancelled.

Yes, it has taken the path of most sitcoms these days. It has gotten just stupid, IMHO. In fact, I cannot think of a current sitcom out now that is funny, they are all just dumb! More evidence of the degradation of the quality of TV.

Pheebee was the ONLY funny person on Friends.
Too bad she didn't have a bigger role.
Scrubs is the only watchable sitcom on these days besides Seinfeld reruns and Andy Ricther. ( I know it's spelled wrong, dont flame me.

)

I would have to say newer Friends sucks, but the old Chandler/Joey dialogue rocked.

I would love to have Scrubs run for at least 5 seasons if not more...

Yeah, Chandler went from being the funniest guy on the show to being an absolute tool. What the hell?

For me Friends hit it's peak when Joey got that turkey stuck on his head. After that it went down hill rapidly.

As the local morning radio DJ says, "Friends is lifestyle porn for women."

Think about it: they can afford nice apartments in downtown Manhattan, one of the most expensive fucking places on the planet, while working jobs like "coffee-shop waitress?" It's soap-opera without the faux-gravitas.

This is explained on the show...IIRC, she's illegally subletting the apartment from a relative, or something like that (yes, I know I'm a dork).

Argh, MARCEL, I hated that fucking monkey. I won't even watch first-season reruns because of him.

I am going to use that quote against every single girl on my dorm who likes Friends and see their reaction.

Then I shall run.
