Even if you watch it in a vacuum and not compare it to any sitcoms that came after it it still just seems so... tame and boring. There is no boundary pushing, intelligent jokes, or especially artistic writing/camera work/etc
This is coming from someone that used to like friends and seen every episode multiple times, but once you become an adult and get a more refined taste it just seems so plain --- Muscles Chicago Bears | Chicago Blackhawks | Chicago Bulls | Chicago Cubs | NIU Huskies ... Copied to Clipboard!

I never got the Friends craze even though I grew up while it was happening. I always thought Frasier and Seinfeld were much funnier.

Even if you watch it in a vacuum and not compare it to any sitcoms that came after it it still just seems so... tame and boring. There is no boundary pushing, intelligent jokes, or especially artistic writing/camera work/etc In other words, you appreciated it at the time, but as time passed and you had more experiences, it stopped seeming remarkable? That's how things like this go: They influence everything that comes after them and experiencing those other things prevents the original from standing out. As much as you'd like to think you're watching it in a vacuum and not comparing it to others, you do have a suite of expectations and standards that have been set by everything you've experienced, and every experience you have is subconsciously compared to those.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SeinfeldIsUnfunny Yes, exactly. jiffdiff posted... Seinfeld is still hilarious though and everyone who says that is wrong and should feel bad. Honestly, Seinfeld never really clicked with me. It's got its share of great moments, certainly, so I can enjoy watching clips from it, but my general impression has always been that it's pretty dull outside of those, such that it's not one I've ever felt much drive to watch full episodes of. A good chunk of that, though, is probably due to the fact that I only reached an age where I could enjoy it in the early 2000's, well after it had exerted its influence and the industry had built considerably on it. Muscles posted... I'm pretty sure nothing I like was influenced by it at all seeing as I don't like any sitcoms that came after it You think that a sitcom is only able to influence other sitcoms? You dramatically overestimate how isolated the different sectors of the entertainment industry are. Furthermore, I don't recall specifying that it was things you like that were influenced by it. If anything, it's pretty reasonable to infer that not liking subsequent sitcoms was at least partially because they felt unoriginal due to being too much like Friends. You seem to be under the impression that your standards just changed spontaneously, or as part of an inevitable, natural process. That never happens. There's always some sort of reason for our tastes in entertainment, even if it's impossible to tie it down to a single, easily-identified cause. We are products of the complex interactions between our various experiences, many of which happen totally subconsciously. --- This is my signature.
