It was Big Bang Theory with good looking people, with an equally obnoxious laughtrack.

The laughtrack was so bad. Holy shit. I remember when my roomies were binging it on Netflix and there was a laugh like every 3 seconds.

Fuck that show.

This horrifies me. I love F•R•I•E•N•D•S, but don't watch Big Bang Theory.

Friends was hilarious

It seems less funny because basically every one of its subplots have been reused by other sitcoms

I hated it once but only because my sister liked it. Once I actually took the time to watch it I liked it. There are characters I dislike though.

Overall I feel the hate towards it is due to the popularity more than it's content. This can be attributed to many other shows and movies.

It's the superman effect. People same superman is a lame generic superhero, forgetting that he was the original superhero that all of these better developed superheroes were based on.

That's a legitimate criticism of friends but that doesn't change the fact that it's one of the most influential sitcoms ever. The analogy I made wasn't about how much you enjoyed superman. It was about how important superman was to the fabric of comic books.

Look at all the sitcoms that came after friends and to this day. So much direct inspiration from Friends and Seinfeld.

i just realized that considering that Ross and Rachel had a kid together, the kid is in the show very little.
like, is she at a daycare/nanny almost constantly?

hell, the monkey was probably in more scenes than the kid

yeah, i know. the kid would probably ruin it, but still.
in just a story/ character development perspective, it's like they only have a kid when they want to have it, and just dump it somewhere any time else.
it's weird

looked at the wiki now.
it says the kid was in 22 episodes, out of the 43 episodes after the birth.
maybe i remembered it wrong, i thought it was born way earlier.

It's the Everybody Loves Raymond effect; in that show, the main couple had 3 kids, and you'd barely even know it, with how little they show up.

If the show isn't about them, there are a thousand ways to keep them sidelined.

Speaking of sitcoms, can I nominate Everyone (actually hates) Raymond?

Friends was a genius sitcom that ran amazing seasons for about 6 out of 10 of them. There were classic episodes like Ross's Teeth Whitening, and Joey's Box Porsche.

Never really watched Friends when it aired, but thought it was funny whenever I caught a random episode. Remember the news reporting people literally crying when it ended.

Also saw some edited clip where they remove the laugh track from one of the characters at a womens self defense course. Turns morbidly hilarious. Fufu
