When I lived in New York, my tight group of 7 friends only had two white people in it.

The show's just so unrealistic.

Well yeah, they were all very successful people in very nice apartments with tons of time on their hands and all very attractive yet pretended they were everyday new yorkers of course you had a hard time relating to it. It was literally the life on easy mode, the life many many people coveted in the 90s and definitely covet now. Friends was what americans wanted to be and some fooled themselves into thinking there are people out there who are like those guys.

Seinfield or Living Single was far more accurate portrayal of life in 90s New York

No, since I'm a sheltered suburban white guy.

Hmm. I guess the show probably is targeted to suburban and rural folks in the midwest, and what they picture as an ideal life in NY

Unrelatability has been one of the main complaints levied at the show for a long time. hose apartments they live in are probably hella expensive and half of them are unemployed lol

Lol, that episode was on just the other night!

And Chandler actually had a real job, consistently, so it technically was possible he was "carrying" Joey most of the time.

Ross's situation was pretty unrealistic unless it was some sort of subsidized housing (for professors), which is possible.

And who knows about Phoebe? Was her place nice? Did we ever even see it?

Yeah and people were wearing fedoras before neckbeards twisted them into virgin signals of poor hygiene.

Connotation of the masses consumes all.

Chandler did "carry" Joey most of the time.

Ross probably got a stipend for "Off-Campus" housing due to his Professor-ship.

They showed her place near the final seasons, especially when she was about to marry "Mike".

Living Single is basically Friends done right, and it predates it.
