I'm a postmodern comedian
That's so bad it's good.
I remember the cast of Friends being on some chat show in the mid 90's - the peak of Friends - and the host asking Mathew Perry in what ways he was like Chandler.I was always told I was like chandler but I was like "could I be any less like chandler" Lolz
wish it had cost that 4 years ago when i bought them allI don't mind it tbh, fills a gap when there's nothing on...
Oh anyone that really likes it, seen it today in zavvi £50 for the lot...
I like Friends - it's a bit light-weight but the chemistry between the cast was great and it managed to be consistently funny for a lot longer than most shows ever do.Friends was excellent. David Schwimmer was by far and away the best comedic talent on that. The stuff with the luminous teeth, the leather trousers, etc.
If Friends was not the global smash hit it was, loads of the snobs who slag it off would say they loved it.
Also The IT crowd is the worst thing i've seen in years. And 'Allo 'Allo is the worst thing ever.
I only saw a few of the IT crowd. Maybe i'l give it another go (I doubt it though).The IT Crowd took a long time to grow on me, thought it was crap the first time I watched it.
'Allo 'Allo isn't my cup of tea at all, but it's an acknowledged classic. Along with shows like Are You Being Served etc. etc.

As for 'Allo 'Allo, I know it's regarded as a classic but I really can't see why. I love things like Dad's Army, Steptoe and Son, Rising Damp, In Sickness and in Health, Open all Hours, Porridge and I can even chuckle at Are you being served. But 'Allo 'Allo has always bugged the crap out of me. It's the same joke every episode.
And don't get me started on Last of the Summer Wine. How that piece of shit has been going for about 40 years staggers me.
Here's where you highlighted your intense Homoness.Friends is ace, but the earlies episodes were the quality ones.
Don't worry, it never even came to mind when I was scouring my memory for British comedies... I don't even know why it ever existed, it had no purpose at all.I only saw a few of the IT crowd. Maybe i'l give it another go (I doubt it though).

Rachel and JoeyWho was your fav character in Friends?
I honestly think Phoebe is the most irritating character ever written.One of the best TV shows ever made, I just love it.
Phoebe Buffay rules
Agree with this. It's lack of popularity surprises me, since it was obviously very, very successful. It has possibly become uncool to like it. I also think E4 has a lot to answer for as everyone is sick of it being on that channel 24/7, it's ridiculous.Friends was excellent.

I agree. I got series 1-4 on DVD but sometimes catch it just to see a good Ross bitAgree with this. It's lack of popularity surprises me, since it was obviously very, very successful.

Schwimmer/Ross came good from around series 5-6 onwards, he wasn't the best before that. The story goes that he was fed up with Ross' character and wanted out, so they changed him massively - all after his "rage" problems. Watch episodes before this and he's just a boring geek, not that funny at all. Matthew Perry was consistently good, whilst Matt Le Blanc's character also became more and more stupid as it went on, although it was pretty funny.
Friends is right up there in my opinion, even if it is a bit cheesey American.
