Do you prefer "Friends" or "The Big Bang Theory"?

[ArgyESC]

I love both of them but I prefer "Friends" because the protagonists seem to be closer to each other and the series also has some emotional moments, while "The Big Bang Theory" is sometimes "too funny", to the point where it gets ridiculous.

[Jason.]

Friends > BBT

I like both though.

I don't like him either, he is so annoying and the only character in the series that I don't find funny.

[Livia]

Like them both equally.

[Natalie.]

Love them both but I prefer Friends

I enjoy TBBT a lot but Friends wins easily.

[Crimson Dynamo]

is this even a question?

lol

[andybigbro]

Friends by a long shot

[Ross.]

Friends always

[Jamie89]

I like TBBT but Friends wins and it's not even close

[Alf]

The only US sitcoms I like are

Cheers, Malcom in the Middle and Third Rock from the Sun and of course Simpsons and Family Guy.


Friends is awful, I get why it's liked, but don't buy it myself.

[GiRTh]

Dont rate either.

[Shaun]

Friends because I'm not an awful human being

I've been a huge fan of Friends since 2001 when I was 6 years old. I must've watched every episode maybe twice through the re-runs and me and my friends used to quote it all the time. I do love TBBT though, and I guess it's a modern day Friends, if you ask this question to a younger generation who didn't grow up with Friends, you would probably get a different result. But Friends was the first of it's kind, so it has to lead in that respect.

Friends wins by Default since BBT is ****ing WOEFUL.

[_Tom_]

Both awful and unfunny.

[Firewire]

yaaaaas

It SUCKS.

[Jake.]

friends, BBT isn't even remotely funny

[AnnieK]

Friends out of those two....but a serious toss up between Friends and Scrubs for me

[Marsh.]

Friends.

Even its worst episodes are watchable and funny.

TBBT was hilarious and quite different when it started. But it's gone beyond unwatchable to me now.

It's gone from having its own niche to trying too hard to be "the new Friends" to the point where it fails at everything. Even the actors seem bored now and they're earning a million dollars a week. Lmao. :laugh:

[Calderyon]

Friends and BBGT were both good at the beginning, but when time passed and the shows grew older, they lowered their quality. Friends was okay at the start, then they heightened their quality and then lowered it somewhat time after time until they were canceled/series ended, but managed to be very funny most of the time.

BBGT was very good/excellent at the start and by season 3-5, it still kept being quite good/okayish, but by the time Amy discovered her sexuality/Howie-Bernie getting serious, it started to go downhill first slowly for a few seasons and then fast tracking and it has gradually stayed on that course, not slowing down ever since.

Answer: Friends is better as it kept much of it´s funniness and quality throughout the years.

[Cal.]

I didn't even know The Big Bang Theory was that big? Especially to be on Friends' level. I know for the last season of Friends the cast were earning a million dollars an episode each so I'm shocked The Big Bang Theory are on the same kind of money.

[armand.kay]

big bang theory is ****!

[reece(:]

Friends

[EspeonBB]

Friends because TBBT is an awful, unfunny mess and I have no idea why it's so popular

Couldn't agree more with this :clap1:

[ArgyESC]

33 posts in my thread, thank you guys, I truly appreciate it :love: :love: :love: :)

I am new to this forum so that's kind of an accomplishment for me :hee:

[-Sue-]

BBT has my vote :)

[Adamw92]

Friends by far but I do like BBT.

[Mystic Mock]

I've not really watched much of Friends, but from what I've seen of it it's a bit average.

And TBBT after the first 3 seasons went really downhill, it should be about the guys being geeky, not about them being ashamed of who they are because the girls are "better" for being "normal" and "hot" according to the programme which is all pretty subjective when you have Amy complaining at Sheldon because he dared to faint at the sight of blood.:umm2:

Or the fact that Sheldon was originally an Asexual character that's now being made to be Heterosexual.:umm2:

So I probably would vote for Friends, although give me Arrested Development, Community, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The IT Crowd, Fawlty Towers, Allo Allo, Malcolm In The Middle, The Middle, and The Goldbergs anyday.

[Calderyon]

The Goldbergs is one of the funniest shows ever, i admit. Swish baby!

[Jessica.]

They are not even comparable. Friends is a great TV show and BBT is not even slightly entertaining.

[Marsh.]

Or the fact that Sheldon was originally an Asexual character that's now being made to be Heterosexual.:umm2:

In episode 1 Sheldon is preparing to donate sperm and Leonard mentions he's a "semi pro" at masturbating. So asexual he was not. :smug:

In my top 5 fave friends scenes. Too funny 8EPkIeafa50

[kirklancaster]

Simply 'No Contest' for me. Friends is one of the most perfect sit-coms ever produced. PERIOD.

[Niamh.]

Friends by miles
