So you keep saying.

One day your opinion will pivot

Is it Schitty?

Schitts Creek is a master piece

It won't.

I don't find it remotely funny.

It took a season and a half for me to get into it but it's better than Friends I swear

I love it so much, when I watched the final episode , I straight after put on S1E1 qnd watched the whole thing again, literally loved every character besides Mutt

:hehe:

Sit coms imo aren't that funny.

It's forced, stupid humour.

Being daft for the sake of being daft. It's immature humour.

Barry Humpries was a master of humour, but then a lot of it probably went over people's heads.

Friends is so unfunny they have to add laughing to it. Lol

Have you watched Scitts Creek though? :hee:

That's just the way they filmed sitcoms in the 90's

Exactly
Not sure why people always get harsh with friends, when personally I never understood the appeal of Seinfeld or everyone loves Raymond . But we all have different tastes I guess :shrug: .

I thought it was 30 years last year :conf:

I was a convert to it. Didn't like what I thought it was like, but when I actually watched it thought it was really well-written and funny.

Better than friends?!? Hmm whenever someone says that my default is to think no, just like I say no when people say Seinfeld is better. I'll give it a watch

Literally had a live audience every week :joker:

I wonder what the emotions are when people watch Friends these days after Matthew Perry passed away ?

Don't like Friends, don't like Schitts Creek, have never watched Gavin and Stacey. I'll get my coat..........

…I’ll give it a watch with you as well, CeeCee….I did watch some of the first season a while ago and I liked it ok…but I didn’t live it and sitcoms are not usually so much my thing…Friends was quite exceptional but maybe it was just more THAT TIME…I think also with Friends, it was that there were so many traits in them that were in my own Friends or myself, you know…similar with Sex in the City and that friendship group that had some relatable things…anyway, it’s nice to have something lighter to tap in and out of as well so I’ll re-try Schitt’s Creek…I love Catherine O’Hara anyway…

…a recent excellent comedy series I’ve watched the first season of…(…because it’s only one season in…)…is Nobody Wants This, I would totally recommend that one…I just couldn’t put it down until I’d watched the season to the end…

As for the " laugh track ", I remember watching a behind the scenes documentary about friends .And they had a real audience...but they would use a quick short taped laugh track for some of the jokes,as the audience laugher was interrupting the actors next lines,which made sense.

…didn’t Cheers and many other huge sit cons have that live audience at that time…?..it was ‘a thing’…but yeah, I can understand how it can irritate as well…like being told when to laugh…come to think, didn’t things like The Lucy Show, back in the day…have that audience/canned laughter, thing….I mean, the audience had probably sat there for around 75 hours so what else could they do but laugh for their release…

Yeah many sitcoms did both live audience & canned laughter for sure .

…I mean, even now…entertainment shows that have a live audience…?…still have the ‘warm up’ people or person, don’t they…that prep them on audience reaction at specific points…I mean we only have to look at BB crowds…and their boooooo sections and cheer sections and which section will be the loudest…etc…

The greatest. The first season takes a while to build but from that it is such an excellent show.

I didn't like Seinfeld
