Was Friends the Greatest Sitcom of all time?
 
I Personally think it is. It's the only Show where i can rewatch episodes countless times and never get bored.

Yeah, pretty much agree. I love Friends and weirdly loads of things that happen in my life I can refer back to episodes

Glad you agree. It's just a Timeless Classic.

A very unpopular opinion that I'm very aware could lead to me getting ostracised and leaving the forum hanging my head in shame on only the second day, but I've never "got" Friends. I just don't really see the appeal, apart from the odd line here and there. I've seen a lot of the episodes due to an obsession with it in my household but I think I've only ever laughed a few times.

I am totally in love with Joey though, I'll give them that.

RileyH 14-05-2018 07:45 PM

Haven't seen it tbh

My friend says it's good tho

Lol, I don't think you'll be ostracized for that opinion (as wrong as it is :laugh:) one of my friends feels the same way and despite me trying to educate her in the delicate intricacies of it, she's like nope just don't get the attraction so you are not alone.

It's the British sitcoms I love. We don't get it right often, but when we do, they're timeless.

Alf 14-05-2018 08:14 PM

No, it wasn't!

What other Sitcoms were better in your Opinion, Alf?

I dont even think its the best sitcoms of the 90's.

The first three series were good, series four it was already dipping. From series five to the point where Chandler and Monica get married I think there are some episodes that are almost unwatchable for me. Its too much comedy and not enough quality control - It like say a funny line then pull a funny face then do a funny walk - and I barely crack a smile during those episode. It did pick up and I think it ended strong but the unwatchable episodes kill this argument, for me.

Tom4784 14-05-2018 08:21 PM

It's ****.

American sitcoms in the 90's alone - Seinfeld, Larry Sanders Show, Frasier and even though I was not much of a fan I think Roseanne was also better.
