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

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.

Lol, I don't think you'll be ostracized for that opinion (as wrong as it is ) 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.

Same, I wasn't into it as much as other shows, but I watch it when it was on TV. There are other citcoms I like much more... like Home Improvement, Boy Meets World, Saved By The Bell ...
