I feel like the later seasons still hold up as almost a modern sitcom whereas the earlier ones feel so steeped in the 90s with the fashion, the humour and the lifestyles

…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…

I agree some of the jokes from friends wouldn't pass today like:

Joey "if homosapians were in fact homo-sapians...is that why they're exctinct?"
Ross stares in disbelief "Joey homosapians are people!"
Joey "hey I don't judge" hahaha this definitely wouldn't fly today. What gets me is the way Matt Leblanc himself couldn't help but snicker a little when he delivered that line

Definitely the friendship is a strength. Like if one of them left not sure it would have worked as well. They all fit perfectly as a unit.

Ah sex and the city...that episode when they were all at Miranda's mum's? Funeral, is when I really realised that one reason I loved this show was because of the love they each had for each other...not because Samantha was moaning every week about gherkins

Trying to think if I've watched any funny new sitcoms lately ...
I haven't but the last sitcom that I thought was perfect is Melissa and Joey

Yeah alot was missing from Joey , I always preferred all 6 of them as a unit aswell.

I think the only spin off concept ...which may have worked, would have been Monica & Chandler living in the countryside ,and us seeing them raise their kids. But I still think it would have needed cameos from the other friends cast members to really make it work.

But that idea definitely would have potential. Obviously sadly that's impossible now anyway as Matthew Perry is no longer with us R.I.P. . But if I'm honest I was always more excited about Monica & Chandler's life and the whole ' next chapter ' ,more so than Rachel & Ross or Phoebe & Mike or Joey for that matter.

It was OK, but that's about it. Nothing I could return to.

Very overatted sitcom. For the easilly pleased.

Father Ted, came out around the same time. Father Ted is far superior to Friends.
