…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

Some of the bloopers are even funnier than the show

…I’ve started to watch Schitt’s Creek again, I’m only on episode 6 of the first season so not really invested in the characters yet but it does tick along very well and short episodes…let me know if you watch, also…

Enjoy the rest

It's on my to watch list for sure which is very very very very long but I'll get there some day

F.R.I.E.N.D.S is a bit of fun (Joey and the Gellers are my favourite characters), but Cheers and Seinfeld are both way better imo.

I did find parts of Mrs Brown's boys funny.

First few episodes in particular

I have a very dry sense of humour. Maybe that's why.

In real life people people often tell me I'm hilarious and have no idea why. I don't intentionally go out to try and be funnu

Friends, although may have had a live audience, engineered the laughing. People sometimes laugh just if others are laughing even if it's not that funny.

The humour in Schitts Creek is different to Friends, also it isn't filmed in front of an audience or have canned laughter

That's one I don't find at all funny

I think you need to catch Livia up

…I think with Friends, a lot of it for me was that thing of seeing something of your own friends in the character traits…and even some of yourself…I mean, I’m that person that would take all of the freebies/those sampler things home from the hotel room in that episode…Im reformed now but when the boys were younger, they loved getting those if they were at home being looked after by grandparents and we’d been away for a little break…I took back whatever I could for them…I stripped those hotel rooms to the bone…

..and I know so many Monica’s…I also know quite a few Rachel’s as well…

It's funny....when I watched it as a kid I thought Rachel was a fun person,then as I got older I actually preferred Monica. And just found Rachel annoying especially both her & Ross lol .

I started watching new episodes with S6. Before that I got into it because the repeats were on every day after another show I watched.

There's probably loads more I haven't thought of, I liked the episodes with Phoebes brother as well, Frank Jnr, he was pretty funny

What's weird is how we don't see Frank Jnr at Phoebe's wedding, I guess the excuse was the blizzard.

Another episode I'm really fond of is when Ross is trying to get everyone to hurry up and get ready ,when he's doing a important speech/ event or something. And Chandler & Joey are fighting over the chair like little kids .

Another reason I really like this episode....is because it was when I discovered friends ,and it was the first episode I saw lol .

[GoldHeart]

I have a few favourite episodes.

One of my favourite's is when Joey outsmarts Phoebe, with the whole " no selfless deed " situation. When he did that telethon,and Phoebe let a bee sting her .

It was sad of course,but I still enjoy watching friends...as it's nostalgic & funny . And there's a few famous faces in different TV shows & movies ...who have passed ,but by watching these things...I guess it's keeping their memories alive.

When Robin Williams died for e.g ,all I wanted to do was rewatch Mrs Doubfire & Jumanji .

Tbh sometimes I feel that way aswell, like when Patrick Swayze passed. But Dirty Dancing & Ghost are some of my favourite movies, Ghost now has that added poignancy though.
