You cannot deny that Friends is perhaps the most iconic TV show of all time. ...
Why not, Mick? I can and I do.

I never really got into Friends. I think I enjoy Friends memes than I do the original show.

The best part about friends was Courtney Cox. Other than that and the song smelly cat, I didn’t really care for it. My other family members liked it, so I’d end up watching it.

“Friends—“ the most iconic television show of all time? Not Milton Berle, “I Love Lucy,” “Get Smart,” “ Star Trek,” “Gunsmoke,” SNL, The Tonight Show, “MASH,” “Cheers,” or a host of others? A very limited, millennial perspective.

Unwatchable drek about the type of people I’ve made it my life’s mission to avoid.

Of course it sucked. It was bland comfort TV designed to go down easy and not cause a commotion. Goodness or badness don't really come into it.

Let me put in a good word, though, for Mad About You, another Seinfeld era NYC sitcom that I sort of liked back in the day.

IIRC, Seinfeld anchored the Thursday night line up. Everyone watched Seinfeld, by far more iconic than Friends, and kept the TV on to watch the rest. I forget if Friends was before or after Seinfeld.

I was briefly attracted to the show for the same reason as most other males: Jennifer Aniston was hot. I was repulsed from the show for the same reason as most other males: Jennifer Aniston was a knucklehead.

Some things never change...

Oh for Pete’s sake. Friends is now going to be analyzed by an intellectually superior critic? Friends was funny, sometimes hilarious. It wasn’t the best evahh, but it was perfect for the time. I didn’t love it, but I liked it. I don’t care much for retrospective critics.

Seinfeld was better and most consider it better.

I’m pleased to say that I never watched a single episode of Friends. Sitcoms as a genre are not my thing, but Friends seemed pointless to me. Shrug.

I guess my life has been meaningless, since I never bothered to watch it.

Believe it or not - I never watched it.
I was extremely busy that decade.

Like most 3 camera sit-coms, it was about the facial reactions to others’ dialog. I loved it and still enjoy the re-runs.

'Friends' was a show about whiny, sniveling soy boys and idiot girls set in a ridiculously white and clean New York City, as though funded by a gay tourism board.

The Simpsons is more iconic than Friends ever dreamed of being.
