"That's why I ALWAYS have hated Friends: non-stop sexual banter."
Though I always enjoyed Seinfeld, both Jerry and George were boffing a different attractive woman every week, and telling nonstop lies to boot.
Al though Seinfeld certainly dealt with sexual content at times, it was by no means non-stop. And, their stuff was clever.
True, but one HUGE difference between Seinfeld and Friends is that Seinfeld was actually FUNNY.
The times I was pretty much forced to watch Friends, I found very little of it, if any at all, to be the least bit humorous. The whole ridiculous premise of a group of six loafing, jobless Generation Xers was accentuated by the world's most annoying theme song. One note and it's stuck in your head for hours. Even discussing it is making me try in vain to purge it from my thoughts!
I've never been able to figure out the draw of that show. Schwimmer's whining, LeBlanc's inane, stupid wisecracks and the other guy's general stupidity completely cancelled out the fact that the women are fairly attractive and thereby, somewhat entertaining.
Also, Seinfeld was just so completely unreal in its context, whereas Friends actually made an attempt at presenting a sense of reality in the sexual exploits.
The sad thing is that Friends ends up on just about everyone's list of "Greatest SITCOMs of All Time". How, I'll never know....
