I would guess I have seen it through maybe 30+ times, either actively or passively. Roughly 60% of my one-liners or inside jokes with (real life) friends come from that show.

Chick show....ex gf loved it. I never really cared for it. Def wanted to bang out Rachel/Aniston though.

But as previously stated....Seinfeld was the best show on TV then.

This show has been recommended by my sister who was then a teenager in 1994 and way back when I was still a toddler. I search for a place to watch it in 2010 and I must say that it is one of the best series that I have seen. I feel like TV series way back then is way better than what we have nowadays.

I think that's what made it so good and unique. No attachment to characters and just random, normal events happening to them that made it so good. The writing was fantastic. Although after awhile, George being a constant downer did get very old.

Show about nothing. A dingo ate your baby.

My favorite comedy from that era was Frasier. I liked it even better than Cheers. David Hyde-Pierce in particular made the show, but the entire cast was awesome.

I saw him live playing Sir Robin in Spamalot on its pre-Broadway run in Chicago. He blew everybody else off the stage.

yep, one year $100 million. And Forbes thinks it may be a good deal. $100 million for one year is now a good deal. :-)

I like FRIENDS. But think it stole some things from Seinfeld.

Never liked whiny Ross. I have never seen someone regress in age in a show.

Best written show for a long time. Written as a play, not a sit com. Hyde-Pierce on Valentines Day when he does not say a word. Comedy Gold. Wife was in labor that day and I still catch hell from the wife for watching it. 20 years later.
Which would have been Feb 11, 1999. Kid was 20 last week.
**** Time flies.

I think you are probably right, 4 in Seinfeld and 6 Friends.

I didn't watch Seinfeld much when it was on the air either but got into it a bit about 6 years ago.

After watching a few episodes of Friends the Mrs. asked me who my favorite character was, expecting it to be Joey.

I pretty much like them all equally.

Zero interest in Frazier to this point, watched a few episodes when it was on.

Used to watch it back when it was originally on in the 90s. Decent show worth some laughs.

I watched it quite a bit, and watch here and there with re-runs.
It used to be really good. but as time went on, they just became caricatures of themselves. Still good for a few laughs for sure, but it sort of got crazy and/or lazy with character development / lack thereof.

having watched as much Friends as I have, makes the episode of IASIP "The Gang Desperately Tries to Win an Award" even more awesome. Brilliant, even.

I havent seen Friends since it was on the air. Watched it regurally. In that era, I liked Seinfeld, the Wonder Years and Star Trek TNG better. About all I ever watched on TV back then. Was really busy.

I've been watching Cheers on Netflix lately, and damn if that show doesn't hold up well. I liked it, but I was a kid... had no idea how good it actually was.

Friends?

Turn in your man card. Now.
