Friends is now on Netflix streaming

Oh god, nothing is worse than big bang theory.

Two and a Half Men makes Big Bang Theory look like a Scorsese film.

Before or after Ashton? If I was being forced to pick an episode to watch between Big bang and two and a half men, I'd choose two and a half men with Sheen. I'd choose Big bang over ashton though. Both are bad, very true.

thought it had been there for a while now.

I watched the first two seasons b/c of the Cox/Aniston funbag duo, then even that got old.

Show was terrible beyond that.

I was thinking you were way off and had to google it...1994-2004. Much closer than I thought. Ended the same year as Frasier.

RIP sitcoms. ?-2004.

yeah, had to be 94ish. Most of my High School days...which was the appropriate age to watch something only for clothed boobies. ...the internet was barely around in those days, you see.

i bet all you playaz like big bang theory too. this shit makes my soul bleed.

I can't get into this show. Modern Family on the other hand, love the writing.

Every tech or science field person I know loves this show. Have you given enough chance? It's probably one of the better shows on TV or they are all so bad this is the least worst.

I don't get why people hate on BBT so much, it's better than 90% of the standard sitcoms out there. I see a lot of nerd rage over it.

It's because it is an awful, painfully unfunny program. That's probably why people hate on it.

Unfort Fargo Series has been removed, three episodes in...

 

[dainthomas]

Meh. Call me when Northern Exposure is on there. I'll take a week off to watch all those back to back.

right, but it's still better than 90% of the sitcoms on tv right now.

It really isn't good. It's a typical sitcom which uses tired "nerd" stereotypes to appeal to non-nerds.

"LOL. They watch Star Trek."

As is typical for bad sitcoms, it uses a laugh track to cover up the fact that it isn't really funny.

It used to be better. The early seasons of TBBT had a LOT more nerdy references like real science, Picard vs Kirk, the crappiness of console emulators, dual booting Ubuntu, etc. It felt like a show written by nerds.

Then somewhere in the middle it got popular, so they added stable women characters and they cut down on the hardcore nerd references. But hey, it has old Trek actors as guest actors so you could get through it.

Then the last few seasons it got REALLY popular, and became basically a show that allows America to laugh at the social dysfunctions of nerds. Almost any tech or nerd talk is gone outside of the really really mainstream stuff (Starwars, Marvel, etc.) and it pretty much became the nerd equivalent of blackface. Some episode is going to give Sheldon a swirlie and shove him in his locker and the circle will be complete.

It definitely went downhill once it became a show about relationships. I liked it better when Raj couldn't talk to women.

See, this is exactly the kind of nerd rage I'm talking about.

Sitcoms about X use X stereotypes. But we only get into hissy fits when X = nerds.

Nerd RAGE.

OH MY GOD CHANDLER AND MONICA!!!!!

wtf dude. you gotta spoiler that shit, some of us havent seen it yet

 

[Newell Steamer]

I never understood the hate for Friends - the same way I never understood the love for Seinfeld.

Now, I don't hate Seinfeld, but, I can't watch it. And, I don't love Friends, but, I've watched it.

I won't go back to friends, like I would to the Simpsons and Married with Children. But, I won't demand that the person who love this show be skinned alive.

 

[shortylickens]

JOEY AND RACHEL WHAT THE FUCK???!!!!!

 

[KeithTalent]

Pivot!

The best thing about Friends is that it isn't Everybody Loves Raymond.

I actually watched that whole fucking series. Was incredibly bored and didnt feel like seeing another show for the third time.

I think Raymond actually burned off IQ points. I had to read Tolstoy to regain some of them.
