Friends or Seinfeld?

I liked both.

Both shows had its moments.

Both I thought were good in the beginning. But as it dragged on it got stupid.

Kramer antics seemed to be repetitive on Seinfeld. Joey seems to get dumber each season.
 
I thought the writing on Seinfeld was much better than Friends, but hot Jennifer had me watching Friends.
 
I've seen every episode of Seinfeld, yet haven't been able to sit through an episode of Friends. The Sein wins.
 
I couldn't stand Seinfeld himself... that was kind of a dealbreaker. Plus that inter-scene jingle every 23 seconds drove me up the wall.
 
Loved/love Seinfeld.

Friends was annoying. Not only were many of the characters annoying (*cough* Phoebe, Chandler, Monica...oh wait, that's the whole cast), but I want to shoot someone whenever I hear the theme song. That is THE most annoying/whiney song ever used by a TV show. It pisses me off that the crappy band got royalties for so long.

I don't know why people keep making these "Friends vs. Seinfeld" threads when Seinfeld trounces Friends each time, and rightfully so. Seinfeld is one of the funniest, wittiest and most culturally assimilated sitcoms in TV history... Friends is about a bunch of 20-somethings sitting on a couch at a cafe trying to look pretty while sleeping with each other and getting into ridiculous situations that contain little to no humor, but hey, at least they're pretty.

good post. as outlandish as Seinfeld could be concerning the situations they would get themselves into, I was never sympatheitc in any degree towards the "problems" that the Friends characters found themselves in on a routine basis. Why? Because the issues addressed in that show were completely irrelevent to any real life person. I watched it for a season, then realized that the nice racks on Cox and Aniston did not justify another season of my time.

Seinfeld was the anti-sitcom and revolutionized the way TV shows are written.

As the show got more mature, I came to feel that George and his parents were the backbone of that show. ...kind of how the Simpsons went from a Bart-based show in its early days to Homer domintating its golden years.

Adding Jerry Stiller was the most brilliant casting move that the producers ever made.

Hell, I even liked Putty and J Peterman more than Kramer by the end. Strangely...Jerry seemed to be the weakest character overall, IMO.
