Or anything else for that matter.

In fact there is no antenna or cable input connected to my TV, just my DVD player.

Nope. It is not part of my thurday night must see entertainement.
Thurday night is volleyball (competitive co-ed sixes league) and then massive amounts of drinking and partying. Besides my friends are much more dramatic (and better actors) than your Friends.




pppppttththhthhthtptrprptttht!
:p




Why is it uncool now? My guess is that the twenty somethings the show original aired for are now in their thirties. Where it looked hip and cool then, now it looks like to the original demographics as tired and unrealistic. Where can you live in spacious apartments and seemingly never have to work or worry aboot money in NY? Which makes their "earth shattering" events seem a whole lot more tired and whiney that it did when it first started. Besides, haven't they gone through every sexual permutation possible already? Nope, that time on Thursday night means there is some daylight still left here now and I'll be outside enjoying it with the warm weather.


And speak of thursday night, [shameless plug] my friends Little Miss Messy will be playing at the Cave in Chapel Hill [/shameless plug] . This is a band with talent and they wouldn't surprise me if they go on to something big.

I don't watch TV. Every time I turn it on, I get depressed.
*click*
"...four people dead in a university shooting rampage today..."
*click*
"...eight car pileup on the 110 South, freeways are jammed to..."
*click*
"...and the Lakers lose game 5 of the series..."

Bah.

I admit I watch it, I love Friends. They remind me alot of my friends, we all act the same basic ways. :p

And the day I worry about someone judging my coolness level based on a tv show I choose to watch, is the day I better wake up back in high school and 16 again. :p

I've never watched Friends in my life. And I dont watch any TV now. Havent in about two years, except for the occassional snippet when I'm eating or something and have nothing else to do, so I just stand there watching whatever is on.

My question is...

How many of you watch friends?
How many of you don't watch freinds?
How many of you deny you watch friends but really do watch it?
Why is watching friends seemingly "uncool" now?

1) i dont watch it.
2) i dont watch it.
3) i dont watch it.
4) its not uncool (cool is what you make of it), but i do think the show is stupid and purile. the jokes arent funny and and the acting and writing is terrible. I don't see why soo many people enjoy watching a show about stupid people drinking coffee.

I used to watch it here and there, but haven't seen it lately. Life went on ok if I missed it.
Wasn't there a similar question about "The Dukes of Hazzard" back when it was on, it being a high rated show but nobody admitted to watching it?
