I did a FRIENDS  marathon and finished season 1-10 (every episode) in about three or so weeks. Anyone else still watch that show?

It was funny at the time, but aged rather quickly. I think people in America have become more like Seifeld characters than the people of friends. Kind of like Jay Leno and his "How Dumb are you sketches". America is not really that dumb. We know where the Statue of Liberty is and that Europe is not a country. Same with Friends. They all play dumb and extreme personalitites. Over the top Ditzy Blond girl, Retarded but sweet Hunk guy, Chandler who thought everyone was an idiot all the time by the facial expressions he made, Over the top sister to guys who plays giraffe on " Madagascar", etc, etc. I think Jennifer Aniston was the most normal character there, but despite how normal she was, she worked as a waitress and had some balding Albino checking her out all the time and waited on her friends. Two of them she really waited on!

 

I think think the general public thinks the oppiste of that. At the time it had mixed reviews not people and critics alike think its one of the greatest show ever made. And how extreme the characters were was how it made it so funny. And I'm not sure about the people of America but tv shows use FRIENDS as a template before making a show almost all the time.
