Do you still watch Friends on E4?

I'd say Chandler closely followed by Ross have been the funniest throughout. Rachel and Monica are the least funny and most 1 dimensional with Phoebe and Joey somewhere in the middle...
 
Same with SATC, I ended up disliking Carrie deeply.

I always hated Carrie. When I was younger I liked Sam best and thought Miranda was deeply annoying. But now if I had to get stuck in a lift with one of them I'd choose her.

In Friends I hated how Ross and Monica changed so completely from season 5 onward. Before that they were the coolest characters, but then they became intensely annoying. Rachel was just bland, I always felt that outside of being Ross's love interest she had no place in the group.
 
A years or so ago I saw the last ever episode (which I didn't see at the time) so was satisfied I had finished with Friends foreverr. Then the next day the first fucking episode (which I didn't see at the time) was on. It's an ever decreasing circle and has to end one day.
 
My favourite episode was the one where Phoebe finds out about Chandler and Monica

It's good to dip into it now and then but it's not a "must watch" programme for me
 
My housemate (male) honestly believes that Sex And The City is intended as a girls' guide to how NOT to behave.

It makes a lot more sense when you watch it with that in mind. Carrie is a PSYCHO.

She is an embarassing knob in the beginning ones with Big, all weird and overreacting.
 
Maybe it's just me, but Big seems to act perfectly normally and Carrie behaves like an utter bunny-boiler throughout. Even in the film. 'You're having second thoughts? Well let me TOTALLY CONFIRM THEM FOR YOU BY TURNING INTO A SHRIEKING, FREAKING HALFWIT!'

Said housemate thinks they should be issued as public information videos to women who think their boyfriends are having trouble committing. 'Your boyfriend used to go out with a girl who behaves like this. Now you can see why he's scared.'
Heh.
 
It is a great and entirely worthwhile achievement to be fair.

Spare a thought for the poor folk at charity shops as well, destined to mark and work through piles of Friends box sets for years to come

In one charity shop I worked in we were given a giant sack of Friends videos and as we couldn't sell them we offered a set for free to anyone who spent more than a tenner. But even for free nobody wanted them.:(
 
yep we've got a big pile of them in our shop. Not as big as the piles of Full Monty and Bridget Jones though, they seem to be the most popular ones to chuck out.

Every charity shop I ever go into always has a fair few Friends DVDs or videos. They should do a TV appeal really, encouraging us to help out the poor people who have to spend their working hours surrounded by such utter shite.
 
Cor blimey, there was one on tonight that I genuinely hadn't seen before :eek:

or at least, maybe I'd only seen half of it :hmm:


The characters do really change and become more caricatured - not a good thing for Chandler and Monica, but Ross and Rachel become much funnier when it's less about the will-they-won't-they thing. "Mental Geller" Ross is much funnier.
 
It's great for watching on a plane, where you're too uncomfortable to concentrate on a new film, and the warm familiarity helps you cope with the 8 miles of air underneath you.
 
It was moderately amusing once but it's dated horrendously and now just appears extra smug and extra shit.
