Well... typical of the sitcoms, script writers running out of ideas, and actors running out of acting ideas. Friends is getting boring.
Here is why I don’t like Friends....
Friends is style over substance. One canned formulaic joke after another. It’s a ’Hey, how you doin, here, six cappuccinos and a loosely woven relationship’ plot rolled into a 30-minute episode. From day one, it’s been filled with gimmicks from Ross Geller’s monkey to Rachel Green’s hair. The show’s trademark story: Ross and Rachel. They are having a baby together. They fight mercilessly and constantly are annoyed with one another. Now Joey, another one of the friends, wants to date Rachel. I don’t need to tune in and see six characters dating each other and swapping partners each season in the ’’Friends’’ relationship circus. Perhaps I am alone in my distaste for ’’Friends.’’ But I doubt it.
The feelings of enjoyment just aren’t there for me, like when I used to watch shows like ’’Cheers’’, today when watching ’’Simpsons’’ or ’’Frasier’’.
Still, nothing compares to ’’Seinfeld.’’ Reruns of ’’Seinfeld’’ make me long for new episodes.
