I like Friends. I realize it is fluff and popcorn, but in the end it was very well done. I recently watched it all through, and I still like it.
Emma thing was just too far fetched, and the show jumped the shark's fin there. I still like the last seasons.

Aaron, one thing - trust me, first two seasons are NOWHERE as good and funny as, say, seasons 4-7. Although seasons 3 and 8 are quite good, too.

And as to my currently favourite quote, it comes from the mouth of my fave character:

Joey: You didn't cry when Bambi's mom died?
Chandler: Yes, it was so sad when the guy stopped drawing the deer.

Really, David Schwimmer was fantastic as well.

She was good in the otherwise shite Wonderland too. Without her makeup she old!

She was good in 'The Opposite of Sex'. Played a completely different character to Phoebe.

And 'Romany and Michelle's High School Reunion', although I'm not going to admit to seeing that.

Friends is awesome (I may have said that before in this thread), it's characters and comedy got me through some tough times. Most people who go on about hating it in my experience are just doing it because it's 'cool' to be a bit alternative and knock a mainstream show.

Oh yes, Chandler is you in that episode, Aaron!

Never cries at films/TV. Cold hard soul. Etc.

Am I missing something here? Oh no - of course it's Friends!

Do you not get the joke?

I like this, I don't like that! Who gives a shit. The pub's open.

It's a joke?

Maybe you had to be there.

It's not a real deer David.

Chandler doesn't understand why people cry at the cartoon Bambi?

Because it's a drawing?

And that is supposed to be funny?

Yes it is.

I never thought I'd meet someone not clever enough to enjoy the jokes on Friends...

To each his own.

I don't find falling through open bar flap remotely funny. But people keep calling it a classic moment.
