    Friends has to be the most overrated TV show of all time. I feel like an insane person whenever I hear people saying that it’s a funny show.

      I dont k ow if you watched it when it was new, but today it’s not very funny. In the 90s, it was funny, but comedy has changed a lot since then, and some of the show is not very “woke” if you will excuse the term.

      I think there are still funny and quotable moments but i dont think any of it would resonate with a younger audience. Comedy today is so much better and different to then. And a lot of shows that have come along since friends have used plots and jokes from the show and done them to death so it seems unoriginal and derivative.

      I think this is all true of a lot of old shows. Tv is just a different beast now.

        I watched it when it was new. It has never been funny.

        Seinfeld existed at the same time just to give some perspective.

        Frasier as well.

          Yeah, i didn’t really like Seinfeld. I liked Fraiser, but preferred friends. At the time. I think Fraiser aged better though.
