As one that remembers watching NBC “Must See TV” Thursday nights in the 90’s, back then, Friends was more approachable as a twenty-something that identified somewhat with the idea that it’s ok to be quirky, laughable, and fun.
Now, I prefer Seinfeld. Say what you will about the cast, the show’s darker take wears better on the post 9/11 world.
It’s easy to pick on one or the other now, but having lived the era, and the era of TV that led to it, both shows made more sense back then.
