Was Friends a great sitcom?

[jsarno]

LOVED friends. My wife and I started watching it back when it came out when we were dating. We have (no kidding) never missed an episode. It was our little thing to sit down on thursdays and not answer the phone or anything, just watch TV when firends was on. Like Skinsfanthru&thru pointed to, I grew up with them. Both me and my wife are 30, and we totally related to them and their struggles at times. They were the sitcom for our generation. Even when we didn't relate, it was fun watching them age and grow.
That guy doesn't know what he's talking about on ESPN. I knew more guys that watched it than girls. The OC on the other hand is a stupid bitch fest about issues that only teenagers care about. Hmmmm, sounds like a girly show to me, but I'm sure guys watch that too. The cast of Friends got more money per episode than any other sitcom, and they were loved across the nation. That's what makes you a great sitcom...they are truely a top 3 all time sitcom.

ps- Frasier is another great sitcom going off the air. Kelsey Grammer has been Dr. Frasier Crane for 22 years...that in itself is out freakin standing. Two all time great shows are going off the air in back to back weeks. It's a sad time for television.
