Any fans? Anyone with opinions? I truly used to dislike the show and fought with people on either IMDb.com (everyone fights over there) or Ultimate Disney, saying things like the characters are idiots. Well, they are. And that's supposed to be the humor of it. This really, was back when I didn't get Seinfeld. And even though Friends isn't perfect, I still have to say I was pleasently surprised to find that much of the humor comes from how "neurotic" (although, I've discovered people don't use that word in psychology anymore) or outright idiotic the characters are. Sometimes, it feels like the show is taking their lives seriously. But they make such fools out of themselves constantly. Another note of interest, hit British sitcom Absolutely Fabulous's Jennifer Saunders had a role in a couple episodes. I was just searching YouTube for any clips and... they really had a thing for that show. June Whitfield, who plays the mother to Saunders' character "Edina Monsoon" on the show actually turns up in a cameo as "the housekeeper" :

Friends is, and will forever be, my favorite show, merely because watching it is so comforting. I would rank the characters, from favorite to least favorite, as: Phoebe Chandler Monica Rachel Ross Joey Season Three and Season Six are my favorite seasons, as well.

I love Courtney Cox, but she is a lucky BITCH to get Chandler. Of course, I can't tell you why- but Matthew Perry steams up my windows. He's not really funny - that funny. Maybe a bit overrated in comic arenas, but he's irresistable to me.

He can get annoying at times.
I'm straight, so I can't fairly judge, but I was always annoyed at the ugly jokes they made at him. He's not ugly!

What's not to love about Friends?! I do really like it, but I don't think it's up there with my favourites mainly because I don't think it's deep enough really. There's just not a lot of substance to it.
Sure there are sad moments and it can be dramatic and they have serious storylines, but they always seem to be played down with the comedy. Not that that is a bad thing but it just means it doesn't pull at emotions as much as other shows do.
My favourite has always been, and always will be, Chandler. The guy is just too funny. Although he gets less funny after he marries Monica. Phoebe really does crack me up but the 'ditzy' thing starts to grow thin pretty quickly.
I think my favourite episode ever is The One With Chandler in a Box. It never ceases to make me laugh and the fact it has Michael Vartan in it really is just an added bonus. Honourable runners up in my favourites are The One with Unagi (Ross' scream!) and The One Where They're Up All Night.

Ohh.. Friends.. can't tell you how much I used to spend watching this series whether it's me alone at home, or having a sleep over lol. This show is hilarious, I don't get Seinfield either; but Friends is amazing. My favorite character will always be Chandler Bing he is just awesome, I know he is not ugly or look gay as the matter of fact, but he still get teased. He is far better looking than Joey; he is annoying at times. Phoebe is my fav female character, tied with Rachel Green <3

I love Friends, grew up with it. Phoebe has always been my favorite. She is just so amazingly eccentric. I definitely think it was one of the best written shows of all time.

I love Friends also and I don't get Seinfield either. ;D
The show is like comfort food to me...if I'm ever having a bad day I can just pop in an episode and it's like I'm the 7th "friend".
What I've always liked about the writing is that there are some jokes that have ran over all 10 seasons of the show...they are like inside jokes that friends really have and it's like the regular fans get to be in on them as well.
My favorite episodes tend to be the ones where it's just the six of them together for most of the episode...any of the Thanksgiving episodes...the one where they win the lottery
As for characters I can't really pick one favorite but I agree about Chandler/Matthew being a hottie!

I love Friends. One of my all time fave shows. It's one of those shows i can watch over and over and not get tired of it. I agree that Matthew Perry is nice looking but Monica is my fave character.
