Friends. Sure, many of the jokes haven't aged well, and the laugh track can be a bit too much for modern audiences, but it became an icon of its generation for a reason. I get that some people may not vibe with it, but it's nowhere near as bad as the mainstream Lemmy makes it out to be.

On that note, I really miss that kind of "wholesome" sitcom. It feels like newer sitcoms are all about cringe or the ridiculous lives of shitty people. While Friends' cast may not have been paragons of humanity, they were, or at least so in the first half of the show, good, regular people. I miss that in TV.

I have hated friends since it was in TV, and I don't like everyone jumping on the bandwagon. You shouldn't be allowed to take off that uniform. If you liked friends back then, you can't talk shit on it now. Same with Nickelback. I hate them when everyone loved them, and now everyone wants to pretend they don't like them? Get outta here. /rant

Friends is hated? If anything that show is beloved.

I know! But Lemmy/R***it seem to have some irrational hate for it.

i think the hate goes to the lack of POCs in a place like NYC, i think thats the only criticism that was remarkable.
