I've tried and tried but I don't find *****ts Creek the least bit funny.

I dont understand how anyone can watch American idol type shows. It's just people singing cover songs for 10% of the show...and the other 90% framing that performance.

Any of the "reality competition" shows.

American Idol
The Voice
America's Got Talent
The Bachelor/Bachelorette
Big Brother
Survivor

How any of this crap has been popular for decades is mind-boggling to me. It's all sh*t.

I don't spend a lot of time thinking about shows i dont watch.

Mr robot

Any CSI show.
Big Bang Theory

most of America is dumb. We are not far from idiocracy and "ow my balls"

The big 4 networks are the worst, and their programming is tailored to Low iq people. It's not hard to pacify morons through television shows.

Survivor is great, and I will not hear otherwise.

Altered Carbon

Powered through like 4 episodes over a few months hoping it would get good. Never did.

Mad Men. I've tried twice and gave up during the first season both times. Firefly is another. It's a decent little sci-fi show, but I don't understand why it's considered great.

Seinfeld was really funny.

Friends was not.

All the "reality" shows where they do retakes and have a script.

Watched Serenity yesterday. No idea weather MM was real or a player in his son's imaginary fishing game.

You saw the wrong Serenity

Same. The little I watched was utterly terrible. I mean BAD.

How I Met Your Mother is another one. So trite, lazy, and condescending. It's "Big Bang" level bad.

Seinfield

Breaking Bad

Now you've gone and done it.

Mad Men.
I watched the first 8 episodes. Boring as hell. Nothing happened.

The wife and I had the opposite take. We watched all ten seasons of Friends this year on Netflix and enjoyed it for the most part. 90's nostalgia I guess.

We then tried to do the same with Seinfeld and couldn't get in to it.

Some of these are... interesting.

When, exactly, do you think Seinfeld originally aired?

Seinfeld began 30yrs ago and ended over 20yrs ago.
Friends began 25 yrs ago and ended 15 yrs ago.
It makes sense that a random viewing of an episode of friends from 2002 might feel like it "holds up" better than a random seinfeld from 1992. Bush2 feels a lot closer than Bush1 (even though I would primarily associate both with clinton era).

---

All I'm saying is that using "90's nostalgia" as a reason for enjoying Friends more than Seinfeld doesn't make a lick of sense.
I enjoyed both shows in their heyday (well I didn't watch Friends much after about '97/'98) so I don't really have a dog in this fight. Just seemed like a strange qualifier to me.

*****ts creek is funny, I am not sure what you are wanting if you don't find it funny.

Seinfeld is great too. So many bits that became common vernacular in pop culture, even today.

Never cared for friends. The humor was more juvenile.

How I met your mother has a lot of clever bits. Especially in the first 3-4 seasons. Every week was a new bit. After that it felt more repetitive and less original.

I think it's strange you're that interested in dissecting my post on a very random and meaningless topic. But if I must, it's because my wife and I can directly relate to being in our mid/late 20's, college, adapting to actually having to be an adult, careers, dating, being engaged, getting married, having babies, etc,. And in that same time era (or close enough - we graduated in 97, met that same year, married in 2000, first kid in 2005). So in that regard it's gives us some sense of nostalgia to the time period.

Seinfeld has literally nothing relatable for us. So no nostalgia factor. No connection.

Anyway, who cares?

What I got from Friends was the chance to see Jennifer Aniston's protruding nipples.
