I had no idea I did either til I just randomly came across it on tvlinks. Fantastic little show that just didn't go on for long enough as well. I love that psychotic freelance photographer the magazine kept using - really fun character.

Compared to Everybody Loves Raymond and King Of Queens, which along with My Family and Two Pints this side of the Atlantic are the most painfully unfunny shows I've ever watched, Friends is Citizen...if Citizen Kane ran for 10 seasons and starred Jennifer Aniston...

But really though, I completely agree. I get the criticism of Friends, even agree with it to varying degrees in places, but I still love the show all the same. A guilty pleasure, I guess you could call it.
