Have you watched Friends beyond s6/7 :/ she seriously becomes the most annoying character by miles. She starts off like a really kooky hippy, and ends up a self-centred bitch.

Not as great, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Friends went through the same thing as most other sitcoms, where the characters slowly become exaggerated versions of themselves as the writes forget that there used to be more to their characters than one or two quirks and they struggle to keep telling jokes after ten years. Friends was never all that great to begin with, though. Comforting, maybe, in an "I know these characters and enjoy spending time with them" kind of way, but never particularly funny.

Ellmeister Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Friends was/still is great. One of few shows I can simply watch again and again. So many classic episodes (mainly from the first few series). Even though the end you could tell it wasn't what it was I wouldn't say there was a bad episode.

Murr Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Had to be done. My girlfriend ordered that box set from Play.com last year for her sister for Christmas..... Play.com sent her two box sets and only charged her for the one, so we also have that box set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Friends was never great... Oh but it was. It was hilarious. But like with so many popular things, it became a big trend among the cool kids to claim it sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightwolf Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I bought that Friends box set last year, great price and it's about the most complete set you can get. Lasted many months of laughs, now moved on to Frasier For 12, thank god! I think I'd get a bus pass if it was £115 for 6. Mine is the same, thankfully! With £500 for insurance to boot, although that's quite good given it's my name, fully comp and 3 years no claims, whee. Anyway went to trafford centre: New hat! http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/hats-gloves-and-scarves/cable-knitted-oversized-hat_226089403 Just so I have something to wear monday and some new slippers from accessorize that were £20.

Murr Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 £50 for the above, the seller wanted £60 with the games, but I'm not fussed about them, so offered £44 for the consoles and mentioned I don't want the games and he accepted, £6 postage... so 2 smart GBA's for £50. And I wonder why I'm always broke heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightwolf Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Silly bugger, they go for way less than that! I'd have sold mine a while back, but the battery on the back keeps falling out etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I have the black one... you racist buggers. I had that one too but fancy the extra minute per episode. I bought that Friends box set last year, great price and it's about the most complete set you can get. Lasted many months of laughs, now moved on to Frasier Yeah, doesn't matter how many times I watch an episode, I still laugh at the same jokes. Pff Phoebe is the only good thing in Friends :p But the Frasier boxset is made of pure awesomeness. Phoebe got very boring, her quirky nature was a breath of fresh air to begin with but when they started basing entire episodes around her craziness it got too much. I struggle to sit through one episode of Kelsey grammar without falling asleep. Have you watched Friends beyond s6/7 :/ she seriously becomes the most annoying character by miles. She starts off like a really kooky hippy, and ends up a self-centred bitch. That could be said for the show itself, the quality of the earlier seasons (up to 4) were never really bettered, although thankfully 10 was a great return to form. Friends was/still is great. One of few shows I can simply watch again and again. So many classic episodes (mainly from the first few series). Even though the end you could tell it wasn't what it was I wouldn't say there was a bad episode. Agreed. Friends was never great... I'll let this slide as you've suffered enough over the past few days Oh but it was. It was hilarious. But like with so many popular things, it became a big trend among the cool kids to claim it sucked. I think the fact it still stands up very well today is a testament to how good the show was. Nothing has come close to bettering it in it's format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I like how you can tell who's cool or not based on their opinion on Friends. And I totally want those two GBAs so I can finally play Four Swords Adventures in co-op. I wish I were as rich as Murr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happenstance Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Let us know what you think of it. Apparently the PC version has some pretty big problems compared to the 360 one. Steam are even allowed to give out refunds to people who bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
