Is there a worst television program than Friends? Sitting on another 8 hour flight with nothing to watch, I fell into the trap which is Ross and Rachel. It is amazing this show lasted so long as it was not funny or clever, interesting or entertaining.

I know there are people out there (you know who you are) who find comfort in the concept but take a step back and you will realize that there were too many characters, not enough story-line and almost no real yuks. How this show followed Seinfeld in the best piece of broadcast real-estate is an insult. I cannot ever remember anybody ever telling a great story and it being related to Friends.
Take the characters
Jennifer Anniston and Courtney Cox are too similar and neither has anything close to the ability to carry a scene or a moment, well that is unless you eliminate the way they were both able to nip their way into every boys dreams. They got too successful and too happy to ever be realistic

The three dudes are badly written and limited as actors, especially the Mathew Perry character who became completely expendable and I believe the creators only kept his character around cause they already paid for the buffet.

The blond chick was a mistake from the beginning, never added anything to the dynamic and unlike the other two broads weren't even good looking.

The settings were boring, the story lines tired and the laughs limited.

TOR gives this show: two nips out.
