Ehh, I guess I could understand. I just kinda find them all to be likable actually but to each his own

Indeed.

I agree with this. I cant really see why you wouldnt like it but each to their own. I've found that Friends is a pretty likeable show though, just in general. I personally love it, but I dont usually meet people who can find something negative about every character. Its quite a skill you've got there Dali

I'm happy you didnt have anything bad to say about Chandler, as Chandler is the man

Its unusual really. Basically everyone I know loves Friends. Its just the general good vibes around Friends, everybody likes it and everybody likes someone different. Dali just... dares to be different, I guess.

I have this one friend who doesn't like it and well.. he can go fuck himself, lol

I'm a people critic. Even moreso than a music critic or an art critic or an ideals critic or a philosophy critic or a politics critic. I just seem to have more of an interest in having people and their behaviors under a microscope than anything else. I guess a lot could be said about that, in context with distracting myself from my own flaws, but I'm the harshest critic of myself and to me, it's healthy.

It's just easier to say something about fictional characters like the ones in Friends because they're fictional and won't hurt anyone in particular, but they're also representations of the people who identify with them on certain levels and I think that speaks more to my interest than sitting around idly and watching someone else live their fake lives.

The only person who I know that doesnt like it is my mum. And I dont really think thats counts, seeing as her idea of a good tv show is Coronation St and 24

You put much more thought into this that I do. When I watch Friends I just watch it, I dont really analyze. But thats not the point.

It is healthy, and I see where your coming from. I'm a bit of a critic myself, but of more superficial things, not really judgement of character. Im far too lazy for that. I'm interested in your philosophy critisism though. I took a course in it not to long ago and I'd like to hear your opinion on the whole matter, if thats okay?
