Yet by that right anything that is popular is therefore good and anybody who doesn't like something that is popular is lacking. I'm afraid I don't agree with that.

I'm aware of the fact that there jokes in Friends because there was a laugh track thrown in there so I could count them if I wanted to, but they weren't funny. I'm also aware that comedies don't necessarily have to be terribly funny if you have an interest in the characters to an extent that you enjoy watching the programme, as is the case with Frasier sometimes. Perhaps I was a bit overboard to say I don't see why people like it if what I said above is true. However, I won't budge from saying that it's not funny.
