Is also a neat show. Especially early on! It was silly when Joey dated Rachel for serious though.

I actually have every episode on DVD - it's a great show.
I love both Friends and The King of Queens. And I love it how Friends has the best sitcom series final ever.
Joey F. Tribbiani: "Name? Yeah, I know - Ross. But of what it's the abbreviation? Rossel or Rosstopher?"
I have the entire series on DVD too. It's definitely one of my favourite shows, and I have watched many of the episodes several times. It's just one of those shows that seems to never get old.
Chandler was my favorite character, especially in the earlier seasons.
Not to sound sexist but Monica, Phoebe and Rachel all really piss me off. So annoying. Kind of the reason I dont watch the show anymore.

Friends was an alright show for awhile but then it got serious and the level of humor got considerably worse. Chandler was probably my favorite character and Ross was probably my least favorite. Joey was okay every once and awhile because slapstick is only funny once and awhile unless it is done by the Marx Brothers.
Ross was my fave in the later series's, especially when he had that breakdown lol

He could be annoying at times, but he had some great moments in that show. I quite liked The One With the Sandwich.
To be honest, I never found any of the main six anoying - I liked all of them. There were some "guests" I found anoying though (Emily, one of Ross' girlfriends springs instantly to mind here).
I think the humor pretty much worked throughout the series and the show worked better as a sitcom rather than a comedy (yes, there is a difference) it humanized the characters enough. The only drawback (and a minor one at that) is that I can't really find enough differences per-series to sepperate them enough so, if I was to judge Friends as a programme, I would have to judge the whole thing as apposes to per-series/season.
Note: Having seen the whole show, I really like watching the older episodes and seeing the Chandler/Monica scenes - it's almost like it's foreshadowing sometimes, it's kinda cool.
I had a Friends period last spring where I watched pretty much every episode, so now I can't even watch a full episode, I'll have to wait a bit until I see this show again.
Chandler is the best for the first five seasons, then Ross is the best for the last five. Everyone has their moments and episodes, so it's not possible to imagine the show without either one of them. Although if I had to pick the dullest, I'd have to go with Joey. He can get way too stereotyped and unrealistic at times.
I love Friends! I used to watch it since high school, I think. Maybe longer. Pretty sure I've seen every episode there is. I like all the main characters and don't really have a favourite. I watch it from time to time because it is the one show that can instantly cheer me up. I try not to watch the same season over and over again though because I don't want it to lose the "pick-me-up" effect, but that's cool because a season once or twice a year is more than enough
I had a dream with Ross in it last night. Weird.
I liked this show alright. I hated the will they/won't they Ross/Rachel thing. I hate stuff getting dragged out like that. That's why I like The Office; Jim and Pam got together and are staying together. ^_^
It's funny to me that this is still the coolest show ever in Europe and the UK for people my age.
I was a little young for Friends, though I had friends who loved it to bits. I prefer Seinfeld though, if I had to pick my favorite New York apartment building friends mash-up comedy from the 90s.
You know, having basically gone through the show a few times, the more I think that the whole On/Off thing for Ross and Rachel wasn't really that On/Off at all.
It's off for most of the first series, then its on later in the series, and in the next episode its off, then in a later series it's on for one episode, then off again, a few more series the same thing happens - then it's pretty much off for the rest of the show, until the final episode then its on.
