Friends?

Friends? 20 times a bloody week?
Are Channel 4 trying to bore us to sleep?
Any thoughts?

No problem. I used to watch it too, but then all the episodes seemed a bit of the same old same old week after week.

I didn’t realize people in the UK enjoyed it too. 🙂

Friends has been quiet huge here i like it but can’t rate it above our own comedy classics such as “porridge” “only fools and horses” “Blackadder” “faulty towers” etc.

If she was I bet she’d suck. 😉

My wife apparently looks like one of them. Short dark hair, my wife. Ring any bells? Can’t judge, because I don’t watch crap – I write it.

One watches purely for Jennifer Aniston (sad loser…).

Having met her face-to-face (long story….) I can tell you that the TV doesn’t do her justice – she’s quite lovely “in the flesh”, as it were.

Funny lady, too…… 🙂

And no…..I can’t stand the bl**dy programme!

I know two people who watch – or will admit to watching – Friends.
One watches purely for Jennifer Aniston (sad loser…;)).
The other said she did feel that maybe Channel 4 was going a little over the top in trying to encourage people to stay with it for Big Brother (oh god:().
These are the sort of people I have to work with…:eek:

I imagine it would be a problem if channel 4 was the only channel available.
there are other things one can do besides watching channel 4 like: watching channel 3…

Channel 3 is ITV in Britain – home to soaps, former soap actors trying to escape being stereo-typed by starring in action dramas, and trashy quizes.
My point was that Channel 4 seems to have decided to ignore those viewers who do not want to watch Friends by white-washing the schedules to make it difficult not to watch it. Even the home-buyers and DIY freaks will be complaining that they have been squeezed out…

One of my youngest colleagues (she was born a year after I joined 😮 ) took a magazine test on which “Friend” she was. (She is a blonde) : Phoebe! Just what she wanted! 😀

Well, people say I’m a bit like that Chandler-guy: very sarcastic towards other people.

there are other things one can do besides watching channel 4 like: watching channel 3, expressing one’s love for another, telling people their signatures are too large, BBQ(ing) koalas, watching a movie about how a british-yank shot down 2000 aircraft in one day and lots, lots, lots more.

I think its just the usual canned American crap – but this time with a media approved and caused frenzy. It’s been dull and pathetic from day one. The characters are rubbish, and it’s not actually funny.
