Friends is almost entirely unwatchable these days. Man, that show did not stand up to time at all. But I thought he was probably the best character on that show. Or the most likeable.

Friends would have sucked a lot more if it wasn't for MP. He made that show, imo.

The biggest problem with MP is he will always be known as Chandler and every role he's had since Friends is a slight variation of Chandler. Even on his new show he's still basically playing an older version of Chandler.

It's crazy how much better television has gotten since the 1990s. Back then you had Seinfeld, Freinds, and Frazier and ER were like the only shows that people watched. And to a lesser extent crap ripoffs like Everybody Loves Raymond. Nowadays there are dozens of television series that people will watch.

Back then people tuned in to see what Rachel's hair looked like or how the 6 of them were dressed. And the only other hook to the show was the love relationships between them. Once the show ended, and none of that mattered anymore (Hairstyle, fashion and will Ross and Rachel get back together), the show has almost nothing of substance. I tried watching them and they are awful.

A shows like Seinfeld stands up much better since its audience wasn't captivated by fashion or hairstyles of the castmembers. It was basically all writing.

brutal

I gotta admit I chuckled at the "tell her she is not marriage material" line. That line was pretty good IMO.

Same with Neve Campbell, she's not a very good actress. As far as TV actors who I thought would make the leap, Henry Ian Cusick. He had a short but very memorable stint on 24, then on Lost his role increased to the point where he was absolutely killing by the last couple seasons. Handsome and charismatic to the hilt. I know he's continued to work in TV, but that dude could have been at Clive Owen like in movies (and I love Clive Owen).

Jude Law belongs ITT. Watch "The Talented Mr Ripley" and you'll think he's going to be the biggest star in the world.

I mean, not everyone is going to be Robert Redford or Tom Cruise

Jude Law looks like he's been abusing drugs for several years. I just saw him in a movie the other day and he looked like garbage. Almost couldn't believe it was him.

obligatory Sean Penn shout out to Jude Law lol

Proud to say I NEVER watched Friends on purpose. Have to say though I thought Phoebe/Lisa Kudrow was only thing worth watching.
