do you think the "friends" actors were talented?

Clearly you never watched it.

It had interracial dating.

Lesbian mothers.

Catholics, Jews, and non religious.

A lead with a dad who was a gay drag queen turned trans.

Rich people. Poor people. People from broken homes.

You are really reaching for straws to try to start a political fight and push a narrative that this show was not diverse.

Diversity wasn’t a consideration in the 90’s. Considering that, they were very diverse. And much more diverse in a later comedy, Big Bang.

Yeah that's wasn't a focus at the time. Seinfeld wasn't either, what about Cheers or Home Improvement or Full House before that?

And agree with PP that it pushed boundaries in other ways, the lesbian wedding was surely a first for prime time network TV.

And the network hired 200 operators to take disgruntled phone calls after showing that wedding. There were next to none.

I read the female minister in the show was Newt Gingrich gay sister! For the young ones who don’t know who Newt was, he was the Republican Speaker of the House.

Aren't you a little old to still be believing these Hollywood lies 20 years later?

"PIVOT!!"

Never thought the scene was funny.

That's definitely a you problem

I think the only reason people NOW like it is because Schwimmer said that was his favorite scene.

I actually thought the leather pants with powder and lotion was his best scene.

Oh the leather pants scene was so good!

Yes I thought Matthew Perry (Chandler) was a great comedy actor on the show.

Has anyone seen the Tracy Ulman BBC sketch on the millenial support group that was given an assignment to watch friends to help them to overcome getting offended by and finding microaggressions in everything?

No, but now I want to. That sounds hilarious.
