[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I enjoyed the show but agree I'm puzzled why it was such a huge hit, and I'm surprised that teens today are discovering it and watching it. I really don't know why. I even watched the "reunion" special last year which was not that great but there I was sitting through the whole thing.

The guys were not that good looking. Jen was super cute and I think very attainable to people - like she wasn't drop dead gorgeous so women could see themselves living that life and men could see themselves dating her. Lisa Kudrow was genuinely funny - there hadn't been a character quite like her. I like how the women were really into dating but weren't obsessed with getting married (like SATC Charlotte) or staying single and sleeping with everyone (like Samantha) or obsessing over an unattainable man (like Carrie). I liked how the Ross was a big nerd and Chandler was super sarcastic.

They had their struggles with boring careers and shattered dreams. It was light and fun, and like a PP said, there wasn't a lot else on! No streaming in the 90s and no one watched TV on their phone.

I agree, the reunion special was really bad. I also thing the last two years were mostly fillers since the show was suppose to end in season 8. I assume with Rachel’s baby Ross and her would get married.[/quote]
