[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These plot elements wouldn't play today:

Fat Monica
Ross's ex-wife lesbian Carol
Chandler's Trans father
Joey's experience being molested by his taylor (Chandler told him) 
Monica's OCD cleaning 
Monica's boyfriends like alcoholic Fun Bobby

I remember how powerful it was to see a lesbian wedding on tv for the first time. [/quote]

Yeah I actually disagree that all these couldn't be plot points now. Chandler could definitely have a trans dad - though it would be treated differently. Ross could absolutely have an ex wife married to another woman. The OCD cleaning is fine. Fun Bobby might even be fine. Being bad touched by a tailor might be ok, depending on how it's handled.

I think the only one that really wouldn't fly is fat Monica.[/quote]

Chandler's trans dad was Morgan freakin' Fairchild!  An icon of the 70s and 80s.  [/quote]
She was his mom; his dad was Kathleen Turner, another 80s icon. The parent casting in this show was great.[/quote]

You're right, my bad.  [/quote]
