[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a show about white people living safely in the Big Apple. The vast majority of the audience for the show at that time lived in homogeneous, car-dominated suburbs. So they show played to white peoples’ fantasies about urbanization. [/quote] Gen X who totally disagrees. Friends really wasn’t about NYC at all. SATC clearly was. Friends was about that in between time where you’re single and trying to figure out your future. It was also about the friends themselves, and they focused on the ensemble quite well. But most of all, it was just about the weekly storyline that propelled the relationships and the group forward through comedic plots. It was the Three’s Company for Gen X. Was it sanitized? Absolutely. NBC and other tv networks have always been vanilla and geared towards the masses. The fact that it remains popular in syndication decades later proves it was a great show. [/quote]
