[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's dopey to you now but in the 90s it embodied the free-spirit of that time period before social media, before influencers, before iphones and all the crap that has basically ruined things for us now where we can't watch something without dissecting it apart a thousand ways. Friends worked then. It was sort of one-dimensional and dopey and that's what made it great. Just silly, fun tv that made you feel like you were hanging out with your friends. That's why I always loved it. [/quote]

If OP thinks Friends is dopey, she has never watched, “Alf”, “Small Wonder”, “Silver Spoons”, “Mr. Belvedere” or other 80’s sitcoms![/quote]

Or the 90s sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond, which aired for NINE SEASONS and was syndicated for forever. I never watched that show when it was on in primetime but I have probably seen 100 episodes of it because it was heavily syndicated in the 00s and would come on like 4 times a day. I think I just kind of absorbed it into my system accidentally? It was funny when Ray Romano started becoming a more legitimate actor and getting better roles in more prestige shows, because he felt so familiar to me even though I don't think I ever intentionally watched an episode of that show.

There used to be just an endless supply of dopey, basic sitcoms on TV, and lots of them ran for many seasons. Actually, the more "mid" they were, the more likely they were to run because people (and advertisers) just wanted comfort food. The macaroni and cheese of entertainment -- simple, basic, mild, minimally nutritious, but somehow still filling and satisfying.[/quote]
