I have bad news for Charles.
- taneq 7y agoYour mamma told you there'd be days like these.
- Brave-Steak 7y agoWhat does he have against Friends?
- jacobush 7y agoIt's pretty cheap and simple entertainment, but I think it accidentally proved to be greater than we could know then. See my previous comment.
- jacobush 7y agoI think to me the allure of Friends is not only that it's good and that we didn't get anything better in the meantime. It's also almost like Star Trek. It's Sci-Fi now. There is technology which is distinctly modern, yet a bit different to our own, people mostly get along, there's no 1984 world actually implemented (FB, Google, China), there's effectively no post 9/11 world and the shine and optimism of the 80s and the naivete of the 90s was still around. Everything was pretty neat. The 0.01% were still mostly in hiding. It's also of course nostalgia but it's not just nostalgia .
