What Friends?


Watching "Friends" last night with a couple of my own lead me to some conclusions about the show. I hadn't watched that show in a few years (I am not exaggerating), yet, I still understood what in the world was going on. This would lead me to believe that the show had a extremely thin plot (or more like, no plot). Maybe this show was so popular because people could live out their fantasies that people like Courtney Cox "Monica" and Jennifer Aniston "Rachel" would actually be your friend. And maybe one of those girls would actually fall in love you or even have sex with you (but of course you would have to fight over who gets the last condom). Or maybe people's fantasy would be to live next to your best friends in the world and never fight with one another, or at least have a fight that lasted longer than 30 minutes. Or maybe people's fantasy would be to hang out with a group of ill-witted, highly obnoxious people who would not know an annoying person from a genius. The fat girls fantasy is played out in Monica in that even if you were fat in high school, you can look anorexic like her and get the guy of your dreams in the future. Not Going To Happen! Or maybe you just mindlessly like to watch promiscuity, false impressions of love, and relationships that mend in record time. Who knows?
