Tickenest's Journal: What's with the Friends bashing?

So many people watch the show, yet I never hear anyone talk about how much they like it. All I hear is one comment after another about what a crappy show it is and how they're all soulless and shallow yuppies. Any argument along the lines of, "If so many people watch it, they've got to be doing something right, don't they?" is met with, "Now you see how stupid Americans are."

I think lots of people bash Friends because it's trendy. It makes you sound smart to bust out all these critiques about the show that you heard from someone else.

I stopped watching it several years ago

but I did watch this last season.

It was a good show. Beats the hell outta crap like Seinfeld, and yet the self-proclaimed show about nothing is always trotted out by these fuckin' wankers as high art. Whatever. I'd rather look at some people I can identify with on ANY level than those dumbshits on seinfeld.
