friends

I'll admit it, I hated this show for years. So fake, people don't behave like that in real life. Then, the pandemic hit and my eyes opened up to how stupid people are. Just because I behave with a grain of sense and a spoonful of logic, does not mean everybody else does the same.

Also, are these really friends? Or are they stuck together because no one else can stand them? Like in Seinfeld.

Oh, I forgot the Smelly Cat singer. There's a coffee shop they love to hang out in and those are the two main locations of this show. And that's it, so how did this simple formula become a top show, cult classic, beloved by generations?

I really can't say. Sometimes, it is about the perfect timing. There was a gap and they filled it.
