ewanspotter asked for another Friends-related post. As you might (or probably will not) know, I'm currently watching all ten seasons of Friends for the first time. She wanted me to post about how I like the show. So here it is. By request.

I think that when the show originally aired, I was just too young to get it and connect to the characters, so I never liked it much. Watching it now? I adore it.

I like the continuity of the show. I like that they move around and most importantly, move on, and that it's a sitcom where things change for a while or forever. I love that when Joey and Chandler decide to keep a chicken, they actually do for some seasons (I'm almost done with season six now and the duck and chicken are still there). I love how the show is constantly referring back to earlier seasons without giving an explanation (the Gellar way of giving the finger, for example).

I love how loveable all the characters are (okay, I'll NEVER really warm up to Ross. But I've seen far more annoying characters on television). And I love that they have ticks and odd habbits that they actually keep instead of magically losing them. It just makes them incredibly human.

I love how the show is not taking itself too seriously, and I love how witty and clever it is. Even when the plot of the episode bores me, it's always fun to watch these characters.

By the way, my brother claims that if I was one of the characters, I'd be Monica. I guess I have to agree ;-)

Oh, and PLEASE don't spoiler me for future seasons. Believe it or not, but I managed to survive the past ten years and more without getting majorly spoiled for the show.
