it's like if you took leave it to beaver and set it in the 90s. everyone in the 90s fantasized about having cool and funny experiences with their friends and drinking coffee too, much like people in the 50s dreamed of having a perfect family like on leave it to beaver.

Global warming is barely a big deal at all compared to the trajectory we used to be on. We'll have to do a lot of environmental engineering projects along certain shorelines and it will be a little warmer and wetter in some places, big fucking deal.
It's a show with easy throwaway jokes with broad appeal that require no knowledge of the characters or previous episodes so anyone can catch a random episode any time and find it mildly humorous. This is in contrast to shows like Arrested Development that make no sense if you turned the TV on and randomly saw season 2 episode 6 with no context, i.e. shows that get cancelled in less than 3 seasons despite receiving high critical praise

The spin-off "Enemies" was better because it was just dead poo poo everywhere, dead poo poo on the floors, dead poo poo draped over countertops. Dead poo poo on the street outside, dead poo poo taking up parking spots.

"So while it's hard to say exactly what that eclectic apartment would be worth today, Trulia's research shows that the median cost of a two bedroom, one bath apartment in the West Village is $5,100 a month.

And if Monica made upwards of $82,000 as an executive chef and Rachel made $57,000 as a fashion coordinator, they could afford to rent an apartment up to $3,600 a month. "

"That’s cheating! You know the rules: once you sacrifice something here, you don’t get it back!"

It was great because it was just a show about normal guys like you and your friends. They had normal problems that the general public could relate to, like having crappy jobs, having bad relationships, or having a pet monkey.

I thought it was an ok show. I just watch reruns of x files and twin peaks for the most part so it actually seems comparatively modern with that in mind.

They should make a friends style show except for call it "homeless friends" and they can hang out at the soup kitchen and in the parks in which they live

You could even use the same theme song.

'Your jobs a joke, you're broke'
*friend is fishing cans out of a dumpster*

'Your love life's DOA'
*friend is shaking lifeless corpse in the gutter and screaming towards the sky*
