...what successful sitcoms?

Oh 2 and a half men and BBT. Great shows, there. Thanks Friends.

My opinion: I can't get into this show and hate it.

It was funny at the time, and that time was when I was 10-12, op.

It helps that my picture of adulthood at the time was you basically automatically got an apartment and could loaf around being a zany spaz all day like Phoebe or Joey.

Seriously, it's aged really, really terribly.

I don't even remember it being funny when it was on.

Also, over half of the cast annoys the hell out of me when they show up in other things. Am I the only one who doesn't get why the world got fascinated with Jennifer Anniston? Was she amazing on the show or something? She comes off as cardboard in everything else, ever.

Not sure about Korea. According to my friend (heh) who lived there last year, the other US show that was crazy popular was Prison Break.
