With Friends Like These...
Regular e-mail contributor James Phillips chimes in on Friends:
That really was a great review of "Friends" you just posted. Nailed it. The difference between Friends and Seinfeld is best illustrated for me by the number of times something happens the seems right out of a Seinfeld episode.
Someone said today (I heard it on Rush) that the public liked "Friends" because it reminded them of the Clinton Administration. Probably more truth to that than they realized. A bunch of self-indulgent over-grown adolescents whose entire lives revolves around sex, sex, and sex. And talking about sex, relationships, and heartbreak. Your description of "Friends" could've been a description about the Clinton Presidency.
Friends "feels your pain." Yech.
Notice that one of Mitch's most popular posts is itself Seinfeld-ian. A post about nothing (yes, I am quoting myself.)
