BINGO my friend. Its joey, the italian actor that made us laugh the hardest. it was probably his dumbness that was the funniest bit, but the facets of his character were probably the greatest. Although most channels and websites poll show rachel as the best friends character, i stand by joey.
Thanx friend, i finally found a joey fan, just like me.

I think Friends was one of the best comedies ever. I wish it was still going on. I still watch the reruns and it never fails to make me laugh. I've probably seen every episode a dozen times and never get tired of it.

Yes,it is the best comedies ever. even today i watched it while taking a break between study. i think it is because of its secret recipe. If you're a die hard fan of friends,you'll easily notice that every single episode contain not one,but at least 2 different storyline run parallel...usually three.
1. The first is the main storyline of that episode.Sometimes expand 2-4 episodes after it. Eg:About Ross's difficult relationship with Rachel.
2. 2nd is the side story. It's usually not so important,just to make many jokes out of it. Eg. About Phoebe's weird 6th sense or Joey's acting.
3. 3rd is so not important,very light that we never really noticed it...usually slipped in between,very short. Eg. Gunther's crush in Rachel,Joey's duck & chick.
Of course the 1st and 2nd storyline really connected in a sense of jokes quality and quantity. If the 1st is quite sad or serious,then the 2nd has to be more funny. Sometimes the writer simply put 2 of the 2nd type without the 1st.
But a good show doesn't always has more storyline in one episode. For example Everybody Loves Raymond. I also enjoy watching it and this show doesn't usually has many storyline in one episode,but sometimes it does. Eg. If the episode about Raymond lying,then the episode would evolve just about that topic. Still it is a good show.
Wow i'm really being technical here..hehe sorry. In conclusion,Friends is da best!

I agree it's one of the best tv shows ever. I miss it terribly, but thanks to DVDs, I can watch all 11 seasons over and over again, their jokes never gets old for me.

I always dug Friends and I still watch reruns sometimes, but my favorite sit-com is Cheers. Of course, I've already seen them all at least a few times, so I rarely watch it anymore.
I'm not sure Friends is one of the best sit-coms ever, but it's a pretty good one. I've been getting into Arrested Development a lot lately, too.

I what very accessible for everyone. Most comedies are for a specific audience only but almost everyone loved friends, that made it quite unique indeed.

Well, it was one of the best comedy series ever, but if I had to choose THE best comedy series then I would go for Seinfeld.
Seinfeld had all the ingredients that make a hilarious show. In friends you would have some very good episodes and some boring ones, but in Seinfeld every episode made me laugh my lungs off.
