sounds like you really are just in your feelings because I'm not riding this wave that a disservice was done by the creator of friends.
They took a common format and ran with it. big deal, thats tv and entertainment.
Riding what wave? I see no wave in here. And a disservice? :heh:


Chill out Chet...Friends and Seinfeld are safe :whoa: :mjlol:

Why mention it then?
Because its weird to me that its something Latifah feels the need to bring up, seeing as the concept of living single was generic as hell and used by shows bigger than it.

I never watched friend, and seinfeld isn't threatened by any show it is what it is.
Nice attempt at deflecting though.

Phoebe is literally a white version of Sinclair. Phoebe is just white girl hipster crazy.
Overton and Joey? Same deal. Joey is just better with the ladies.

Friends was clearly influenced. Where the writers played it smart was by emphasizing the natural differences in characteristics that come with changing locale and making them all white.

I didn't really say it for her, just my opinion on a message board.
You are the one that seemed to really take it to heart.
:sas1:
Your opinion wasn't relevant to the topic tho. But you expressed it anyway but yer not taking it to heart?! Not convincing. Just my opinion, don't refute cause yer not taking this to heart. :sas2:
