#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,261 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Yea, the first two seasons are particularly strongFor me the show jumped the shark when Chandler and Monica got together. Also hated how dumb they made Joey in the later seasonsYou are talking out of your ass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,261 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Joey became more endearing, and Monica and Chandler just worked.You obviously didn't "get" the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 34,937 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Oh no, you misunderstand me. Monica and Chandler absolutely worked, they were adorable. But the best comedy was when Joey and Chandler were roommates, next door to Monica and Rachel who were roommates. The episode where they play the trivia contest and switch apartments is hilarious! The show simply lost something when Chandler moved in with Monica and was no longer roommates with Joey.I love the show, Stefan. I've probably seen every episode in the first 6 seasons at least 3 times. I watched the show live when it was first run, and when syndication started my sophomore year in college, after the first 4 seasons, I watched them all again. I own all 10 seasons on DVD!There's no denying the last couple of seasons are not as good as the older ones. Like any show really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,261 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Then why do you say the show "jumped the shark"? Thats far too extreme a term for the gradual decline in quality that almost every show that lasts for nearly a decade goes though.IMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,261 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 The whole tiptoeing around the facts and keeping it a secret for everyone else was comedy gold. Especially when Phoebe and Rachel found out and started to mindfuck them, after which Chandler and Monico found out that Phoebe and Rachel knew and started to mindfuck back...with poor Joey in the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 34,937 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Parks and Recreation 7x04 Leslie & RonWow, what a wonderful episode. This the kind of episode you can only do when you are many seasons in and your characters are built up so well. Obviously Ron and Leslie making up was inevitable, but it was still nice to see it happen, and to feature literally almost the whole episode on just them was a nice touch. I'm not sure if the feud essentially being centered around Ron feeling lonely and friend-less as Leslie picked everyone to work for her out of hte parks dept one by one really makes sense though... for one thing, I feel like the writers constantly forget that Ron is now a happily (finally) married man with children to raise and I think that would and should bring him a lot of fulfillment he would desire, but I dunno. Also the episode may have fixed their friendship, but not this season's big issue, that Ron & co and bidding against Leslie & co for the same job. Weird that wasn't mentioned. But those are minor niggles in an otherwise very nice episode.As an aside, NBC deciding to burn off the show by airing two a week is so annoying. I mean, now we have the Ron / Leslie feud all wrapped up a mere 7 days after we even learned it existed, rather than it being theme running through the early part of the season that finally gets a rewarding resolution after a month. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glóin the Dark 1,172 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 You own a show on DVD that you never watched? I have loads of those! Some TV programmes and dozens of films. Even more books that I own but haven't read. Speaking of which: Episode 2 of Wolf Hall was on this week. It's scintillating! Mark Rylance is as good as the lead in any recent Paul Thomas Anderson film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,943 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Friends ended so well unlike Seinfeld and mash both which had suck ass endings. Fresh Prince was pretty awful stuff. Especially after they replaced the aunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
