I don't understand the attractionSmaug says: Ricky Gervais. Lesbian pr0n. Going into a crowded bar, purely because it's crowded. All these things seem to be popular with everybody else, but I just can't work out why. What leaves you cold just as much as it turns everyone else on?

^^^Quite right too. I spend quite a lot of time in the US for work, and I can assure you that the septics DO have a sence of humor (:-)).
On occassion they DO come out with decent comedy too - if a little bland in most cases. For example, I REALLY did not want to like The Big Bang Theory - It looked like proper waste-of-space trash. Yet, somehow it DID make me laugh (the first series in any case) and I quite enjoy it.
Not as clever or funny as say, Only Fools, but sill entertaining.
Friends, I just find bland and repetitive - it seems to be the same story each time I've seen it. I just don't find it funny. Once or twice it has rasied a smile from me, but I would say that as a comedy it should at least aim a little higher.

The problem with friends..perhaps, is that it's of the "here comes the punchline" variety? You know what the joke is going to be and who it's on way before it arrives. I find that quite tiresome and boring. It's just too middle of the road, inoffensive and nice! But........... that probably represents a large chunk of the tv viewing population so no wonder it's successful?
