Title: Friends

Why was this show so popular? It's rough ridin' terrible. Even big bang theory is better.

I hate Big Bang Theory! That's a bold statement, though. I have friends (no pun intended) that swear by this show, you're treading on some murky waters.

Interesting, I hope your friends (no pun intended) chime in.

At the time it was on, I thought Friends was a great show.  Most people did. I remember bars such as Scoreboards running ads in the Collegian along the lines of "Come watch Friends with your friends" and then adverstising their drink special that night.  It was a big deal among most college students.  And yes Jennifer Aniston had a lot to do with it.  Now, whenever the reruns come on I can't watch them.  Their pretty terrible.

So to answer your question it may have just been the in thing to do/watch at the time.

The best part of Big Bang Theory is when our guy Warren tweets about exotic birds that appear on the show.

Seven, do you think there are any other things that were cool in the 90s but seem sucky today?

Legs?  more like her propensity for going sans bra on a regular basis.

The next Quantum Leap episode should be Scott Bacula(sp) traveling back in time to stop Friends from being made.  "Whew!  That was a close one Al!"

What sitcom has held up to the test of time the best?  Seinfeld would be my pick

Personal preferences aside it's the Simpsons, or Gunsmoke if you're really old.

I don't think Gunsmoke is a sitcom.

The answer is easy: New Girl

Maybe network TV, but not cable.  Sopranos. Absolute best.
