"Friends" TV show

Friends remained on the air for ten years because the public liked it.  They became friends with the friends on TV.  They were so real, they seemed like they could be our own friends and we followed them through marriages, divorces, illness, deaths and births.  From being jobless to finding new jobs.  A group of friends who hung out in a nearby place maybe similar to where you hang out.  We felt their hurts and joys, but from reading the first few comments on this page, apparently you didn't like the show and that's OK because enough people did.  That's what kept them on the air for ten years.  Now the reruns are going.  10pm to midnight on Nick at Night, then on a channel 134 from 12am on.  I don't miss a show.  I've seen them all and know all the dialog, including what will make me laugh.  Yes, I still laugh at what they do and say.  Lisa Kudrow was a character.  Someone we loved from the beginning.  It's not easy to do prop comedy, which she's excellent at.  Her improvs with her dialog made her stand out.  The high pitched voice of Courtney Cox at times was just at the right time and she made us feel she truly loved Chandler Bing, a sweet, sweet friend.  Joey had his own thing too.  Very identifiable and while David Schwimmer wasn't a favorite of mine in the beginning, I just loved him throughout the show's tenure.  Jennifer hasn't had good luck with her movies except We're the Millers.  That was Rachel, all grown up.  The problem with Jennifer Aniston, she has not found a movie that's just about her character.  If you recall Kate Hudson, Kate is the star in her movies.  Jennifer is also a starring role but secondary to Owen Wilson and the dog.  She plays second fiddle to Adam Sandler.  She needs to hunt for a film that she's the main story point, not make movies 2 and 3 times a year that nobody will care about.  Horrible Bosses.  Why would she do something like that.  Would you see Angeline Jolie, Julia Roberts or Reese Witherspoon doing those films?  NO.  I'll keep watching my favorite Friends and hope to see more of them all.  I don't watch Cougar Town because that's not the Monica I loved.
