FRIENDS seems so stereotyped and drab...and other comedy shows are not even worth mentioning....This is truly the best comedy show in the world....
Found the ads very irritating when they first appeared on ZEE English. Found many of the jokes pretty drab in the first few episodes I watched....Then the best parts of the dawned on me....
The Characters are soooo well drawn. You watch a million episodes and the core character of any of the 4 will remain the same. Inter-linking : The show always starts off with lots of smaller incidents....And in the 20 min...All, I mean ALL of them mingle with each other.... And it always ends with an irony.
Pace : There is hoo-haa pace in the story. Each dialogue has it value in the show...Not like FRIENDS where the usual thing is : ''It does...No it Doesnt...Yes it does....No it......''. One scene may last for only 3 seconds. But it has its place in the whole picture.
Cross-Reference : There are at times dialogues which relate to some remote episode which makes the jokes even more interesting. They have used Kramer's cream jacket as the central thing in atleast 4 episodes...Or George's marriage invitation cards.
Kramer : He's the best part of the show. The only character who I cant relate to ( like Phoebe). The hyperactive clumsiness along with the crazy ideas.....
Wow Watch it. Understand it. Enjoy it. Relate to it. Masti Maaro.
