Nearly ANYTHING is better than Friends.  Though DW is a fan, so I admit I have watched a fair number of episodes.

90% of what is wrong with Friends could be corrected by shooting David Shwimmer in the face.

I think the problem with Seinfeld vs. Friends is that if you were under 30 it was really obvious that the main four characters on Seinfeld were terrible people whereas you had to be over 30 to realize the main six on Friends were just as terrible (if not even more terrible) yet you didn't know.

My criteria for any show thats not dramatic is "Would I hang out with these people if they were real?" I never watched Friends or Seinfeld because they are flat berkeleying awful.

Can't -- it's still on TV every night.

I even liked Seinfeld when it was more current but since at least 2005 I have had zero interest in watching it.

"Modern Family" is the top of my list.  Basically, all network TV "entertainment" is E36M3...

In reply to Duke :

Look for a Brit show called "Coupling", like friends but years earlier and includes nudity.

In reply to 914Driver :

Yup!  We own the complete series on DVD.

Avoid the single-episode American version at all costs.

Jeff is my spirit animal.

In reply to travellering :

That episode was epic. The writers defintiely gave Jeff some awesome dialog...

In reply to Duke :

The ad on to that is the Orion driver shuts down two engines, and challenges the Hornet jockey to do the same.

Old show now, but hilarious, I think there was about five or six seasons.  We called it 'Friends for grown ups'.  There was another funny show called 'Scrotal recall' in the UK, that was renamed 'Love Sick' for this backwards puritanical country for some reason.

And on the subject of the above meme, I have a legume allergy which I developed in my 30's.  Having grown up in the UK beans on toast is like PB&J here.  The cheap, cheerful, ubiquitous meal for kids to eat any time.  Loosing baked beans and chilly was a major blow to be, but the end of major blow ups for my system. 

You know what Bart is singing in the pic below!

Seinfeld was great in it's era, I just don't think it's aged that well.  Try some of his stand up specials, hilarious.
