DieselDaisy Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I blame Friends for the obsession with coffee. They have this life revolving around a coffee shop. They never go to the pub or get pissed like proper people. They just sit on this settee drinking coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Unlike British sitcom which is dark and tragic, set in housing estates, consisting of rag and bone men, American sitcoms have cushy little 'New York' style lives, full of people drinking coffee and sketches about relationship trouble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be stunned how many American sitcoms are versions of the ones over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len Cnut Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Don't they always yankify them? The Americans do not like grit in their sitcoms.Yeah and suck the character out of them. But the sheer amount of em is mindblowing!Steptoe becomes SanfordPorridge becomes On the RocksBirds of a Feather becomes stand by your manDear John becomes Dear John USThe Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin becomes ReggieGeorge and Mildred becomes The RopersMan About the House becomes Threes Company....only 25 years later so the idea of two birds and a man co-habiting is no longer socially unusualOn The Buses becomes Lots of LuckTil Death Us Do Part becomes All in the Family, with zero serious satirical value of socio-political commentaryAnd thats just off the top of my head, there are tons more.

gunsfanoldie Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I loved Friends. It was my first favorite TV show. But seriously, I've never needed a "reunion", I've never needed a movie. They are actors, its a TV show. I've never understood this fascination with them all getting back together. Yes, I watch their other shows and its fun when Schwimmer will show up on Matt LeBlanc's show. But just for a laugh. My heart doesn't stop like it would for Axl and Slash being on the same stage. So I've never understood that fascination. I've very much on the cast's side where "it was a show. Get over it people!"Also, I love how this was immediately reported everywhere. My dad told me about it and I said "not a chance", then you open the article and the first quote is "well we don't know if we can get all 6 of them in the same room..." and I cracked up. This reporting was worse than the GNR reunion, cause at leas that was rooted in truth. Total clickbait headline EVERYWHERE even though there's no evidence they'll all appear. But yeah, I'm happy they've held out this long. If they all stood on a stage and just thank Jim Burrows that would be sweet and enough for me. I don't have to see them get into character, do a sketch, do a full episode. They have always been right when they've said it would be pathetic, and thats coming from a massive heterosexual fan.

Bottom is more of that time too. Or The Fast Show. Edited January 16, 2016 by Len B'stard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
