i have a severe problem with this show and several actually . a simple list will suffice for now and i will go into more depth later on represent superficial character and a laugh track and boring humour . if you do not wish to look at the rest of this review and be only read it so you can feel superior ( a if you see anything in this show i do not ) to a frequently irk teen from canada i will summarize represent friend suck and not only because it be unfunny but because it destroy the tv audience for new and good show ( arrest development and dexter etc . ) . friend be as much to blame for reality tv and two and a half men and the king of queen a the television executive . now then and on with the review . these character have no soul and they be exactly the same in every way ( outside of gender and hair colour ) . they react the same way in boring situation and be completely secure in their own body . where be the conflict and the humour that come with it . why isn not rachel storm out on monica after monica start hang out with rachel enemy . why doesn not joey contemplate suicide because nobody seem to take him seriously . oh right and cause he the dumb one and he comfortable with that . this be the curse of have perfect character represent last conflict and ( god forbid ) personality become an impossibility . the laugh track be the one thing that should have die out right after it be bear . any show that have one be almost certainly the opposite of funny . how can i make such a broad generalization . when a show that claim to be comedy require laughter from someone besides the audience it must mean that the audience would not laugh without it . laughtracks destroy humour by prevent quick comeback . humour become a construct rather than a free flowing entity ( see the office and arrest development ) . this lead to my next point represent the humour be bore . there be no way to make a perfect character anything more than slightly humorous ( without a laugh track apparently ) simply because our everyday humour come from recognition of our flaw . so what if monica date a 17 year old . she immediately recognize that what she be do isn not right and break up with him . there have to be some sort of conflict rather than an immediate solution . maybe her mother find out or one of her friend try to get rid of him and end up seduce him . that would be great and it would be like a custody battle . so now i have provide evidence for my position . many of my friend love this show because they haven not hear of curb your enthusiasm or arrest development and many of my friend hate this show because they recently start watch curb your enthusiasm or arrest development . i have watch very little of friend in my life and but i have watch enough to spot huge flaw that make the show and in my opinion and completely unwatchable . if you have read this far and thank you and and i hope you at least start watch some of the show i have mention .
