It used to be comfort food television to unwind to before going to bed. Fads change. Nowadays, people like shows to be like faux-cinematic soap operas that they can get lost in. Sitcoms are too naive, but we just traded one bad trend for another. In 50 years time, people will probably look back on this era of prestige television with contempt. I can't say I'm sad about the death of the sitcom however. I work with a bunch of baby boomers/Gen Xer's and their humor is basically timed like sitcom humor, and it's fucking horrible.

If you can't tell Friends sucks even with the laugh track, I don't know what to tell you.

>sitcom no laugh track
and saw that clip as one of the first results.
it's like my whole life is a lie now.
i guess i can take solace in knowing that out there in this big world of ours, there are still some really, really smart people like you. nowhere near as smart as you, obviously. clearly. but still probably pretty smart.

Why are you replying to my post? I'm the one basically saying that the laugh track removed from a sitcom shouldn't change your opinion of the show.
>huge fan of friends
Seems like it.
