    Friends. The very definition of bland humor.

    ^^ yeah I think Friends was trying to sail on the success of Seinfeld. I don't enjoy sitcoms in general, but you can add Two Broke Girls to that mix and The Big Bang to that as well (I know they have many fans), which is just a formula sitcom started by Happy Days followed by That '70s Show.

    I love “good” sitcoms. Got to have a level of sarcasm and bite to them! “Becker” and Two and a half Men are classics

    King Ralph - To this day it's the only film I have watched at the cinema and walked out on.

    Anything with Will Ferrell or the rest of the "frat-pack", with the exception of "Blades of Glory".

    Avoid "Cable Guy" if you haven't seen it already.

    I can get the notion that "Friends" is a cut-rate "Seinfeld" - one without the same cynicism and bite - but it still could be funny.

    That cast did a lot of the heavy lifting. Lotsa talent in that core six and they really clicked...

    That stinker is your exception??? :eek:

    I'd actually like to see that one again. I saw it theatrically and disliked it but I'd be curious to give it another look 23 years later!

    Atleast Ferrel avoids his most annoying mannerisms, except during the drunken evil wizard- scene. :whistle:

    Not a Dapper Dan Man are ya?

    It’s a great film. Its not slapstick and its not very broad comedy, but it has elements of both just like all the great Corn films. At least up until No Country.

    That aside I found Family Ties consistently dissapointing.

    Chaddyshack 2 is just a horrible misstep. Though me and my closet friend from middle school still call each other Mr. Sanderson and Mrs. Estherhaus

    I think that wàs a subtle but major thing at the time to show an inoffensive and docile male and the female's perhaps having the upper hand.
