RIP Mr Perry.

Am I the only person in the US that didn’t care for Friends? It just wasn’t funny to me.

I was curious so I went looking. There's a tour of his current house starting at 2:42

39:41 "Why am I alive?"

Hated it. Only because back in the day it was taking a time slot away from superior shows such as Simpsons or Seinfeld

Exact same thing happened to my uncle about 5 years ago, except he was at elmwood fitness facility and got to medical personnel ASAP

Yep, i think you might be.. It was an hilarious show- the writing was stellar, and the casting was about as perfect as ive ever seen …. However, i am not so crazy about this latest episode- The One Where Chandler Dies….

I'm totally sure twitter conspiracists aren't going to take "Cardiac Arrest" and run with it. Nope, totally sure they won't.

Oh that literally happened within 5 minutes of the news breaking yesterday…. Another example of the dumbing down of America .

There was probably a 5G tower really close to his home....

Didn’t you hear? 5G was used to transmit the coronavirus! It’s an evil perpetuated by the gubment.

Way too many superlatives here for me
It was very well crafted as a sitcom
In the same vein as big bang or everybody loves Raymond or something like Happy Days
They kept main characters mostly flat and got their variations mostly from changing the ‘situations’ or with wacky guest stars

Which sets it apart (not in a good way) by shows like Taxi or Barney Miller or Scrubs or Community or even Seinfeld
These gave their characters actual foibles and thus the possibility for character arcs (and troughs)

either approach- character vs situation- can be very funny
But situation is way more formula/safe so potentially not as impactful as character
