As the title above says, I used to be a fan of this show, because I was able to deal with all the annoying aspects (Goddamn noisy laughs coming from nowhere and for no reason, silly plotlines, etc...) but I finally got sick of it and quit watching.
It's not only that the show is unrealistic, but the fact that the storylines have become kinda old, predictable and overused (Everybody trying and dating one another, all women pregnant or on the way to be, etc...) and the nail on the coffin to me was the appalling news that they had renewed for a ninth season. NBC should be ashamed of this. After all, as the cast haven't earned enough money so far, let's give them a few millions more. I find myself wondering: Why not use this money in promoting new and better shows?
It's true what other users have written here - the cast is pretty lame at acting and the show is not funny, but the problem is you've got millions of people who like it. And I can't see how someone compare Friends to Seinfeld. The latter WAS a good show, and didn't have to rely on a cute cast for ratings. In Friends' case, it seems the cast was selected from a models' agency (In regards to the actresses, and they have gotten so thin and malnourished that it's sick to look at them now).
I only hope this season was definitely the last.
