Okay, well I don't actually like Friends, but somebody might, so have at it.

of course it couldn't be a show I like. hmph.

[conuly]

I KNOW.

[imhilien]

I disliked that show so much when it was on, everyone around me loved it. Argh.

[conuly]

It's 95% "unrealistic ideas of Manhattan" and 5% "meh".

If I had that kind of time for TV, for $40 an hour, I'd be willing to do that. I've watched worse things (and sometimes had to pay for it, too)...

[conuly]

You've got about two weeks, I think. That's less than 3 episodes a day.

[oloriel]

Yeah, ten years ago I definitely would've gone for it! By now I can't even get through more than two episodes of a series I enjoy in a day, let alone one that would be a chore.

Yuck! Hard pass.

I remember walking through a room when an episode was being aired - during prime time - and they were talking about having a three-way. My nieces were watching it, pre-teens as I recall.

I was not happy.

I never liked that show, but I say that about a lot of television.

I might've done it except it's a contest where a bunch of people do it and then one person gets picked to win and UGH, no thanks.

[archersangel]

i would've done it. but that kind of thing pisses me off.

[marahmarie]

Huh, I dont like Friends, either.

[conuly]

The show was and remains wildly popular, for reasons I never understood.

I'm a fan, but I'm not sure I'm that much of a fan!

I think they're paying you a *chance to win* $1000, not actually $1000. Based on a quick skim, anyway.
