Does anyone think the show ever jumped the shark? I'm not sure. The Ross/Rachel thing sometimes was tiresome and I didn't like the Bings moving to Oklahoma arc.

I had assigned to you a Classic B, but I guess you deleted your post before I submitted mine and it wouldn’t let my post go thru.

I wasn’t a fan of the Joey/Rachel storyline.

Was the use of Yellow Ledbetter in the finale the first PRAMG offense?

Joey & Rachel was so awkward and cringey. Definitely a low point for the series.

The idea that Nicolas Cage knockoff could score Rachel was even less believable than renting that apartment on a barista wage

It's Monica's grandma's apartment. Her name is still on the lease and it's rent stabilized. Monica is living there illegally and the rent is next to nothing.

i love a good NYC rent stabilized/controlled story...a friend of ours had a small studio in a brownstone a few doors down from us on the upper west side..he's in his early 60s now..he's had the place since the late 70s..the landlord sold the building but he wouldn't move because of his rights..he stayed in there by himself and fought the buyout...they ended up paying him $900.000 cash to move out

30-33 seconds? Do you think he used his hands or a fork and knife?

Jen Aniston circa Friends Season 2-4 was pretty perfect. After that she went overboard with the dieting.
