Big Bang or Friends?

Both of them are big hits. I love them both!

Friends has always been a fave because it was there during my teen years.

But I love Big Bang and reckon if it was out at the same time I’d have preferred it over Friends.

Favourite characters are Chandler and Sheldon of course!

But my choice is Friends!

Big bang is best by far. I don't think it will date as badly as Friends either.

Sirzy · 29/02/2024 17:37

Big bang!

Friends! I could never get into the Big Bang.

I re watched friends again this year, yes all 10 , lt made me laugh, l can’t say l followed all of big bang but enjoyed it.

I also love both and rewatch both. But Friends is my number one forever. Some of it doesn't age well sure but I have so much nostalgia over it all.

PanadTe · 29/02/2024 18:10

Yeah, I agree about Friends not aging well. Fat jokes and Sexist Ross do make me cringe

Big bang all day long! Me and my son watch it EVERY DAY! God I love that programme! I like friends but it's not a patch on BBT.

Friends and Big Bang are my faves. I constantly rewatch them. I'm currently going through Friends again and when I finish I will restart Big Bang, then Friends, the Big Bang....... I know I'm sad!

I loved Ross as a young teenager, as an adult woman I cant stand him. Hes actually really abusive

I recently started watching friends again and was gutted he wasnt the man I thought he was 😂

crumpet · 29/02/2024 18:32

I’d go off piste and have Parks & Rec

Chickenwing2 · 29/02/2024 18:33

I love both and both are "safe" shows that I can put on and fall asleep to.

Young Sheldon is better than Big Bang Theory though Grin

Appalonia · 29/02/2024 18:37

Love both! They're my comfort shows. Agree Young Sheldon is great too. Enjoy The Goldbergs as well, such a crazy, but loving family.

This is the rotation we seem to have going on… with a bit of ghosts and bluey thrown in 🤣

This is exactly how I felt! Which is worrying for young teens 🤔

I’ve seen friends so much that I can put it on as an audio book on long drives because I can picture every scene 🙈🤣

I do that with Greys Anamtony and Big bang. I watch other things but they are my constant cycle of comfort TV

Yogatoga1 · 29/02/2024 20:40

I’m a scientist 😂. Can’t stand Big Bang, so not funny.

i’d quite like to see how Dr Ross Geller, paleontology PhD fit in with the Big Bang crowd. Friends always kind of glossed over his academics. Need a crossover 😂

it’s Buffy in this house. With a touch of Firefly for variety. Tainted by bloody Whedon now of course 😤
