To think that Big Bang Theory is better than Friends?

Or is it because BBT is now and Friends was then? IYKWIM.

I would like to announce that solely as a result of this thread I have gone out of my way to watch my first ever episode of Big Bang Theory. I think I'll pursue this. Thank you for the tip!Grin

I had been putting all my eggs in the 'How I Met Your Mother is the new Friends' basket. As a result BBT never made it on to my radar.

Do I need to go back to the beginning, or can I just graze E4 for whatever's on? I'd prefer the beginning, tbh. I am a scientist with ocd tendencies. Where do I find series 1?

The new series is series 5. You can get 1-4 on DVD. TBH I have just dipped in and out, but like each episode and you do pick up what's what regarding characters.

E4 and C4 at the moment.

Spend actual money on DVDs? Good lord.

Love both, eldest son a robotic engineer so big bang close to home!!! As usual peripheral characters as in the moms in big bang are excellent.

I have hated friends with a passion since the beginning, it's the canned laughter a d pause for the punch line I can't stand!

Big bang is amazing Grin

They can't be compared. TBBT is amazing though. It shouldn't work but it really does.

I love BBT, and I used to watch Friends if there was nothing else on. It is quite funny, but I much prefer BBT.

I am a massive geek though...

I will admit to being amazingly surprised that Amy was Blossom though. I kept seeing the name Mayim Bialik and I just KNEW it was from something I recognised...but I had to Google it. She is a Dr as well...which is just awesome...

YANBU.

I love BBT. Much much more than I liked Friends when it was on.

But then I do like all the geeky stuff Grin

Amy was Blossom?! Wow!
