If I did die it would shock people but it wouldn’t surprise anybody
—Matthew Perry

I had a complicated relationship with ‘F.R.I.E.N.D.S.’—often it was too schmaltzy, too “feel good”, maybe a tad too sentimental, it didn’t have the edge that ‘Seinfeld’ did—when I re-watch episodes of  ‘Seinfeld’— “the show about nothing”—it never seems outdated. ‘F.R.I.E.N.D.S.’ not so much.
