Why does everybody on TV have to be beautiful? Diversity will make its greatest strides when plain and ugly people are well represented.

The show has made quite the comeback with Gen Z. Pretty amazing! I can't recall this happening with any other sitcom... ever. I see many young people wearing "Friends" t-shirts, a show that came out before most were born. The theory being that actually sitting down and talking and interacting with friends is more preferable than texting all the time, and this is a novelty to gen Z.

To keep that money train-a- rolling, the creator plays it smart, catering to gen Z criticisms and sensibilities. Don't want to appear racist.

I would do the same.

this is just insanity

So pathetic.

Some of them are actually Jewish, just saying.

Besides, people of all races were able to watch the show and enjoy it, the Reunion showed that. So clearly having a mostly light-skinned cast wasn’t an issue, dark-skinners were able to relate to the characters anyway.

reply

Jewish is not a race. Most Jews are white people.

reply

Oh they're a race all right, and they might have light skin, but they're not white people.

So it's only NOW that she must atone for her sin? She is a co-creator - meaning that she sat in on creative meetings with the following (hilarious) lines of dialog:

"Very funny, Ross is gay, ha ha"

"... and there's DADDY"... (Chandler referring to his tranny dad in drag)

Chandler's Dad (to Chandler's mom) : "Aren't you a little old to wear a dress like that?"
Chandler's Mom (responding) : "Don't you have a little too much penis for a dress like that?"

Phoebe: Yeah, we can vote and drive, what more do these broads want?"

E-FUCKING-NOUGH with this shit. I'll bet Marta enjoyed the merry motherfuck out of those millions she made in syndication for damn near twenty years. Fuck up outta here with this.... "atonement".

I would love to know who shook her down for such idiocy.
