Friends Finale *Spoilers

<< < (5/6) > >>

Trauma-san:
^ Well, if you're judging by that, then Bruce Springsteen isn't even on Michael Jackson's radar as far as album sales.... which is it?  Do numbers matter, or not?  

Shallow:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Let me tell you how that makes less sense than you thought it did

1) Record sales and ratings are completely different. The record sales show who will pay for something and how well it is marketed. Jackson's marketing schemes were way more advanced than Bruce's. Jackson's whole thing was selling himself to the public. Bruce merely expressed his feelings through song.

2) If you look at total album sales for there market, (the U.S.A.) Jackson only sold like a few, very few, million more copies.

3) TV is free, and Seinfeld and Friends have had the exact same treatment. The diffence is 25 million less people didn't care enough about Friends as they did Seinfeld. And both are marketed to the same audience, as opposed to springsteen and Jackson who are for completely different types of buyers, listeners.

4) I was initially referring to quality of comedy. Seinfeld is the best pure comedy of all time, every occurance leads to a funny joke, or moment. Friends is good, even great sometimes, but Seinfeld along with a few others, Mash, The Cosby Show, Cheers to an extent, share a certain essence that makes them legendary. In 200 years Seinfeld, Cosby, Mash, All in the Family will all be remembered, Friends will not be.


P.S. Leave Bruce out of this, he's the BOSS. (also I've said before I thought he was better than Jackson, not bigger. Both have very different reasons for existing as artists, Seinfeld and Friends exist for the same reason: To make stupid middle class white people laugh, and Seinfeld does that better.)

white Boy:
I like seinfeld too much to care about friends..

i watch the old reruns, but truthfully, i think it got too sappy, i like freinds for some of the humor, and chandler is hillarious, BUT

seinfeld is on a different level. It is pure genious. Each episode is perfectly writen. Each episode is hillarious even after watching it 20 times. This show is the BEST SHOW EVER, no contest.

Shallow:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It's nice to see some intelligent on the board. Thank you kind sir.

Doggystylin:
just because he agrees with your opinion hes intelligent? no, your ignorant, now its really stupid to argue that friends will not be remembered in 100 or 200 years, lets let time be the judge of that, you like seinfeld better, i don't, so what, your not going to change my view on the situation so just live happily with yours and leave others alone god damnit.
