Yellow Bird: A goodbye to Friends and Frasier!
Monday, May 17, 2004

""Friends" and "Frasier" are sitcoms that I have watched off and on over the years. I can't say I always was a fan of "Friends." At first, I didn't like the show because I thought it was too East Coast, too "New Yorkish" and too far from my lifestyle. It certainly wasn't diverse as far as characters were concerned; there were few, if any, people of color, which I found unusual for a New York-based show.

But I found myself watching it a few years ago because I didn't want to be rude and switch channels when my children were watching the show. After that episode, I couldn't help but be drawn into the comic nature of "Friends." It was funny."
