Hi,

Enjoyed watching friends the odd time we caught it on the TV.
Does anybody know what times it's on at?

It's one of these shows that me and my wife both laugh out loud at.

If you have a computer. If you have internet. You have "Friends"; can't say where or how. If you want to, PM me about it. Other than that. I believe that the channel "Onstyle" airs the show. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I used to have Skylife and now have regular cable so I'm not sure about showtimes or channels, but I do know the times aren't exact. I haven't even seen Friends since I got back (last week).

As for internet, I had one site I could just watch online but suddenly all the episodes were gone, and another site would take FOREVER to download. I planned on using bittorrent, but I don't really want to download the whole series as that would take up most of my hard drive. I'm thinking of buying the dvds somewhere, do they sell them on the side of the road or is that mostly movies?

You download the series, put them on regular DVDs and erase them from your hard drive. Job well done! DVD's are pretty cheap here.

Ah! I've never burned a dvd on this computer before so I forgot that was an option. Good call!

Click here to find daily schedules for OCN, Super Action, On Style, Story On, & Catch On. You need to be able to read Korean, though. Click on the channel you want on the top column on the left, or at the bottom of the page under 평성표 (pyeong seong pyo).

you are aware that even tho the show is allegedly in New York, New Yorkers consider it an abmoniation of phoniness, absurdity and absolute fantasy?

Thanks for the link Kimhci Cowboy.

I wouldn't say smelly cat is not an example of the cleverness of the show that made it such a hit, forgettable lyrics but with a catchy tune.

I've forgotten lots of the great one-liners, with the prefect delivery thereof.
Timing, facial expressions and just funny stuff.


Not so easy to find good humour that isn't marred by unwholesome talk or crude innuendo.
Friends has that timeless genuine quality, though probably not everyones cup of latte.

complete crap, friends is a rubbish show. If you want decent funny sitcoms, as you said you dont want crude ones, watch red dwarf or seinfeld
