Debating About Friends After Watching for the First Time

I feel like so many people in my life love the show Friends that it was a crime that I hadn’t seen it. So I squeezed it in recently, and while I can say that I appreciate it, I don’t think it is as special to me as it is for everyone else. It is enjoyable for what it is, but I think the reason that people loved it so much is that they were living with it. Like, they had to wait week by week for the next thing to happen, kind of like how I loved shows like Big Time Rush, Hannah Montana, or The Vampire Diaries. They’re so memorable because I remember being invested in the characters, being upset by the cliff hangers, and just having a little escape from life.

Anyway, for this blog post, I thought I would tackle some of the major debates about the show since Thanksgiving is around the corner. For me, the show really gives me Thanksgiving vibes, so that is my logic.

Since I’m not invested in this season yet, I didn’t want to write a blog post with speculations and predictions. Instead, I wanted to take an idea The Bachelor producers had in 2020 and redo it with my input. Since they weren’t able to film, they did season of looking back and declaring the most notable seasons, but I don’t agree with the ones they chose. Now that The Greatest Seasons is over, I actually have my own opinion on which seasons would be on my list. Keep reading to find out my top 3 seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.
