By not very good, you mean one of the best that is still discussed years after it ended? Friends, by nearly all requirements, is an example of a great sitcom.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

This thread is about right. For Sienfeld we remember the great comic moments like "No soup for you". Here we're discussing one of the worst relationships in TV history.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

However, both of them were put together(ish, a show was usually between them, IIRC) on Thursday nights on NBC for Friends' first 3 years (and Seinfeld's last 3). People usually watched the 2 hour block of comedies from 8pm to 10pm EST - you know, "Must See TV". People tended to watch both and whatever was in between the two (which gave huge ratings boosts to the various 8:30pm EST shows that would get moved somewhere else after its base was enshrined).
Friends was actually quite a good comedy for the first 3-4 seasons and then it became too soap operatic. The pushing for a true ensemble comedy was a great move by the series creators (NBC wanted to do a dominant story line and secondary story lines & wanted one older character because it seemed the six were "too young"). It was highly influential.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
