RECEPTIONIST: Oh I love the show Friends. It's my all-time favorite show. I live for that show. I'll definitely buy the video of the last episode, even though I taped it already. I just like everyone to know I'm a friend-a-holic. But at the same time I'm looking forward to the show Joey. I guess it kind of figures that they'd pick the dumbest character for a spin-off, but then again that's what makes it funny, plus that means I don't have to think as much when I watch it. |

UNKNOWN SKEPTIC: All that show is, like many other programs on television, is a diversion from what's really going on in the world behind the mask of fighting terrorism. What's really going on is an attempt by the global banking system to control the resources of other countries. It all falls under the umbrella of the New World Order.
It can best be understood as "friendly fascism." They try to make us feel good about losing our rights and sitcoms factor into the equation, I'm sorry to say. |

SKULL MADISON: I really hate that show because, let's face it, it's just a diversion from what's really going on. I wish our government would just tell it to us straight that we're trying to take over the world and we don't need television to distract us. What are people gonna do once they understand the truth? Revolt? What a joke, half of the people in this country are already couch potatoes. The government needs to quit worrying about what the people think and just accelerate the New World Order so that our authority is clarified and not just some slow brewing rumour. |

DJ YOYO JO-Z: If people think they gotta see a TV show to get off, they should check out my gig every Friday night. We party like there's no tomorrow. TV is kinda stupid because all you do is sit there and watch while actors have all the fun. But today's scene ain't about bein' no star on TV. Everyone shines on the dance floor, especially since I bring my big screen video setup for people to trip on themselves. Man, people gotta get their lazy ass off the couch and jump to my show. That's how you make real friends. Ain't no TV show gonna make nobody no friends. Don't be fallin' for that false hype. Alls I can say is my show don't pretend to be nothin' but the real thing. |

JOE DOAKES: I mostly channel surf but I do enjoy the show Friends. Somehow I've been addicted to the show for nine straight years, even though it has become incredibly predictable. But I still laugh hard at a lot of the jokes maybe because I see myself in the stupidity of the characters. I think the show was good for America. It got our minds off all the depressing issues of the day and kind of brought back that eighties frat party vibe even though the characters kept getting older and older. It definitely reminded me that I was kind of a loser in my younger days and I sure missed out on a lot of fun, not that things have gotten much better since then. |

JENNIFER: It's a little too mainstream for my tastes, but at the same time it's not as horrible as almost everything else I've seen on television. I think Rachel was over-rated as a sex kitten and Monica was kind of a fading star. Phoebe or whatever her name was probably was the funniest, although the least realistic. I really can't name anyone else on the show because there were so many characters that I lost track of who was who, but all in all I gave the show a barely passing grade against a backdrop of mostly failed shows. |

CHUMPY SMITH: Even though it's a lightweight comedy, I admit I do watch it every now and then. Then again, that show has had its day. It's been running for like nine years and all of them are starting to look my age. I forget which one of the actors used to be a junkie, but that's the only interesting dark edge the show has ever had in my book. It's mostly a show for adults who wish they were teenagers pretending to be adults. The most annoying thing about the show is that they're all high paid puppets that mirror fabricated trends in social behavior. Kind of like repackaged candy-coated vomit.

WORKER JOE: Yeah, I like the show, I admit, only because my girlfriend makes me watch it. But whenever it's up against a basketball game, that's when we have our worst arguments. Worse than the arguments on Friends. But ya know, the show always has a happy ending and so do my fights with my woman. She always ends up seeing it my way and we end up watching the game. I always tell her that Friends will always come back as reruns, but games never come back, probably because once you know the outcome of a real event there's no use seein' it again. Funny how reality is disposable but bullsh*t is recyclable. |
