Yeah, the last few were average but had their moments. No sitcom can even come close to the 1st few seasons of Friends imo.
I think you should give HIMYM a try then. I say this as someone who now denies he even watched Friends, ever, . HIMYM grows on you. IMO once you get into it, it beats Friends hands down. How many episodes have you watched so far?
Haha, I didn't want to watch the series based on that pilot too. I gave it another go when a friend pestered me to give it another try.
