Friends:

Even among the homeless, “The
Friends” is a must-discuss: Phoebe’s long climb from the depths of depression,
Ross’s bout with sexual indeterminacy, Monica’s adorable, curmudgeonly joi de
vivre, Rachel’s hair, Chandler’s weight problem.

Some might say it’s all simply melodrama — but some say, too, that
Shakespeare and Sophocles were hacks. There’s no accounting for taste,
perhaps.
