    This episode was great! I wasn't aware of James until I first heard him on "Smartless", but now I really like him. He has all these years of work experience with a lot of wisdom to share.
    And his thoughts on the current state of the industry and how much it has changed were really insightful.

    The only one I think that worked really well bringing in a star was Bryan Cranston to do Breaking Bad. I think it made the whole ' breaking bad' part of the show work better because for the first half of the first season, many of us saw 'Hal'... and so the character transformation worked really well. If they had used an unknown actor or a guy who played bad guys before, we wouldn't have felt that huge shift from goofy Hal to a guy running people over with his car.

      That story refers to the EXECUTIVES not Jim Burrows or the Friends cast. If you want to be salty, as least be right and not misdirect your comments at the wrong people. But I guess that would require research which you're obviously too lazy to do. Living Single was only good for 4 Seasons anyways, so stay mad.

    Friends was an okay "hang out" sitcom but it wasn't funny. Watch a couple of scenes here on youtube without the laugh track and you'll see what I mean.

    • @raveoreynolds6049
      @raveoreynolds6049 Рік тому +2

      But the comedy is MADE for, and acted around, the existence of a laugh track. It's the equivalent of saying a song sucks if you remove the instruments.

    • @Daniel_Ilyich
      @Daniel_Ilyich Рік тому +2

      @@raveoreynolds6049 Comedy is made so that people laugh. Not the other way around. Friends was taped in front of a live audience, but each 22 minute episode took 6 hours to make. So, a lot of the laughter was taped. Canned laughter is a way to manipulate TV viewers into laughing even when their genuine reaction would be to not laugh. I'm not saying that there weren't funny moments or that none of the characters had charm. I'm just saying that I didn't find the show to be that funny. I actually wish that there weren't audiences for TV shows. I want to laugh because I find something funny, not via a Pavlovian priming to laugh vis-a-vis a laugh track.
