i am sure there are tons of articles written about s&tC but it did encourage the popularity of boozy brunches, overpriced cupcake chains, move to nyc so it can be your very homogenous dream mall etc. etc.

Lol, Seinfeld knocks Friends out a the weigh in and Friends is so shook it never bothers showing at the match.

And I think Seinfeld has dated rather poorly in some respects.

Neither Seinfeld nor Friends takes place in NYC. Both are located in a dream world that exists nowhere on earth, inhabited by characters who are more homunculi than humans. You may as well say that Plautus 'ruined Rome' as that either one of these phantasms 'ruined NYC'.

I can't even explain why I found Friends far less insufferable than Seinfeld, on which it was ostensibly based.

Friends beat Seinfeld at its own game; it truly is a show about nothing

S&tC and Girls did seem to show NY in a way that the earlier sitcoms didn't

Friends and Seinfeld were filmed in Los Angeles
