I am kinda interested in how people compare the 2 giant 90's sitcoms Seinfeld and Friends, where are you, where do you stand?

I am firmly a Seinfeld person, Friends seems too millenial and preppy to me, i am very into the idea of getting Friends on dvd and getting a better view of what it was all about, but from what i recall through broadcast television Friends had no stand out moments, it didn't take hold, it was meant for other people, but i can still go out and enjoy it, that is the great thing about reappraising things, you get to look back in the now, the past that may have been seen as lacking may be better than it was, but enuff about me, which show was definitive for you ... and thanks in advance for any feedback :)

The problem with character driven comedy is that you need to see character growth.
You can't keep rooting for the 'loser' because it gets old very quickly.
And for me, both did.

@Picklebobble2 From what i know Friends was the more character driven of the two, but i fail to see how that would make it better.

@SW-User Because they just go round and round in the same cycle of attempt and loss and poor me.
If you could see growth. If you could see improvement. You'd keep rooting for the characters.
