Yes.

It's a reason I don't put Friends (as popular as it was) into any Top X list for me. All the formulaic, repetitive space.

I don't hate Friends though, same as I don't dislike the predecessors.

I still want to know why the Howells brought record albums on the boat.

How many episodes of Friends use that trope? 4 or 5?

It always bugged me. If the Howells were so rich why would they be on that puny arse boat with the other folks. They would have charters a true yacht for just themselves.

The only show worse than GI is The Beverly Hillbillies.

For being on an uncharted island, they got a steady stream of visitors. Everything from rock bands to butterfly collectors to Hollywood producers.

Who were all able to come and go as they pleased. While those 7 remained stuck there.

You just don’t appreciate the comic genius that was Milburn Drysdale.

He made that show, IMHO.

Now, take "Hogan's Heroes"------the premise of the show is that the German's running the prison camp are totally inept, haven't got a clue as to the secret goings on that the Allied prisoners are undertaking

Good Lord. Beverly Hillbillies is one of the greatest comedies ever put on television.

Hey, It's not the professor's fault that dumb arse Gilligan kept the cover on that glue that caused it to explode and cover them with glue, and get covered with feathers when they chased him into the hut. The professor got that satellite working to take those pictures and broadcast it back to NASA
I watched that episode more that 50 years ago and remember it like it was yesterday. Loved me some Gilligan after school back in the day.

Don't forget the Harlem Globetrotters.

That was one of my main gripes with the movie Castaway. They did a good of capturing the essence of an isolated island but the fact that we never got to see Tom Hanks dunk Wilson on a makeshift goal against a plane wrecked basketball team of funny black dudes was a huge miss for that movie.
