I actually liked the way some of season one was done. I like some of the conversations the character had about random things - it made them seem like really people (not that they didn't in other episodes), but I just think Friends could have kept more of this from season one, and still been the same show. I understand them getting rid of certain things, like the Mr. Heckles running joke (clich of the era or not, they would have run out of things for him to do eventually), but I think that discussions of season one could have stayed.

It became a hit after season 1. Nice try though!
I was actually in my 20s when the show first aired and remember how it was an immediate hit from day one with that age group.
Just look at the viewer ratings of season one which isn't any lower than following seasons. Nice try to you. -

You're wrong. I'm in the UK and was 18/19 when the 1st season premiered here in April 1995. There was a lot of press and public interest in the new HIT American show that was about to start. It was already a success.

I've always felt the same way. Season 1's camera quality and clothing and hairstyles seem drastically more dated than even S2. But a lot of the humor is what I don't like. Lines like, "that was Joey tribbiani with the big picture," and "this is where you use that hello word we talked about" are jut not funny and that kind of humor isn't present in later seasons. There are a lot of moments and episodes that I really do like, but every time I re-watch the series I feel a little bit like I have make it through S1.

The first couple of episodes are a bit awkward looking back, but the rest of the season is classic. I count season 1 among the best 5 seasons, I think it's even better than season 5. I also agree that it has a more cozy atmosphere, I like that, it's very nostalgic.

I think it's odd to watch because we know who they ended up with. So seeing Monica have a one night stand almost feels like she is cheating. I know that was the 1st episode.
They slept with a lot of people in the first few seasons. I think Chandler the least. I haven't counted because that would bewell stupid. Those are my thoughts. -

When I watch it, the reason it feels dated to me is the fashion. The fashion would seem most dated because Season 1 is the longest period of time in the show from our current trends. For example, the show ran during the time when women transitioned from having more natural style hair to relying on flat irons. We also see that jeans become lower rise during the course of the show. 1996 still embraced the high waist look. So even though the fashion in the last season is dated as well, it's still closer in basic style trends to what we have now than season 1.
Of course, Season 1 is also before the internet became an every day, huge thing that most everyone has access to, before cell phones, etc. So there are definitely other things.
