Friends season 2 is on

Joey was a normal person in season one. By season ten he had a very severe special needs retardation, they literally confirmed that in the French episode.

I liked Chandler.

I never took any warming to Courtney Cox or Lisa Kurdrow. Not in this, not in anything they've ever appeared in. Not quite sure why.

thought it has aged badly but still some fine comic acting and some great scripts. American shows seem to go on too long until every single situation has been repeated to the point of tedium. It's a factory with about 20 writers and is great for about 50 episodes but then they usually start to fade and get silly.

Michael Jackson spotted in Friends:

Very young friends. 

This can get into potentially tricky ground.

If a woman were to surround herself with children and grant their fantasies to carnivals and zoos and give their careers a step up turning them into A-list choreographers and onscreen stars in music videos, …. would there be this much suspicion and outrage?

I'm only going by what I've seen thus far.  He was acquitted as I recall, found not guilty unanimously.  These accusers testified under oath, and now that they're broke, they're reversing their story and seeking millions in damages.

That being said, I also *do* see the other side, as I was abused as a child, and it took decades before I admitted it.  It was a parent, and I lied (by omission and never asked anyone for help and never knew what was happening to me was wrong).  I remember asking for it to stop because of the pain.  It only stopped at 11 because I said to a friend:  "Doesn't it hurt when your (parent) does (this) to you?"  And my friend looked confused and said, "They don't do that."  I went home and told my (parent) of what my friend said, it doesn't happen in her household.  And it stopped forever.

So I'm not blind to how children who have been molested can be shunted into silence.  However, there's still a part of me that recognizes Jackson never had a childhood of his own and was run as a money maker by his overbearing and very abusive father.  Michael never had a chance to be a real child, and perhaps, just perhaps, there is innocence in this.

I don't know the truth, just saying I'm willing to admit there are usually two sides or more to every story being pedaled.  

It's now into series 2. This is the crap stuff I remember. Endless, unfunny back and forth over Ross and Rachael. I think this story line lasts all the way to the end of series 3.
