On The Sexual Proclivities of Friends

This list is a great idea but so far off. I stumbled on this when looking up the most popular character on the show. As a journalist myself it amazes me as to what would possess someone to write about one of the most popular shows on TV, which airs 10 times a day in some markets and has millions of fans,and be wrong about every character. No, you don't need to sit and watch every episode, BUT, many many people have seen them all numerous times,so why would you attempt to do this if you're not among those people? I wouldn't try to write a detailed article about Star Trek having seen maybe 20 episodes. The Trekies would tear me apart. The point is, the list is a fun idea,but shows how someone can post anything on the Internet, even if it is way off. There are about a dozen people listed that the characters clearly did not sleep with, such as Chandler with Joey's sister or Rachel's work associate whom she kisses at a party. There are others like the phone machine girl who Chandler did sleep with or the guy living upstairs from Monica whom Phoebe ends up sleeping with and they can hear it through the ceiling. Then there are assumptions about characters that they went on one date with. Watch the show, know the characters, know what the producers and writers would and would not have them do before you do "research" on a show.
