Six friends, all about 30 years old, live their lives in New York City. Plots touch on love lives, life at the workplace and, of course, friendship. The quirky humor is almost always tasteful, and appropriate for nearly all age groups. It is in its eighth season as well, and is still going strong, with the respect and attention of audiences and critics nationwide. Although these shows are my personal favorites, it can't be denied that they are universally good shows.
Audiences change because society changes.
Society is the audience and the public eye. To keep up with this, culture and television must change and evolve to fit our needs and wants. If the quality were judged on majority opinion, then many shows would fail and remain ignored, making it something of great significance when a show is of high quality and well-liked.
