Friends, HIMYM, & New Girl
Rachel, Robin & Jess The Main Character These are the main characters of their respective shows, yes they are all ensemble casts but the show simply wouldn’t exist without these 3. All of the other characters' actions and main storylines are set into motion with the introduction of these women and the progression of any story or character growth is contingent upon their existence.

The Last of Us
So like I’ve said before zombies are not my thing and the clickers or whatever in the Last of Us are super creepy and gross, which leaves me wondering every episode if I am going to continue watching this show. The problem is that the writing is so good, it's very hard to pass. So let's dive into my thoughts on episodes 3&4.

Friends, New Girl & HIMYM
Joey, Barney & Schmitt The Womanizer This is possibly the most direct comparison, as all of these men are written to be redeemable and charming and charismatic but if you think about their actions, they are absolutely terrible people.

Underrated 'Friends' Quotes To Use in Everyday Life
"Friends" is one of the most popular sitcoms of all time, if not the most popular. It boasts 10 seasons and is filled with countless hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking plot lines. It is insanely quotable, and its fans know this! You can find a number of merchandise options with quotes like, "Joey doesn't share food!", "He's her lobster", and, yes, "Pivot!". While these are great, funny, and pivotal (no pun intended) quotes, there are so many more subtle and accessible quotes in the show that I use in many situations. Here are the top 10 quotes that we should be overusing from "Friends" rather than the ones we use now.

Friends, New Girl, & HIMYM
So the internet loves to dissect the personalities and flaws of TV and film characters all the time. We all know that it's one of my favorite things to do. One of the things that pops up on my social media a lot is the analysis of Friends and How I Met Your Mother so I thought I would throw my two cents in. I will be analyzing the similarities of these shows and their characters, how they are really all bad people and adding in New Girl because all three shows are self-contained around an ensemble cast who are all friends with rather incestuous relations. Now each of these shows has similar sets of characters that we will be analyzing from most to least awful.
