More so than fake Becky, who was atrocious (an entirely different character, as was Mark when she came along) I hated the whole show by that point. The show took on a different tone and tried forcing weak jokes. By the time they won the lottery I gave up.
Are you bragging or confessing? Most of those show are "meh", but you have never seen an episode of Friends, Seinfeld or Roseanne? Do you live in a sub-Saharan African village without electricity?
I watched the first few seasons of "Friends," and several episodes of "Seinfeld," which I thought was wildly overrated, but damn, most pre-21st century TV was insipid and forgettable.

I am pretty sure I have never seen a full episode of any of those shows. And not even part of an episode of most of them.

@Macguffin 54: Yeah, "Roseanne" was one of the best sitcoms of all time for a handful of years ... and then it wasn't.
