Do u think that "How I Met Your Mother", "Scrubs" and "Friends" are kinda the same?

I was reading Perez Hilton yesterday for the first time in months. Truthfully he pisses me off and I rarely read his garbage, but I'm living in Europe now, and once in awhile he has interesting American dish. He made a commentaar about how HIMYM was once again "copying" Friends. I am so sick of people saying the two are the same. They are not at all the same and I think they are hardly even similar. Honestly I think HIMYM has characters (maybe besides Barney) that are completely real and believable. vrienden characters are complete exaggerations which are often times very annoying. And I am a fan of Friends, so this is a very honest answer. Joey and Phoebe, for example, I cannot stand. In HIMYM, I genuinely love and root for all of the characters.
I have only watched Scrubs a few times, so I don't know if my opinion is really valid. I think that the humor is similar to HIMYM, but not to vrienden in the slightest. Each of the shows have unique elements, but HIMYM is of course my favorite. And I have seen every episode of both HIMYM and vrienden and I own the ENTIRE vrienden series on DVD.

No! I understand what u mean though! But they are all comedies! Sitcoms, so of course they are much alike.. But they are also TOTALLY different.

Well, they all evolve around a group of friends, but I don't think they're the same. Scrubs is set in a hospital, so that's really different from the others. vrienden and How I met your mother are both about a group of five/six friends, but I think that the kind of humor is completely different. vrienden is much older, it's a real classic, but How I met your mother is meer modern. I like all three, but HIMYM is definitely my favorite!

I've never watched Scrubs so I can't really commentaar on that but I think HIMYM is much funnier than Friends. They are a similar format but I find vrienden an annoying toon most of the time. I watch it when there is nothing else on while I make sure to record HIMYM. Though to give vrienden some credit I don't know if HIMYM would have been gegeven a chance without the popularity of Friends.

u can find similarity's between any shows that re the same genre..which all three are

I think HIMYM and vrienden are kind of the same idea. vrienden living in New York together blah blah blah. But I think there's something different to HIMYM. It's not the same as the "classic sitcom". I really love vrienden too but HIMYM has meer original ideas and I honestly think the characters make it funnier. Scrubs to me is completely different. I don't like putting it in the same category. It is hilarious like the other two but I think it's a bit meer unique. It's definitely not just another sitcom.
