Ok.. here's a new topic that I thought I'd start off.. maybe we've talked about this numerous times.... but I don't remember

Name usage on Friends

is it me, or do they uses names like Caitlin/Katie/Kate a fair amount on the show?

also...they dont often go for tradition names, often using bizarre, but very interesting names such as Tag

this is coming from the girl who desperately wanted her name to be used on the show.. and when they finally did use it, they used it as Chandler's gay dad's female celebrity persona, if you remember correctly.

*h runs away and hides*

Don't worry Helena, those lists were just generated from the IMDb, I can do it at the drop of a hat. Any other sitcoms you'd like to see listed?
