Problems with Season 7?

I thought I would rant on some of the things I have been thinking about in season 7:

   * Is it just me, or does Monica often use deprecating humour towards
     Chandler, in the sense that she often questions her choice of him
     as a fiancee? (ex. "Those are my puppy dog eyes? Why did you ever
     sleep with me?" "Don't pull on that string.", etc)
   * How come Ben doesnt seem that affectionate towards Ross? They dont
     seem very father-son like...

Sorry about the HTML...I thought I posted it in both forms....Happy Toucan is definetly a HE!!

To summarize what I wrote, I just thought that it seemed weird that Ross and Ben dont seem very father-son like....there is no emotion or closeness between them...I also mentioned how Monica has begun to make fun of Chandler a lot and question her self about their engagement....although jokingly...

Come on!

This person posted a message and wants a reply. Who cares how the message was posted!!!

Yes, I have noticed that about Monica. Wouldn't worry about it though, since we already know how relieved she is that she has found somebody.

Ross and Ben = NOT REAL FAMILY They can't get that affectionate!

What do you mean that Ross and Ben arent real family? They are father and son. Just because a child's parents are separated does not mean that the family ceases to exist and the parental roles change. A man is no less a father just because he cant see his child everyday...Thats no excuse....

Monica is mean to Chandler. That's one of the reasons I don't like the couple. Of course, much of the humor these days is mean.

Because it's hard to find a good child actor, and these writers don't mine a lot of humor out of writing kind things about Ross.

By the way, to the poster who said Ross and Ben weren't real family: that is a factual error. Ross is indeed 100% Ben's biological father.

Actually, she hasn't been very mean this season to anyone. Phoebe's also been nicer too.

Which kind of raises the paradoxical point, you can't know if the show has improved without taping it but you wont tape it because you don't know if its improved.

Now see, I've never thought of Monica as mean. I've always thought of her as high-strung.

As for Ross and Ben, at least the writers still mention Ross has a son. Remember Chuck from "Happy Days"? He was Richie and Joanie's older brother. Whatever happened to that dude?

She hasn't been mean to him in late Season 6, or Season 7 so far.
