The first three seasons is where it's at, after that it becomes formulaic. Characters become caricatures of themselves which is disappointing. In saying that though, the cast have such a great dynamic together.
Friends is really easy to watch, which for me has ultimately become it's drawback, as I've seen the episodes too many times. I find myself getting annoyed with the characters now more often than I did 10 years ago, which has altered my perception of the show. Seinfeld's strength is Friends' weakness, given Seinfeld has no overarching storyline (with minor references in some episodes to past episodes), the episodes become standalone, giving Seinfeld the unparalleled advantage on focusing purely on the characters and their nuances in certain situations.
