"I wasn't allowed to watch Friends because my parents deemed it 'too adult.' However, Frasier and The Simpsons were fair game and we watched them every week. At the time I didn't question it, but years later my parents admitted they just didn't like Friends. In hindsight, they are nuts; The Simpsons is WAY more adult and Frasier is just a ridiculous show for an 8-year-old to watch." — Mary White, copy chief
"I wasn't allowed to watch Friends because there was 'too much sex' but for some reason we watched Seinfeld every night together? I wasn't allowed to watch Buffy, but I snuck it anyway, and I actually wasn't even allowed to watch Ren & Stimpy until I was way older. My mom said because it was morbid, but really I think it's just because she hated it." — Hilary White, editor, Love
"I was allowed to watch Friends up until I was about 8, but one of my mom's friends flipped out when she discovered I could and convinced my mom to forbid it from our household. That lady actually requested me on Facebook two years ago, but I've let her wither in limbo ever since. In other words, looks like we won't be . . . friends . . . anytime soon (I'll see myself out)." — Quinn Keaney, assistant editor, Celebrity and Entertainment
