“Not the same sensitivity”
“There is a whole generation of people, of children, who when they watch episodes of Friends Today, find them offensive. There are things that were never intentional and things that maybe should have been thought twice about – but I don’t think there was the same sensitivity back then as there is now .” According to Jennifer Aniston, this development is a “tragedy” and perhaps explains why there are fewer comedies in recent years than there used to be.
