So I gave both seasons a "9.3" but both aren't equal in the same way. Visually season 2 is more cinematic. I also like how the original music is used here much better (opening is much better too). But plot-wise the 1st season is stronger, as the 2nd season is a bit scattered and relies conveniences too often.

That's a good point. I also vastly enjoy season one more than two and I think it's because in S1 it was much more about his relationship with his son and his family and his focus on his career. The love interest angle always felt forced to me in S2. It reminded me when they gave the Perfect Strangers girlfriends and changed the vibe of the show. They were supposed to be undateable morons. Similarly Jay was supposed to be undateable for various other reasons.

Nothing really. It just sort of stands out compared to a lot of stuff today. It also stands out because there were barely any secondary non-white characters. Like I mean, there were a few, but idk statistically speaking it does seem weird that there so few in one of the most multicultural cities in the world. All I can remember are two girlfriends of Ross. One in the early seasons and one in the later seasons.
