Not the best...but still good. I am a huge fan of this show and have been for awhile, so I think I can honestly say I know a good season from a bad one. Story arcs, character development, general storylines and developments, etc. and just the overall funniess of the jokes are not as good here as previous seasons. Personally, I think the first 6 are the best, and each one since has been compartively weaker than the last. While this season has some great moments, the stories are just really lacking and show the obvious strain the writers were coming up with for compelling situations. They didn't really switch things up or try anything new or interesting here (like say Will & Grace has this past year) and so it just sort of feels dissapointing. The Rachel-Joey arc has always been really unconvincing to me, and for me this has been the real downfall of the show. But the acting is terrific as always and I especially love Courtney Cox and David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc, who show some fantastic acting skills throughout.
