Ross

[Superstar]

What does everybody think of Ross? I really don't like him, he's not funny and I think he's a pretty pointless character.

Ummmm, I am not really too sure about Ross. I couldn't stand him in the first three or four seasons, but afterwards, his character got a little more interesting. He's really not a bad guy...he's just a tad bit boring. I don't think of him as a pointless character...true, he may not be the most interesting of the group, but I think he's a needed character to help show just how different each of the friends really are even though they are so much alike--especially considering that they are all always hanging out with each other and love each other like they do.

Actually he and Chandler were basically my favorites for most of the run of the show. I had also liked him when he guest starred a couple of times on The Wonder Years.

I thought he was hilarious!! I love the subtle facial expressions he'd get. Especially the when he was The Holiday Armadillo!!!

I agree with Shordie's take - that his character helped balance out the group. He played the "nerd" role really.

If anyone, I found Rachel's character the most annoying (but still like Jennifer Aniston).

Ross is my favorite character. in most polls he is voted as annoying or least liked. I like him because he is like an everyman,,he makes mistakes and then he tries to learn from them, he is eternally searching for the love of his life and does find them. He is intelligent by the world 's standards , but yet he keeps doing stupid things or saying the wrong things. He wears his heart on his sleeve and is very romantic. Also the actor who played him David Schwimmer is very talented and very good looking.

I could always identify with Ross, especially in the early seasons when he was pining for Rachel; always trying to find the right moment to tell her how he felt; I've been there too.

I really like him in the begining especially in season one when he tries to get the nerve to ask Rachel out. Starting in season five he started to go somewhat crazy. Watching for the first time I thought I was unrealistic but when I watched over agian I found it funny. I always liked the dedication he had to his career even though the others think it's the most boring thing.

I found Ross a bit annoying in the early seasons, but was sympathetic to a point. The whole wife lesbian with the new girlfriend having his baby thing (aint that a mouthful) was enough to make any man say, "I would never put up with this sh-t"

Ross did get better as time went along, epsecially after he and Rachel were about to get back together but didn't, and he had enough and said maybe his best line, "'hhhh hhhh (fake sobs)- fine by me!"

When I first began watching the show, Joey was my least favorite of the guys. As things progressed, Joey jumped up to second place and Ross dropped to third. Chandler has always been the funniest of the male characters, in my opinion.

I liked Ross at first, but as the seasons progressed, he got whinier and weirder and beyond neurotic. I also got tired of the way the Ross/Rachel thing went back and forth. I also didn't think it was right they had a baby out of wedlock, but I'm not going to sermonize here. Just my opinion, that's all.

This was definitely a TV show, because how else could you explain him constantly attracting all these beautiful girls?? And the fact that some of them stuck around more than one episode?? It's not because of his looks that I say this, but rather, his needy, neurotic ways.

Ross started out as a lovable dork, but seemed more disturbed as the seasons went on.

I absolutely loved Ross's character in the first four seasons, but after his second divorce, his character was done such an injustice that he never really recovered from, becoming emotionally disturbed at the slightest problem that occurred in his life. He was funnier, yes, but no longer in character.
