I never got a complex from watching Friends, although it did skew my idea of how much apartments cost in New York.

Here endeth my Friends dissertation.

Jennifer Aniston is the best example of what happened to actresses in the 90s. She started out normal thin and went to as skinny as humanly possible Actresses were always thin, but they used to look like they ate and there was some natural variation.

Also, despite all the Monica fat jokes, they never restricted what she ate on the show. She's portrayed as having a pretty healthy relationship with food, is a chef, seems to eat what she wants, etc. In fact, if there's one thing I would say Friends excelled at, it was showing three incredibly self-confident women who love their bodies.
"...over the years the men were allowed to gain weight but the women were not." This is just not true. Lisa Kudrow consistently gained weight over the course of the show -- if you look at the first season, she's tiny, probably the same size as Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox, but while they get smaller, Kudrow only gets curvier.
