Friends and Seinfeld


I seem to see similar plots in Seinfeld and Friends episodes...just came across one more - the money (Seinfeld) and the Jam (Friends)
The concept seemed the same Kramer doesn't want his girl to sleep in the same bed after sex and Chandler too has the same issue. Not sure who copied whom?

It might've been a case of simultaneous generation, too.

More important than the premise, though, is the execution, and although the idea is the same, how it plays out feels radically different thanks to the well-defined, distinctive characters on each show.

Did Friends ever do anything original?

Isn’t Seinfeld geared towards younger Boomers while Friends is geared towards older Gen Xers?
