For a show supposedly aimed towards women.......
.......Did anyone notice that they killed off more women characters after introducing them than they killed off men? In ten whole seasons, they killed off one man and five women. Anyone notice that? Kind of bothers me.

The characters they killed off were:
1. Mr. Heckles
2. Estelle
3. Johanna
4. Nana
5. Phoebe's grandmother
Six people killed off, one man and five women, it's almost like they expect men to live forever and women to die quick. And the reason I didn't mention people like Phoebe's adoptive mother, Pop-Pop or Aunt Phyllis, it's because they never appeared on screen. I'm just recounting the people who were introduced on screen, getting killed off. Let's stay on topic:
One man died, that was old Mr. Heckles.
Johanna's death is ironic because she died by running into traffic without looking both ways, and yet there was an episode centered around a nameless man who ran into traffic without looking both ways---but he survived!...Yeah, he looked at Monica and Phoebe, that's why he couldn't look both ways before crossing the street=!
OKAY but, little lesson in anatomy, you can survive getting hit by a car---I learned that the hard way it is not funny, it is not fun, and I also know that if you are being kept alive on life support the way that man was---you would not live, you would die in real life. They call it life support but your brain activity shuts down, your organs stop, and it's just a matter of time before your family takes you off the machine so you die permanently. Probably shouldn't be called life support anyway.
Let me know if I overlooked any character death, but it won't change a thing or matter; because I know if I forgot the death of an on screen character it would still be a woman not a man.
