OK, 'fess up - Did you watch the final "Friends?"

[AuroraGyps]

Of course I watched it. I've seen every episode. It really was one of the best scripted comedies out there in the post-Seinfeld world. It was never my absolute favorite (Scrubs rules Thursdays now!) but it had good, familiar characters who grew as the show continued. It even had a few classics, like the quiz show episode when the guys won Monica and Rachel's apartment.

"He's a...he's a TRANSPONSTER!"

"That's not even a word!"

That's my favorite episode too.
Paraphrased: Ross: What name appears on the TV Guide?
Rachel: Chandler gets it. Chandler Bing!
Ross: No, it's Chanandaler Bong.
Chandler: That's Ms Chanandaler Bong.

That's also the episode that Pheobe get's implanted with her brother & his wife's eggs.
Pheobe singing:
"Are you in there little fetus?
In nine months willl you come and greet us?
I will buy you some Adidas."

You're worried about Ross and Rachel's baby? What about Ross' other son? That kid disapeared off the face of the earth. Even his father seems to have forgotten about him.

Haha, that's true, forgot about that one too. They didn't seem to care for kids very much in that show. I mean even in that last episode, Chandler and Monica had their newborn kids for what, a couple hours? So what do they do?
Why they leave them ALONE across the hall while they disassemble the foosball table for who knows how long?!?

You're joking right? I used to love The Drew Carey show... until Kate left and they totally changed the show. It's weird, people act like she was never even on it and has only done Scrubs.

Actually, I have seen the one episode that featured Kate's departure (by marrying a military man and moving to Guam where he will be stationed). It was kinda sad because Drew did everything he could to sabotage the wedding, and vowing he won't attend, but he did. It then ended up him on the couch, numb, with his two buddies staying with him, watching the Mary Tyler Moore Show.

BTW, ABC is allowing the Drew Carey Show to close out the series run by airing the remaining final episodes during the summer. It's been a good run.

Oh, yeah. Friends is one of my most guiltiest of pleasure. Granted, I have watched some of the new shows the same time as Friends is on, like Survivor or WWF Smackdown! but I still go back. I taped the finale, even though next Tuesday they'll release that episode on DVD.

ABC will be running two brand new episodes twice a week from June to August to finish out the final season that they had contracted for.

And as for the Friends finale. I saw some of it. The only part that was even half-enjoyable was Monica destroying the foosball table, but even that didn't quite work as humor since she left the two newborn babies alone in the other apartment while she was doing that.

First look at 'Joey'.

What the man said.

Easily one of my top 5 shows and so far the best ending I´ve ever seen of a show. I will miss it so much. They have to make a Friends movie, there can be no other alternative.

With a small amount of pride I can say with complete honesty that I have never seen a single episode of the series.

 

[Viking Bastard]

Misplaced pride if I may say so.

Good ending to a excellent show. The last 2-3 seasons haven't been quite as good as the first 7 but there were some gems in there. My favorite episode is the one where they go to Vegas and Ross and Rachel end up getting hammered and then married and Joey discovers his identical hand twin.

Nope. Couldn't pay me to watch it.

Okay, that's not true. I'm pretty mercenary. You could pay me to watch it.

In truth, I think I've watched maybe 10 minutes of Friends during its entire run. I just, quite simply, don't have any opinion or interest in it.

Misplaced pride if I may say so.

Too true. Don't take pride in something that you never gave a chance to. Tetsubo & Mercule, you may have missed out on something that would have really entertained you. Yes, it was mainstream but that does not mean that it sucked or wasn't entertaining. There is a reason why it has been copied so many times in the last 10 year...
