Friends

[nexgod]

looking through the board, i couldnt see a thread which i thought was CRAZY!

how long do you think FRIENDS is gonna last?

[vnea36kr]

Well unfortunately this is their last season. I'm gonna miss Friends. :(

[willowaz]

me too! it's gonna be terible when they show the last episode, i may even cry...... or not!

it is definatly a classic comedy show!

[HuffyTheCampfireSlayer]

We will get the Joey spin-off, though. So it's not all bad. I just wonder how it'll go. It could be a flop, or it could go the way of Fraiser. I just hope they do it right.

[nexgod]

Joey was no way my favourite charactet

this is their last?? for reals this time? cos they always say that

[Hartski]

I never really got into Friends all that much, but from what I saw, it had it's moments.

[nexgod]

well there were some memorable moments such as the alternate reality Friends, and Friends in england (u knew i had to say that :D)

so many more but ah help me!!

[smallville_girlie]

Other Moments:

Ross & Rachel having a baby
Ross saying Rachel instead of Emily at his wedding
Chaneler (sp) & Monica getting engaged & married
Chaneler & Monica going to have a baby soon

[Vortex]

yeah this is their last season. the set is closed. And there will be a spin off were Joey moves to LA to pursue his Acting career. I believe that the Joey spin off has a chance of being succesfull just for the fact that friends has a large fan base. And what is that fan base going to do after friends is over... Go get the next best thing Joey.

[Equestrian4Lyf]

I'm a big Friends fan, but there's no way I could stand a show about Joey. The best part of Friends is that the time is split so you don't center around two characters only, you get them in doses. Also, Joey, IMO, is the least interesting character.

[vnea36kr]

They should do a spin off about Chandler and Monica, that would be hilarious! hehe

[nexgod]

Joey ah yes i heard about this.... could be good, could not be, we'll see

[Disco]

chandler is my favorite of all. i love the thanksgiving day episodes.

[hanemg]

I agree, Chandler has always been my favorite. I just watched the episode tonight where Rachel and Monica walk him through some relationship advice when he scews up with Janice. It's always hilarious to watch his slow descent into a gibbering mass of neuroses.

[Miss Lane]

What does anybody else think about Rachel and Joey getting together?

[fudrom]

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... :o :lol:

[Sharkie]

No! Don't do it!

[Disco]

probably not going to happen since rachel isn't going to be in the spinoff of joey.

[louie2k2]

Personally, I think a tidal wave should hit New York and drown them all....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Disco]

much to tragic for a comedy show :p

[Sharkie]

Hey! I like my FRIENDS! It's my favorite show! *Dodges projectile's* Smallville's an extremly close second.

[fudrom]

What ?! Heresy Shirkie ! Heresy I say!

Wait, you're sharkie...um, right? :lol:

[Msjulier]

Not interested in the hype surrounding the demise of Friends. Uhhh, let's ask the cast one more time if they will cry when it's over.
And the Joey show will sink.

[fudrom]

Agreed, they've been hyping the end of the show for way too long...let it go already!

[Sharkie]

I mean come on, quit draggin' it out already... :o

[smallville_girlie]

I am sad to see it go, but all good things must come to an end.

[Miss Lane]

I'll miss it but personally i think the show started to loose it's magic during Season 5. It shouldn't have run as long as it has. Always best to go out on a bang rather than a wimper.

Season 1,2,3 and 4 were the best :)

By the way is Tyra Banks going to be in Joey?

[nexgod]

Ennunciate :D

Hee, I was just going to say that. After Monica and Chandler moved in together it lost something. Chandler is a completely different character now, although last night's episode had him being a little more like himself.

Does anyone else think that Monica became annoying in season 7 (and parts of 6)?
As for Rachel and Joey, I don't think they work together. I was keeping an open mind about it, but not so much.

[Miss Lane]

Does anyone else think that Monica became annoying in season 7 (and parts of 6)?

Thank god i'm not the only one who noticed this. Her voice became all screechy and she kept acting all hyper like she'd had a billion cups of coffee. Comparing her character to the earlier seasons you'd think it was a different person.

[reberfan]

WHERE IS FRIENDS?!! AFTER ALL IT IS THE LAST SEASON!?! ANYONE NOT SAD ABOUT THIS!?! :(

I love Friends and hate that its leaving. It is also good as it has been on for 10 seasons adn they all have to move on!! But still...what to do without my Friends?!?! :confused:

[SmallvilleFan11]

Smallville and Will and Grace and CSI are becoming the replacements for Friends....

[reberfan]

Still, Friends is Friends, never find a good enough replacement! Although those shows are all good...although I have only HEARD CSI shows not actaully watched them. Smallville is great too but not exactly like FRIENDS, exccept for the fact both good storylines. Will and Grace havent actually seen all but of what I have seen is great as well... but like I said before FRIENDS is FRIENDS! "Like the end of an era..."

[SmallvilleFan11]

I suppose...

[reddevil]

i love this show much i am gonna by every season and i normally dont buy seasons.

[SMLVLFAN89]

I like Seinfeld better. :D

[the panther]

Well, at least us Friends fans will have Matt LeBlanc's spin-off, if you haven't heard about it.

Joey goes to LA to pursue his acting career. :D

[reberfan]

Very True! BUt it still wont be the same!! :D :S

[the panther]

I agree. *sighs* But it'll be somethin' other than reruns!

[reberfan]

TRU ENOUGH! and I guess there is always the DVD's of the seasons! :D

[nexgod]

Friends wasnt all that great near the end anyhows

[TATEone]

Not having FRIENDS is gonna suck, but as far as this season is going every other week is a viewers choice or just plain old repeat. Would be nice if there were more new ones considering its the last season.

[reberfan]

they can only do so many u know! jeez...the next new one starts again in april.. there are only 5 new ones left of the final season. Friends HAS NOT sucked adn it wont in the end either. Its not over yet nexgod! sheesh

[the panther]

I agree, Reber - Friends has always been good!

[bec_wiccan]

I like to watch Friends now and again its going to be sad seeing it go. First Sex in the city now Friends. :(

[reberfan]

Me too! I love FRIENDS! LOL. as you prolly have guessed. Its like apart of my everyday (oops everyweek) rituals! Lol...I was so sad to hear that Rachel may be going to Paris! ARGH! But Life goes on I guess, thast what Monica and Chandler are doing! Good for them as they will be close but still! :( :(

[Sharkie]

The end of Friends is one of the biggest NBC events ever. What will you be doing Friends Finale Night?

Me, I'll watch the Finale with my friends and say goodbye to one of the best shows ever in style.

[SuperPillowGun]

Im gonna have to get it from people cause it will get here only next year!!

[noleafclover]

I would sit down and watch it with my friends.

[LilWonderWoman]

i'm going to tune in and out of it. I never really like friends, the show that is

[the panther]

I'm gonna be watching it with my family. :D

[SMLVLFAN89]

watching something else...

[Misssupergirl89]

I never liked the show. When it goes off i'll have a little party saying " Thank god its over!" lol :lol:

[Miss Lane]

It'll be a sad day in the UK and a chunk of my life will be over :(

[vyperman7]

A Men to that!!

I have never liked Friends, and I am happy that the show will finally be going off the air. I am suprised that the show lasted ten years.

I am also happy that the show is ending because now Tru Calling will get better ratings on Thursdays with Friends gone, if the show is picked up for a second season.

[jmf2g]

I'll be watching the second hour (the actual show), but not the first part.

[Disco]

i might be out for part of the night so will be taping just incase i miss some of it. the first half our is supposed to be like a regular episode and the last hour and a half will be the big finale and goodbye.

[kryptonomicon]

Really? I thought it was a whole two hour finale? Oh well, no matter what I'll be unreachable from 8 - 10 on thursday. Cookin dinner for my friends, and once they are here 30 minutes before I'm unpluggin the phone, turning off K-Site and watching TV!

Ditto!

[What The]

a fine example of mass media for soaps and tabloids

bring on the next sucky sitcom!

[Sharkie]

I'm going to miss Friends so much! It's such a huge part of my life. Anyone else excited and sad all at the same time?

[TWShakar]

I'm gonna watch it! I love Friends.

[dirty_beachluver]

Yo watz the big deal wit with the whole friendz thing

[applecrash]

I'll be avoiding the show just like I have for the past nine or ten years. It's just not the type of show I like. I like some comedies, but not "Friends."

I have to study for finals anyway so I'll be busy with other things.

[Sharkie]

To me, it's funny. It makes me laugh every time I watch it, I could see the episode same episode hundreds of times and I still laugh, that is something because that does not happen often.

Before Smallville, it was the ONLY show I couldn't miss. I'd plan my weeks around it.

Most of all, it's been on for TEN YEARS. Most shows last much less than that. 5 years is a LONG run by todays standards, so the fact this is it's tenth and final year means a lot. It's now a pop icon. And that's pretty cool. I have two friends who are dating and they are called Ross and Rachel because of their sporatic break ups and get back togethers.

[trunks3000]

i never understood why it was so popular either.
i never thought it was THAT funny, although humurous at times.

[Sharkie]

Different strokes for different folks. Obviously enough like it for it to go on for 10 years.

[Misssupergirl89]

I don't see what the big deal is either. Its so lame-o

[TWShakar]

It is a great sitcom, and the fact that it's ending is weird. But all this advertisement is too much. It's like I get it. I love the show and all, but I think everybody knows by now.

[nexgod]

its a good show

but i dont know why are people calling it lame, if you dont like it, dont watch it

[Clarkie76]

Not a Friends fan but for those of you who are remember to set your VCR timers for 2 hrs. 6 mins. or else you'll miss the ending of the finale. The local news station started broadcasting that bit of info yesterday.

[the panther]

Thanks, Clarkie! I'll be doing that! :)

[yeshuamyking7]

I'm so sad that Friends is ending. Besides Smallville, it's my favorite show. I've seen every episode (most of them three or four times). I know this sounds stupid, but I really feel like I'm saying goodbye to my friends tonight. It's going to be pretty hard. I'd vote, but it looks like the poll is closed. I'll be watching the full two hours, probably with my roommate.

[bluehybrid69]

'This thread has been moved here so if you saw it elsewhere, I moved it.'

The day has come after ten years, where Friends leave the air. Ross, Chandler, Joey, Monica, Rachel, and Phoebe all say good-bye tonight after their run on the NBC network. It will be sad to say good-bye to one of the veteran shows, but in a way it is a good thing. Let the show go out while on top. Although this post is beginning early, I won't be online during the show so I am starting it early. After the show, rate the episode and voice your opinions on it.

[noleafclover]

I definitely think it will be 1 but I'm still waiting:D

[yeshuamyking7]

The clip show was a definite a 1. Really great stuff. I can't wait for the episode.

[bluehybrid69]

Ok, I won't ruin anything for the people who have not seen it, but I will say it was a CLASSIC. I mean it ended the RIGHT way, and how it should have been. It was hard to see it go, but in a way it is good to go out on top. I will post my review with more things I liked in a day or so to give others the chance to watch it if they taped it.

[yeshuamyking7]

Well, I'm the first vote, and I say it's classic. I'm just so sad. :( No more Friends. *tear*

[kryptonomicon]

I have never actually *seen* an episode of Friends, and I'm not about to start watching now. You're on your own, people!

[kf6tac]

I think it's an okay show, but definitely not worth my time to sit down and watch every week. I dunno - I was never big on any of the "major" sitcoms though like Friends, Seinfeld, Frasier... so maybe I just don't get it.

Now the Simpsons... THAT's a long run. I don't even know how many seasons they're on at this point. Somewhere between 10 and 20 is all I know.

And for the record JAG is in its 9th season this year... don't hear people makin' a fuss about that though.

[yeshuamyking7]

I think Friends was the greatest. I'm so sad to see it go. I've seen all the episodes, most of them several times. I'm happy about the way it ended, but I wish it didn't have to end.

I think the reason why people love it so much is that over the years you get to know the characters so well that you feel like you're a part of the group. It's like there's an open seat at Central Perk for you. I know that sounds corny, but Friends is just that kind of show. The characters are funny, and they're the kind of people that I wouldn't mind hanging out with, which is basically what I did for ten years.

[VersesBatman]

I love the witty dialoge. I often don't predict what they'll say next.

[vnea36kr]

Definitely a classic. I still can't believe there won't be anymore new episodes! I'm gonna miss this show.

[ASuperfan]

I am sure we all it and are glad that Ross & Rachel ended up together but seriously did anyone realy expect them not to end up together. After all can u imagine the flack NBC & company would get if they diod not do that.

[Sharkie]

Best FRIENDS Episode ever. I cried at the end. I was so happy to see the outcome. but I was so sad that it had to go.

[Sharkie]

Yeah, sorry about that Mike. I had it time out after four days.

[kf6tac]

Analyzing the x-ray diffraction spectra of various crystals - oh yeah!

[sofia]

I've watced only since the 9th season:( and I am waiting so anxiously to watch the 10th.I just saw on the news what happend last night and I almost cried!I LOVED THIS SHOW!Every episode made me laugh so much,after so many years I felt like I really knew these guys.Great humor!!!The best series ever!:):):)

Does anybody know a site where I can read what happens during the last season?I tried the "friendstv" and eventhough I downloaded(not illegal) the program asked it still didn't work.

Yeah,ending up together these 2 was the right thing to finish the show.I mean,ten years there was a story going on between them,it couldn't have finished differently.:)

No problem. Everyone knows what my vote would be from my post.

I miss my friends. :(

[lexslave]

awww.... i thought it was GREAT! yes, i knew they'd end up together, but, they did an excellent job overall... i was sort of scared it was going to be like seinfelds finale..(terrible!) but it WASN'T!!! :) and TWINS!!!??! who saw THAT?!?

i will miss them dearly....

[vnea36kr]

I miss them too!
I dragged my friend along with me to go watch the finale at one of the residences.

[kryptonomicon]

Now that it's come and gone, isn't anyone going to give their opinon? Or is that a different thread?

[Disco]

and they live happily ever after :)

[Sharkie]

Maybe they'll have their none-drunken-LA Style wedding on Joey!

[Sharkie]

There are a few threads around. Personally, I thought it was the best ever.

[trunks3000]

i think joey will be horrible....theyre only doing it cause hes the only one willing to continue, and they need to realize you cant keep spinning off of friends forever. when does that show start, anyways?
lisa kudrow has a house about 5 minutes from me...i dont know how often she stays there, but i thought i'd let you all know cause its interesting.

[yeshuamyking7]

I'm definitely going to watch Joey. It may work, or it may not. But I'm going to give it a shot. I'm pretty sure it starts this fall. I'm not sure what time it will be. There's supposed to be a Dateline tonight at 8PM Eastern time, and they're going to have a sneak preview of the show.

As for Friends guest stars, I don't really think it will happen any time soon. They may have one sided phone calls, which would be nice for updates on what's going on in the other friends's lives. I'm not sure if they would have a Ross/Rachel wedding on Joey. They would almost have to bring the whole cast back together, and that would be too much like a reunion to happen any time soon, if at all. That being said, I would certainly love seeing it.

[Sharkie]

It has the old Friends time slot.

[yeshuamyking7]

I thought it might. That should be good. I'm actually looking forward to it. I hope that the fans of Friends give it a chance.

[noleafclover]

The plane has no phelangees....:lol:

[Sportsweety14]

Absolutely perfect ending. And I loved looking back on all the moments in the eppy at 8.

[BoDuke]

Ummm.......I didn't see Friends. How can I replace Friends for Smallville. You know that would never happen. I used to watch Friends but all of a sudden I just stopped. It isn't as cool as Smallville.

[Sharkie]

It isn't as cool as Smallville. I like them both pretty equally. But it's not fair to compare them because one is a comedy and one is an action/drama.

[Clarks Blue Eyed Angel]

Awww, man, what a tear jerker. Me and a bunch of my sorority sisters got together at one sister's apartment and watched. We made quesadillas and cried like babies. It was great. But I'm so mad, I set my VCR to record at home, and it didn't, so now I don't have it. Guess I'll have to wait for the DVD. Sigh. They were on Operah today and I cried like crazy. I keep hearing the finale commercial trailer "after ten years our best friends are saying goodbye" and that kills me. *Sob* First Buffy, now Friends, and next it's Angel. Damn you, PTB, why are you doing this to me? Why?????

[Misssupergirl89]

I don't watch it. Sometimes its on the TV downstairs and im upstairs and i hear the bland jokes. I just cant get into it.

[Sharkie]

bland is an opinion

[Misssupergirl89]

I kno. Im just expressing my opinion. We have our differing ones. I dont have a problem w/ that. I just wanted 2 make myself clear..

[Sharkie]

A dvd is coming out may 11th :)

[ASuperfan]

i wonder when they get to the current season dvd set for friends if they wil have the same version of the finale as the one as being rel;eased on the 11th. i say this cause i heard that the special smalllvile dvd pilot of smalllville is different than the one that was part of the season 1 box set.

[Sharkie]

I heard the broadcast version won't be released agian. What that means I have no idea.

[the panther]

OMG! The finale was PERFECT! I really loved the full two hours.

The duck 'n' chick thing had me LMAO. It reminded me of the "old days". ;)

[kf6tac]

I didn't watch it because I don't watch Friends, but some of my friends who are hard core Friends fans got sooooooooo angry at the end of the finale that they were screaming at the TV. Apparently they weren't mad because Ross and Rachael ended up together, but they WERE mad because they thought he should've been the one to follow her and not vice versa. One of them said sometihng like "Hello? She HAS to go to further her career. What's YOUR job? Something to do with dinosaurs???"

[clarksmyman]

oh no!! it thought 10 was good and 1 was bad. So i gave it a nine. the only bad part was about ross and rachel.

I don't think it has sunk in for me that it's over. it started when i was four and has always been there for me, just like the song.

[clarksmyman]

yeah it was really good.

i watched it with my sister, her friend, and my mom.

[clarksmyman]

its so great. All the people make you laugh and can get you out of a bad mood. Im so sad its leaving. Well, left.

[yeshuamyking7]

I didn't know that NBC was still going to be airing episodes. The One where the Stripper Cries and The Last One are both airing on the 20th in the normal timeslot. I wonder when that's going to end. Of course, it has to end when Joey airs, but I'm not sure if they're going to keep running Friends during the summer.

[the panther]

They might keep running Friends up until Joey airs. Just because they're reruns doesn't mean that NBC won't get high ratings.

To answer DB's question - Friends [notice the "s"] is a show that can make you laugh no matter how down in the dumps you are. And you can relate to all the characters in one way or the other. I've grown up watching Friends, and it's been like a tradition to sit down every Thursday and watch it with my family. There are very few shows that my family and I enjoy watching together that aren't on TV Land. Most of the stuff out there nowadays is pure crap and tasteless. Friends has always been silly and funny, but you can still relate to all the characters.

[yeshuamyking7]

No, I know. They always get high ratings with Friends reruns. I was just commenting on the fact that I didn't realize they were still going to run any reruns.

The characters are the chief reason why Friends is so special. Over the years we got to know these characters, and felt like we were their friends. They are really loveable characters, people that I would like to hang out with. So it isn't any surprise that the show has done so well, because it really connects with the audience. I hope that Joey will be the same way.

[applecrash]

I'd imagine NBC will continue airing the Friends reruns through the summer. The show has always gotten good ratings. The network would be foolish not to continue with the summer reruns. Besides, it would be a good build-up to the spinoff series with the Joey character.

[Sharkie]

Mike (yeshuamyking7) and Allison (panther), NAILED it. You love the characters. Of course, everyone has a favorite, but you love them. When they're happy, you just want to hug them. When they are sad, you feel for them. It is RARE to connect with a character on a TV show, but you connect with your Friends. I think it's sad mindless junk like Survivor will soon take over the airwaves. Most important, with Friends, even in some of the most depressing episodes, you could laugh.

[TWShakar]

Damn right Sharkie. I'd take Friends over any reality show that's sooo full of crap.

[yeshuamyking7]

I totally agree. Friends is in a whole other league, and is much better than any reality show. Of course, I think even the worst sitcom is better than a reality show. I hate reality shows.

On a side note, has anyone ever had a Friends dream? I don't know, maybe I'm the only pathetic Friends geek, but I've had several dreams where I was hanging out with everybody at Central Perk. I think it would be cool if they had some kind of VR system where you could see an episode as if you were sitting on the couch with them. :)

Anyway, I still miss my friends. :( At least Joey will be back this fall, and hopefully there will be some guest spots and/or mention of what's happening in the other friends's lives in the show.

[yeshuamyking7]

What was bad about Ross and Rachel? I was so happy that they got back together. I was flipping out when she got on the plane, because there was so little time left in the show. Anyway, it was absolutely superb. One of the best episodes ever, and so funny. It's hard to believe that there will never be another new episode. I miss the show already.

[noleafclover]

The Ross and Rachel relationship was one of the best ones in the show. I am glad it turned out the way it did....unless WE WERE ON A BREAK returns!!!!:lol:

[Sharkie]

Why would Ross want to leave Ben? Second, Ross has tenure at a major university, that's difficult to get and he has more job security than Rachel does. She could easily get a job in New York. It'd be harder for Ross to get a job in Paris than Rachel to get a job in New York.

Dude! I had a dream once I was Chandler's long lost kid brother from his Dad's side. Don't ask me how it worked, but yeah. I came to New York and just stumpled upon Central Perk. It was crazy.

My one regret is I always wanted to watch it be taped in person. Maybe I can watch them tape Joey at least.

[Arista 07]

I rated the finale of Friends a "2." It was an all around good episode and ended as it should have, with Ross and Rachel together. However, Chandler came off as such an a**hat for wanting to split up the twins. I couldn't believe he was being serious. The show has declined in "the funny" over the past couple of seasons, IMHO. Though, that is expected and I still get a few giggles each episode. Oh, another thing that irked me, how many times are we going to have a baby born as a finale? Didn't Rachel do the same last year giving birth to Emma? Oh well...

[dirty_beachluver]

Itz not all that great but the peepl who play the characterz seemed pretty sad especially the girl that everyone wanted to get togrther with this guy....*See I don't know much about the lame show*

[Sharkie]

Yeah, they were sad. Because they are a very close cast and they enjoyed doing what they did. They have every right to be sad.

And I wouldn't go around calling a show lame if I was you.

[Sharkie]

I don't think Chandler was meant to be taken seriously about splitting up the twins. He was paniky. It's Chandler! Could he be anymore crazy!?

[TWShakar]

You may think it's lame, but it was one fo the best shows we've had. Now you just see shows so full of crap, which don't last as long as 10 years!!!

[LadyOphelia]

I never really got into the show, but I always enjoyed when I did watch. Few shows can make me laugh, but this one could.

[LadyOphelia]

I enjoyed the final episode. It wrapped up everything, although storywise, the crying at the end didn't make sense to me. When the episode ended, they were all still living in Manhatten or the surrounding area. No one was actually leaving. The crying only really made sense to me when I considered that the actors were saying goodbye. Other than that, I thought it was a great episode. And the final pan of the empty apartment was perfect.

Anyway, it was absolutely superb. One of the best episodes ever, and so funny. It's hard to believe that there will never be another new episode. I miss the show already.


I didn't mean that it was bad that they got together but that i didn't like the way they did it. But I wanted them to get back together.

[Sharkie]

What didn't you like about it?

[lexslave]

hey,sharkie i agree, (it DID make more sense to stay in the u.s.)
i myself, gave it a 2, 1 point taken off because they are leaving!

god, i will miss them SOOOOOOOOOOO much it's scary!

and yes, that was SO chandler... (he often handles panic, with ill-timed jokes)

and also yes, i cried.

[Misssupergirl89]

This show i thought was corney, but i guess different strokes fo' different folks. Personally the show made me made, b-cause it stayed around 4 so long, while other shows that derserved the same respect got cut in like the first season.

I thought it was a bit rushed. They should have started this a while back. That way, we could have seen them together again for a few episodes. They should have pushed the birth up one or two episodes, and had Ross and Rachel's wedding be the Finale. It's six of one, half a dozen of the other, though. I'm happy with the way things ended. I just wish they didn't have to end.

[Sharkie]

It deserved it's run.

[yeshuamyking7]

I totally agree. In fact, I wish it could go on forever. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I don't think Friends was corny at all. The show remained consistently funny from the pilot until the very last episode. I thought every episode was laugh-out-loud funny, and I've seen most of them three or four times apiece. I can still laugh at the reruns, even after seeing them over and over again. Again, though, the main reason why Friends was so special was the character development, and the extent to which the audience felt like these six people were like our own friends. I got to know these characters over the years, and grew to love them. And it didn't hurt that they made me laugh. I honestly think it was the best sitcom ever.

[Misssupergirl89]

I always hear ppl sayin ghow much they love the show. I always thought that the repsonce about "Friends" was one-sided so i just wanted 2 represent the other side. I wonder if that made sense....

[yeshuamyking7]

It makes sense. Some people don't like the show, and that's fine. I just don't happen to agree, and quite honestly, I'm not sure from where that opinion comes. I don't know how anyone could not love Friends. However, as I've said, I'm a total Friends fanatic, so I'm biased.

[noleafclover]

The thing with Friends is that we watched it grow.
We got to learn about and love the characters and we have seen them on TV for 10 years.
It holds a lot of sentimental value.
I am sad now that it is finished.

[Sharkie]

When the show ended I felt like I was saying good bye to a group of friends, literally. It is a character driven show. And that's the reason why it's the best sitcom ever.

[Misssupergirl89]

Sry if i pissed anyone off. I have a tendacy of doing that!

[yeshuamyking7]

Well, you didn't make me mad. :) I don't mind if people don't like Friends. I've just never understood it. I've gotten to know the characters so well over the years that I really feel like they are my friends. As such, I really don't understand when people don't like them, because I love them. But it's no big deal if people disagree.

[Misssupergirl89]

Okay kewl. I can't believe that this disscusion has gone over 2 3 pages!

[yeshuamyking7]

I'm not really surprised. It will probably die sooner or later, but there are enough people who really like Friends to keep it going. The reasons why Friends is special have all essentially been layed out, though. It's a very funny show, with endearing characters with whom the audience has connected over a period of a decade. I love the show, and really miss it. I'm looking forward to Joey. Hopefully it will have some of the magic that Friends had.

[Misssupergirl89]

What are the chances? Im not asking 2 be a smart aleck.

[yeshuamyking7]

Well in all honesty, if they were going to have a spinoff, Joey would be my last pick. I'd much rather see Ross and Rachel, or Monica and Chandler, or Phoebe and Mike. However, it's still Joey, and I love Joey. So, I'm definitely going to watch. I don't know that comparing it to Friends is going to be fair, because Friends was, in my opinion, the best sitcom ever. However, I think it will be a good show in its own right, and I think most of the fans of Friends are going to come along for the ride.

[Sharkie]

I bet Joey will be awesome, but like you I'd rather see 1st Monica and Chandler, cause they are my two favorites and it'll be interesting to see them raise twins. Ross and Rachel cause I mean, come on, they're icons. And they are finally together, hopefully forever. And Pheobe is hilarious and we don't know too much about Mike. But I love Joey! Joey reminds me of a Friend of my own, just my Friend is smart :)

[BeepBeep]

My opinion on Friends:

A funny show, but it was in no way revolutionary. For many people, it was comfort TV. You knew what you were getting when you tuned in at 8 on Thursdays. It was a consistent comedy, with at least one character that everybody could relate to. This is one of the reasons it enjoyed such a successful run after 9/11. Everybody's world was tossed upside down, yet Friends was that rock in a river of inconsistency. You could count on your Friends.

[yeshuamyking7]

Well, I think a show can be comforting and revolutionary at the same time. Before Friends, there weren't many shows that talked as openly about sex on television. Plus, you had a show where all the main characters were from the same demographic (which the studio execs didn't like). Also, the show was an ensemble, when most shows are focused around one or two people. I think it definitely blazed some trails, and left a lasting mark on popular culture.

[galen]

I only saw part of one episode with somebody peeing on someone...

Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox Arquette was in it ...

Only reason I know that is I met CCA.

[the panther]

That's and OLD OLD OLD episode!! They were at the beach and Monica got stung by a jellyfish, so Chandler peed on the sting. ;)

[Sharkie]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! THAT IS ONE OF MY TOP FIVE EPISODES! I LOVED THAT ONE! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Jen and Courtney are in every episode.

You met Courtney? Lucky.

[TWShakar]

That one is one of the best episodes!!! Especially when Monica, Chandler, and Joey confess what happened at the beach! :lol:

[Sharkie]

Yeah. My favorite part was when Monica first got stung and she was like, "Damn the jellyfish, damn all the jellyfish!"

[clarksmyman]

yeah and rachel convinces ross's girlfriend to shave her head.

[noleafclover]

:lol:

[TWShakar]

:lol: Good times.

[Sharkie]

i miss Friends

[yeshuamyking7]

That was so funny. And then Ross made the comment about the moonlight bouncing off her head. :lol: I miss Friends, too.

[zhuuka]

Different strokes for different folks

Took the words right out of my mouth. I started watching when I was eight with my sister. I grew up to love it. It attracted all ages. One of those sitcoms that will always be remembered.

[yeshuamyking7]

Definitely. Friends has some of the most memorable moments in television, and became a part of pop culture in a way that few shows do.

[nexgod]

ahhh

When it hits you that its the end forever

yeah

you know the feeling

[zhuuka]

Or how about the time Ross put the whitening bond on for too long. His teeth glew like the Empire State Building with the black lights on. Ross on a date and got the leather pants wet. :lol

[VersesBatman]

Or how about when Ross buys leather pants and gets all sweaty in them?

[Sharkie]

The Christmas Armadillo!!!!

[VersesBatman]

When Phoebe gave birth to triplets.

[yeshuamyking7]

The Holiday Armadillo episode has the funniest line:

Chandler: If Santa and the Holiday ... Armadillo are ever in the same room for too long, the universe will implode. Merry Christmas!

[VersesBatman]

:rotfl:

[yeshuamyking7]

:lol: I couldn't stop laughing the first time I heard that line. That show was so funny.

[TWShakar]

:rotfl:

[Sharkie]

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :lol: :lol: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[TWShakar]

And then Joey comes in as Superman!!! :rotfl:

[Sharkie]

Pheobe: Okay, I get Santa and the Easter Bunny, but why is a porqupine at the Easter Bunny's Funeral?

[TWShakar]

:lol: Good ol' Pheobe!

[Sharkie]

Anyone have the Season Finale DVD?

[TWShakar]

I don't. I'd rather wait to have the full season DVD.

[Sharkie]

I'd reccomend getting it. You'll never see the broadcast version of the finale again.

But in the extended version they have a whole bunch of extra scenes. In one Chandler asks Mon if she can tell the twins apart. He points to one asking who it is, and Mon says Jack. Chandler looks and says "Wow, Jack is going to have a hard time in High School with that vagina."

[yeshuamyking7]

:) Are they not going to have the broadcast version in the complete 10th season set?

[Sharkie]

From what I've read, no they aren't

[yeshuamyking7]

That's pretty stupid. All they would have to do is make the disc skip the added tracks (unless one episode is one track).

[Misssupergirl89]

I still dont see why this show gets so much special treatment. It seems like a regular comedy sitcom, but everyone treats it like gold. It just gets annoying 2 hear ppl look @ me so weird when i say that i never cared 4 the show.

[Sharkie]

CAUSE IT RULES!!!!!!!!!!

[yeshuamyking7]

I second that. Friends gets treated like gold because it's gold. No platinum. No kryptonite. Oh, maybe that last one is bad. :)

[TWShakar]

I third that.

[Sharkie]

Platinum? They need to make a whole nother level of good for Friends, baby! EVERY episode is good. Course, I have my favorites, but I've not seen a bad Friends episode.

[TWShakar]

Damn right Sharks!

[Sharkie]

Remember this classic:

Joey: Grab a spoon!
Ross: I honestly don't know if I'm hungry or horny.
Chandler: Stay away from my freezer.

[TWShakar]

:rotfl: The first episode!

[Sharkie]

Yup! The One That Started It All!

[Sharkie]

When Ross and Rachel tried to get anulled!!!

[TWShakar]

:lol:

[Sharkie]

Ross: We consumated like bunnies!

[TWShakar]

:rotfl:

[VersesBatman]

I like the one where Ross is trying to get everyone ready to go to an award banquet and no one will get ready.

[TWShakar]

Oh yeah!! That one is funny!

[the panther]

:rotfl: I miss Friends!

[VersesBatman]

"Hey I'm Chandler. Could I be wearing any more clothes?"

[TWShakar]

:lol:

[Sharkie]

When Monica walked in at Chan lookin at porn and he flipped to a shark documentry on Discovery Channel!

[TWShakar]

:lol: And she thought it turned him on!!! :rotfl:

[Sharkie]

That was the most hilarious part!

Monica: Angry sharks turn you on!

[VersesBatman]

When Chandler had that psycho roomate.

[tmkfan]

Oh yeah what was his name?? eric?? dont remember

PHEOBE AND THE FIRE ALARM!

[VersesBatman]

Joey: Hey Ross! Don't tailers feel you up a little?

Ross: Sure they do...in prison!

[TWShakar]

:rotfl:

[the panther]

:rotfl:

[TWShakar]

[tmkfan]

:rotfl: :rotfl: Actually, it was, "What kind of scary-ass clowns did you have at your birthday?" ;)

[VersesBatman]

When Joey had that pop-up map in London.

[yeshuamyking7]

That was funny. When he was walking around "in" the map. :lol:

[The_Gimp]

so many episodes to watch so little time ;)

i liked the one where ross and chandler try to be like the girls and share everything...

[Sharkie]

LOL!!!!! And Chandler shares his mom make out sessions and Ross sees his mom on Rachel!!!!!!!!!

[noleafclover]

:lol:
You ruined my sex life:rotfl:

[yeshuamyking7]

I really liked the one where they played the trivia game. That was so funny. And Ross kept doing the "Challenge extended ..." stuff, in that weird voice. That was hilarious.

"It has something to do with transponding ..."

"Transponding ... traspond ... oh, he's a transpondster! He's a transpondster!!!"

"Nooooo!!! That's not even a word!!!"

[TWShakar]

:lol:

Or when Pheobe's brother Frank shouts out "My sister's gonna have my baby!!!"

[yeshuamyking7]

:lol: That was funny. Or when that guy in the strip club was telling Phoebe that she and her baby could go to another strip club, and she said in that sarcastic voice, "It's not my baby."

[TWShakar]

:lol:

My fave episode is the one with the jellyfish!!

[tmkfan]

Oh yeah, when Monica says damn u jellyfish, damn all the jellyfish, that was so funny! :D

[TWShakar]

Yup! And then when they admitted what happened at the beach! That was my fave scene! :lol:

[tmkfan]

oh yeah, that was one of my favs eps.. what about when rachel bought that expensive ugly cat?? :D

[Sharkie]

LOL!!!! The rest were trying to not drop the ball and Gary shot a bird so pheobe dumed him.

[VersesBatman]

I like the one where Rachel tried to seduce this guy at Emily's farewell party. First she plays spin the bottle, then she puts on a cheerleading outfit and does this backflip and gives herself a fat lip. Then she tries to pull her bra out through her sleeve.

[TWShakar]

Yeah!! Joshua! :lol:

[VersesBatman]

When Joey got trapped in that book case and these guys robbed the apartment.

[Sharkie]

When she asks Joshua to marry her after 4 dates, and Gunther screams "You idiot!"

[VersesBatman]

That was funny!
