Amen to that brother.

LOVED that show! It appealed to the 30 something crowd and younger, I guess.

Im 30 something. It never appealed to me. Im more of a Frasier type and it is the only sitcom I watch. But to each his/her own.


Interesting side note: People who have been to both the Frasier and Friends tappings commonly reported how it took 2x as long to tape Friends than it took to tape Frasier. Most attributed that to the professionalism levels between the cast as the Friends cast tended to flub up lines almost incessantly.

that show fuccin sucked, I can't believe that people are making a big deal out of that shit. I was sooo mad when I was watching Sportscenter, a program that I should be able to escape from the surrounding vaginazation of the world, and they start talking about friends, OMFG!? she show had some moments, about ten years ago when Jennifer Aniston was young and virile and had some meat on here. But the show has had nothing but a bunch of garbage writing about marriage and babies. By teh way can someone who watched the show please tell me when they had a joke on the show, b/c I don't ever remember seeing a joke of any kind? I hate TV and this crap is why, no way was this better than Seinfeld or some other shows. They should've canceled the show the minute that these old women started getting that turkey neck!! no one wants to see that. ok that is all.. lol

to say the least.

I watched it for the first few seasons, but I lost interest. There are no good shows on anymore. Thank god for ESPN.

And they wonder what makes a sane person turn into a serial killer. Go figure. Dateline even had a special on the damned show. I wanted to shoot the television

she show had some moments, about ten years ago when Jennifer Aniston was young and virile and had some meat on here.

She was fuggin hawt back then. ...... Not that I'd kick her out of bed NOW, but damn she was hotter when she had curves.

But the show has had nothing but a bunch of garbage

You should not wait to be rewarded in heaven with such statements of gospel.

There never was any kind of joke. The whole damned show was based on Ross's gay neck twitchings, Joey's stupid goofy faces and neanderthal like utterings, Pheobes stupid songs, Monica's .....well, NOTHINGNESS, and Chandler's "witty" and comical remarks.

Jennifer Aniston was just eye candy because the show was written specificaly FOR Courtney Coxx and the people wanted another goodlooking unknown. This all came out in a report about how the show was supposed to launch Courtney's stardom and instead launched Jennifer's because she was in deed....well, so HOT.

It came out because some reporters and DJs remembered that from the beggining, Courtney's agents sent out memos that Courtney "did not do interviews". It was a such a hilarious point of laughter because of the cold shoulder Courtney gave radio DJs and other reporters she felt were "beneath her". It made it all the more hillarious when Jennifer had come out being the "main" star of the show and Courtney's film apperances fell flat on their faces. It was a very touchy point with Courtney and word was that when she "finaly" did interviews that that subject not be brought up.


I listen to a lot of news radio, BTW.

I'm a huge friends fan, I loved the whole series. I'm very sad it's gone

Regardless of whether you liked it or not...

How can you know what it's about if you never watched it? I don't remember it promoting homosexuality nor promiscuity.. generally the cast members were in relationships...

Oh well, people like to assume..

Exactly Greeky, I was going to ask the same thing. Anyway, I'm a Friends fan too and will miss the show!

.

You're right, I did not watch it, but from what I was exposed to in commercials, promos, etc, I got that impression. Are you telling me that I'm wrong? That it promoted marriage, family and fidelity?

lets see. There were very few references to homosexuality, and I think the portrayal of promiscuity was pretty accurate to today's culture- but for every sex reference there were fifty relationships going on.

The only show on TV right now (and cable at that) that is worth a shit is "The Sheild".

Tuesdays on FX. Just leave the damn thing off the other nights.

West Wing is THE BEST show on TV by far..

I watched it once in awhile, it was very funny.

Survivor > any show

Even the shitty season they have going on now is better than anything else.

I rarely watch sit-comes, but "Seinfeld" and "Three's company" are my favorites....

We have this in common. Survivor is a GREAT show, along with The Apprentice. My top two besides news, sports.

Survivor?
are you shitting me?

How can you sit their and watch some horrible actors pretend to be doing all this crazy stuff thats just pointless
They get fed gourmet food and all this....

anyway
Friends was one of the best shows to ever air on T.V.
period

Wrestling is less fake than survivor

You are one disillusioned young lad.

Although I do think they are babied now compared to the first ones, they obviously are not too pampered considering most who stay for a considerable time drop at least 20 lbs.

they put them on special diets there you fool

Obviously they are going to make it seem real

havent you ever heard of a movie where the actors gain 30 pounds and then lose 50

Though I do not watch any television at all (no cable) I will regret Friends' demise.

That means the people who share my office will now have nothing to talk about all day except Survivor and American/Canadian Idol -- those gripping, fascinating, edge-of-your-seat dramas. At least Friends appeared to have some sort of pathetic excuse for a plot.

And I will have no choice but to run amuck with my heavy-duty stapler and kill them all.

As for American Idol and programs such as this, I have one thing to say.

These talented young people sumit themselves to being judged by
1. a has been
2. a wanna be
3. and a never was

They lose weight, get stressesed at the "judges" comments, cry, and get humiliated in front of millions of people every week. All in HOPE that their talent wins out.

MEANWHILE.........

People like Cher, Britney Spears, a host of rappers (I like rap) and WILLIAM HUNG are getting rich off of NO DISCERNABLE SINGING TALENT WHATSOEVER.

WHY??? Because of one word: MARKETING

I am an artist myself, I know talent gets you only so far. Success is like bodybuilding in a sense: 70% marketing, 20% hook, and maybe 10% talent. Because even if you cant sing, or play your instrument very well (Poo Fighters) you still have to know enought to keep in time and whatnot.

Greek, you don't want to drop any more weight ....
You're losing color as it is <just kidding>

I would find it odd that they would go through all of that for a show considering they would then have to pay them as actors whereas as a reality show they do not have to pay them according to the actor's union. Using a little common sense it would seem that keeping it "real" would be far more profitable.

No, they wouldn't. It is damn hard to do enough professional or semi-professional work to get qualified to join any of the actors' guilds.

I'd say pretty much anyone off the street would do just about anything if it meant they'd get their mugs on the Shining Box of Fame. Lose weight, cut off a limb -- whatever.
