FOL is starting to suck! - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

First of all, if you hate FOL as much as you claim to then why waste your time posting on a FOL message board! Maybe you should change your name to FriendsFan4Ever.

I mean, you can be your own person and still watch FOL, but I just don't like being in the middle of a huge fad.

Why is something not cool just because alot of people like it? I get tired of people who stop liking something - a show, a song, a fashion style - just because it becomes popular. If you like the show then watch it, if you don't like the show then don't watch it. It shouldn't matter how many others like it. That being said, I don't think FOL has that many viewers. Definitely not more than Friends. I personally don't know anyone else who watches FOL, besides all of you on this board.

There is a lot of closet watchers. I've watched FOL since 1997 and I never even knew a website existed or that groups and message boards like this existed until March. Maybe you just don't know the right people.

The same episodes over and over do get a little monotonous, but that doesn't lessen the quality of the show. It only lessens the thrill of watching an episode. I don't think that it's the show itself that "sucks." One thing that keeps me hooked is the show's uniqueness. I mean, there just aren't as many shows a good or funny or valuable on nowadays.

I agree with all of the posts here. Here is how I feel, I don't like being popular. I am always trying to get rid of it. Whenever I like something at my school, in the time of a day or two, everyone else in my class is talking about it. I get sick of everyone always quoting the characters. It isn't as bad anymore because it is summer. I'll start liking it again, but it won't be the same. It might be better. About the Friends thing, most people that watch it are adults. I am only 14. I know of 2 other 12 year old girls that watch it. Umm...let's see. Oh, the spin off from FOL was really good too. It only ran for a few months, but it was good.

Whoever said "FOL sucks because everyone else likes it. I like to be my own person..." needs to rethink their thoughts. That's the MOST LAMEST EXCUSE I have ever heard.

Well not guys, we still have to respect the individual's feeling about the show. Although I like the show. The last few seasons started to get dry to me though.

Everybody is enitiled to their own opinion. You don't have to put down everybody's opinions though. That's why I hate coming to this board, most everybody has such a bad attitude towards everybody and everything. God, just stop.

I agree with you. On the other boards, everyone is more friendly. Here they put other shows down. Like saying Gilligan's Island should be taken off after the FIRST year and that Three's Company and Diff'rents Trokes shouldn't be shown as much. Even though it seems like there are a lot of FOL fans, there really aren't. And DS, TC, and BB are shown a lot because they are the top 3 shows.

Ditto ditto ditto. I have seen almost all the episodes but I'll never lose interest. I'm a huge fan.
