I know!!!

I don't remember ever being this upset about a show ending

Now I probably was sadder that Buffy and Sex And The City (both ended in the past 12 months) ended when they did since I thought both should've gone on longer, whereas I do agree it's time for Friends to go.... but still, it's been part of our collective consciousness for so long that it ending is not just the ending of a tv series, but it's the end of an era.

Although I haven't watched the show since 2002 (I thought the show jumped the shark), I used to be a huge fan. I can't say I'm not going to miss it.

Goodbye, Friends.

I do have to agree about jumping the shark, although I'd have to say that it technically began with season 7. The first 6 seasons (even tho I think season 3 was the weakest of that lot) are all golden and each season has a ton of classic episodes. Season 7 was when the show started becoming more "comfort food" as opposed to great television. I won't lie and say that seasons 7-10 didn't have some great moments, but all in all, if the show jumped the shark, I'd say it was with the beginning of season 7. I almost wonder what it would've been like had the series ended at the end of season 6, it would've went out on top (not saying it isn't now... but I don't think fans of the show would've ever complained about how it's "not as good as it used to be", etc..)

Ive said before that Im not in the least bit a fan of Friends.... maybe its just all the hype....

but I think Ive become a closet fan of Friends.

I dont know when, and I dont know why -- but I went from intense hatred to actually liking the show.
Maybe its good, or maybe its bad -- but Ill be watching tonight.
But I cant become TOO big of a fan -- the DVDs will make me broke.

Although I'm sure many would agree that it was time that Friends come to an end, and many who hate to see it go(or both). I'm a little curious about which of the Friends wanted and didn't want to keep the show going. I seen an interview with Matt and he was saying how he was one of the ones who was pushing to keep the show going.

I saw it last night that the show was over at 9:59 PM because the show was almost over at about 4 or 5 minutes.

I missed the last part where they kissed until it stopped on my DVR. I hope the DVD will come out this Tuesday according to an article in the New York Post.
