Who's watching the Friends Finale - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I'm just wondering who is and isn't watching the Friends finale.

Chocoholic · 05-06-2004, 01:30 PM

I don't plan to.

Ive said numerous times before that I dont like Friends, and I have coined the phrase "friends dont let friends watch friends" -- but that's all changed.
Somehow, someway -- Ive become interested in this show.
Something about it suddenly clicked, and I will watch the finale tonight -- but not the clip show -- this show is good, but I wouldnt miss "Survivor" for it. (Which is probably the main reason I never liked the show (until now).... and the fact that it gets so much attention and Frasier doesnt)

And think about it.... NO show, no matter how much you hate it -- is as boring as watching paint dry.
Unless its digustingly gross -- dry away.

If I don't get the Three's Company Season 2 DVD today, I might check it out. I really don't hate this show as much as I thought. I still think it's overrated, but the real problem I have with this show is that it's too light. Everyone is too nice.

Not even reality shows?

Unless its Survivor or The Amazing Race.... yes, watching paint dry IS better.

Some reality shows are actually pretty good -- like the two I mentioned, but some are just trash.
Survivor, and especially The Amazing Race are more like games or sports than reality shows.
One thing I cant stand is dating shows....

I'll watch it. I used to be a big fan, but I stopped watching it after the show jumped the shark around season 7 or 8.

Rachel has had some moments where she was downright mean, especially when it came to Ross.... but I agree with you for the most part.

That was my other option too -- I was torn between the Friends finale, and a guaranteed laugh -- Three's Company - Season 2

But after VERY recently becoming a minor fan, Im watching Friends instead.
Because the beauty of the DVD is -- I can watch it whenever I want.

I will NOT be watching the Friends finale. I haven't ever watched one complete episode and I don't plan to start now. I'd rather watch a blank screen (or paint dry since it is the option)...

I dunno if you follow the cast of Friends much, but one of the girls used to be Alex's girlfriend on Family Ties.

Dean Winchester · 05-06-2004, 02:40 PM

of course I'm watching and taping (also taped the Dateline special and an hour-long Friends special on VH1) and I'll also tape Leno tonight.

Ant-Lox · 05-06-2004, 03:47 PM

I think I'll tune into TV Land to see whats on

MaydayMalonesGirl · 05-06-2004, 04:01 PM

No.

Sitcomwriter · 05-06-2004, 04:20 PM

Yep

.

While I agree that the show has gone downhill, it's still one of those "can't miss" finales. Besides, I've watched my DVDs all morning
