Umm, here latley, and this is just my opinion, but is Friends getting very boring to ya'll....they're having some strange episodes here latley. Running out of ideas possibly?

That might be the case, but I don't think anyone will stop watching......

AnaheimPMWitch · 02-17-2003, 10:31 PM

I think its getting very old I dont watch it as much as I use to and I certainly dont obsess over it like I use to
by the way Leah I love your new siggy pics that Ryan is pretty HOT not as Hot as Erik Von Detten but Hey to each its own

GoldenFamilyTies · 02-18-2003, 02:45 AM

Not old to me... this is my favorite season!

Brian Damage · 02-18-2003, 02:30 PM

I've just started to watch Friends after a long hiatus. I don't think it's really lost that much. Then again, I'm not a die hard fan.

In my opinion, it is getting a little old, but I imagine it's tough coming up with new storylines after 9 years of being on the air. "Friends" is still my favorite comedy though!

This year has been the worst for me because they're recycling stories and have done some things to the characters that just don't make any sense. It's still better than any of the new shows.
The next time you feel bad about where Friends is going, watch a show like AUSA - snapped me back into reality.

The storylines are starting to run out, but it's still funny to enjoy. Maybe after next season is a good time to end the show.

dedicatedlgfan · 04-05-2003, 09:50 PM

Every time I get ready for the end...they add another season!lol Done that the past 2 maybe 3 years.

AJ2086 · 04-05-2003, 09:57 PM

I havent even seen the show since maybe November,
I've caught a repeat here and there bu I have not been regualrly watching it like I used too. It seems like they are going nowhere with the season finale this year. This season should have been about Ross and Rachel an they ruined it.

dedicatedlgfan · 04-05-2003, 10:01 PM

I usually watch it full fledged about 10 times a day!lmfao But for the last few months I haven't...due to another obsession

Kelsey · 04-06-2003, 12:38 AM

yeah, it isn't as good as it used to be, but I still watch it. I agree it must be tough after nine years to come up with some really good plots.

phoebe7165 · 04-15-2003, 02:35 PM

I absolutely love 'Friends' but I, too, have noticed lately the episodes aren't as funny as in the past. I still watch it. It has it's ups-n-downs. Look at last season and the great comeback. I look at it this way-a bad episode of Friends is still better than a good episode of alot of the really bad new comedies out there now.

Superbatboy · 04-19-2003, 03:58 PM

It's been bad ever since Rachel had her baby. The show hasn't recovered since.

I completely agree! Maybe I'm optimistic, but I think we're getting not-as-good episodes right now (although I enjoyed last Thursday's) because the episodes at the very end of the series (i.e. next season) are going to be awesome.
