This show is way over-hyped and way past its prime. It was good for three or four years, and then the writing got stale. Anyone else excited for this show to finally end?

I don't care if it ends or if it stays on.

I don't watch it anymore, won't watch tonight unless the kids are asleep and my wife's watching it.

I'm glad to see it end. Not because I don't care about the show (I don't anymore--haven't for a long time), but because I'm sick to death of the "Friends is almost done!" crap everywhere.

I don't know which thread to post in. I started watching Friends last year when I thought it was going to be it's last season. Then when they extended it I stopped. But I haven't watched one ep this year.

I think I will watch tonight though.

I've never seen an episode of Friends. Don't plan to start anytime soon.

Just thought I'd share.

I am so glad to hear all this. I thought I was the only person on earth who never watched it.

Never liked the show Friends. Now only if that stupid Amercian Idol will end, I am so sick of it.

I've watched a few episodes. But that was years ago.. "Smelly Cat" still cracks me up to this day.

But I have no interest in the show. Same goes with Frasier.

I watch tons and tons of TV, like most of you guys, but I have never seen a full episode of Friends. I have seen bits and pieces of episodes in syndication, but never a new one on NBC. I never got the whole Friends phenomenon. I don't know if it is the laugh track that turns me off, or the dumb comedy. How many times can you laugh at someone going, "How youuuu doin."?

I watched pieces of 2 or 3 episodes in their 10 year run, and I just didn't get it. Guess I'm not in the Demographic of their viewership

Friends is a great show! I watch it every spare moment I have! I won't be friends with anyone why doesn't watch Friends!


There always seems to be someone crapping in pro-tv show threads it just seemed appropriate for there to be some in an anti-tv show thread

I used to watch it the first few seasons, until they started scheduling Survivor against it, then I switched to Survivor.

But the real reason I stopped is that I came to think that all of the characters were despicable people (except for Phoebe), desparetly in need of beatings.

I don't know how long it's been since I've seen an episode. I lost interest years ago. Won't be watching tonight.

I watch occasionally. But, really don't care one way or the other.

Okay, is it "I could care less" or "I couldn't care less"? I thought NOT being physically able to care less would be worse.

BTW, this post isn't OT or anything.

Never watched it and never will. I was also in the "thought I was the only one who never watched Friends" club. Wow, I feel better now..

It's nice to know you are not alone.
