I'm tired of all this "Friends" crap!
It's a second-rate sitcom with a second-rate cast and second-rate writing. Just slightly above "Yes, Dear" in these respects and a trendy, shitty knockoff of "Seinfeld". Yeah, watching a bunch of spoiled yuppies living beyond their means and chattering about nothing is my idea of fun! Joey and Monica might be tied for most annoying sitcom characters ever. Fuck this show, let it die. I'm glad it's gone, if only it would stay out of syndication the world would be a beautiful place.

2. Friends was funny for two years
Then I outgrew it. I don't know anyone who watches it.

3. Don't watch it
That's all I can say. Sure you may not like and millions of americans don't as well but there are people out there that do enjoy watching. If you do watch TV I'm sure there is a program you watch consistency that me or alot of people might find crazy.

7. Might as well get used to it.
It'll most likely be in syndication for years and years like Cheers or M*A*S*H.

9. But then there will be reruns
till doomsday. I've never watched even one episode, even part of one. The teasers didn't have any appeal to me at all.

10. A-fucking-men, brother
I cannot stand this show. I think it was funny in its first season, maybe for the first six episodes. Then after that it was "Hello, Larry" all over again.

Most repugnant of all is that talentless douchebag that plays Ross-- David Schwegma, or whatever his name is. Here's to his never having another job in front of a camera again. Enjoy car sales, Amway, carnival barking, or whatever it is that strikes your fancy, you ugly, whiny mug.

12. Thank You!
I watched this silly sitcom maybe 4 or 5 tgimes during its run. It never bothered me, but I never watched it unless I was REALLY bored and there was nothing else on.

Now all the promos are all slo-mo and melodramatic as though America is losing it's favorite pastime forever. I was never this sentimental toward GOOD sitcoms like Roseanne or All in the Family. Why would I get all gushy over one so totally mediocre?

The one thing I remember was when Chandler and that Matt whatever roommate he had had no furniture, so they were sitting in a canoe in the apartment and there was also a duck there. Apparently, that situation on its own was supposed to be funny. I guess If you'd had enough reefer. Everything about it seemed so completely unreal. An all-white clique of pals living in a Manhattan strangely devoid of people of color, and they all continue living this cutesy frat-house kind of lifestyle into their late 30s. The appeal was really lost on me.

There is something about the program that reminds me of rabid consumerism. Like it would appeal to the rabid consumer types because it's so escapist and devoid of any real sentiment or any real point.

Whatever. I won't miss it, and I don't miss Seinfeld - and that was a bit funnier than Friends.
