Friends, 199?-2004

I just found out that the last episode of the sitcom Friends will be broadcast tonight. You’d think NBC would try to alert viewers of this.
Anyway, this is a tragic turn of events. I am suspending blogging operations until further notice while I cope with the loss.
Later.
UPDATE: Okay, I’m back. I was out and only got to see the last ten minutes of the finale. But knowing that Ross and Rachel are together has given me the strength to blog on. And it’s wonderful that the Knoxville News Sentinel devoted nearly the entire A1 front page to a sitcom having nothing to do with East Tennessee.
I’m sure I saw an entire episode at one point, but I don’t recall the last time I watched the entire episode of Friends. I caught short segments every now and then, but the show just didn’t have what it took to hold me through a commercial break. It’s not just Friends, either. The only one that’s had it in the last decade is Seinfeld. I’m not sure if that’s a reflection on the quality of the sitcoms or just me.

  1. What?!?!?!? I didn’t know…
    I think I’ll fast until they finally agree to some kind of Friends spin-off.
    What’s that? They already have? Good… I just got cupcakes from the snack machine and I’m really hungy.

  2. FYI………it started in 1994. So for 10 YEARS you missed a well-written, well-acted show with amazing chemistry. It’s really in a class of its own. (And by the way, I was also a huge fan of Seinfeld.) Please stop dissing my favorite show or I may have to stop reading your blog….. 🙂
