The end of "Friends"

[Japher]

I was dissapointed. I hated Ross, I was hoping he would get hit by a bus or something. Rachel nor Monica didn't get naked. Chandler stayed in the closet. And my two favs, Phoebe and Joey, were really just brushed to the side... Oh, well. It was still funny.


Supid monkey!!! boy.

Ross was one of my favorite characters.

The thing is, you could never figure anything or anyone out if you're life depended on it -- take your wife for example.

Have you figured her out yet?

women don't count... actually, I am bad at reading people

Less than a week until the Fraiser final episode. Shame that so much of a deal has been made about Friends. Fraiser is the one that has won MUCH more awards (most awards of any American comedy series in history, IIRC), is the more critically acclaimed, and is just better written and acted.

Well, the difference is that Fraiser definitely jumped the shark, whereas Friends only kind of jumped the shark.

I cannot stand the Niles/Daphne relationship. It is never funny.

That's probably what was thought about Frasier when it was first suggested as a Cheers spinoff. Turned out to be rather successful.

I love Frasier, while technically it is a spinofff, it really isn't.

They managed to create an entirely new show with a completely different sytle than Cheers. The title character is different from the character he played on cheers.

I love Frasier, but Jaguar is right in saying that jumping the shark with the Niles/Daphne marriage really hurt the show. Got rid of one of the show's most interesting subplots and replaced it with comic deadweight. Frasier may indeed have been better than Friends in its prime, but it hasn't aged nearly as gracefully.

That's true. The later series of Frasier have been pretty crap.

I rather enjoyed this season though.

Some of us haven't seen this season.

Kind of jumped the shark? Friends definetly jumped the shark. Fraiser HAD to have Niles/Daphne get married, but at least they did it during the end.

And yes, this season has been great.

Fraiser is the only show in history to have 5 straight Emmy victories in Best Comedy and nominated the times it didn't win, not to mention many other awards. Friends has won once and nominated only a few times here and there.

I just watched the last episode of Lexx. That was a great way to end a great, in unconventional, show.
