The other day, I remembered the other funny line in the history of Friends: the one about Joey's tailor ("That's the way they do it."/"In PRISON!"). Other than that, I'm really hard pressed to understand why this show had the legs it did. It is not a compendium of cultural knowledge like Seinfeld, and it resorts too quickly to the "Scene: X kisses Y; audience goes WHOOOOOO!" school of dramatic twists.
Watching this show in its last season is like watching a relative with Alzheimer's fade away in a nursing home. One that you were never close to but your family said you were supposed to love.
BTW, Ross looks like absolute shit. His career is over when this gets put to bed.
Huh. I thought this was a disappointment. I kept asking, "Why does that Elliot chick look like crap?" It was like she skipped makeup. Oh, it's the standard Makeover Plotline. Of course.
Agree on Cox/Kelso thing. Cox has annoyed me from Day 1. His dialog is good; his delivery got old by the end of the first episode.
I'll add my own: Angel. I think this should be mandatory FB watching, since the entire season is about being good inside an evil law firm, and the compromises we make in the interests of continued employment.
Making Gunn a lawyer was an interesting twist. I was wondering how they'd get around Cal. Rules Prof. Conduct, Rule 1-310. One down, four to go.
Looks like they'll make good use of Harmony.

Jesus , the pendanticism and condescencion on this board is running rampant. First Slave feels compelled to note he ihas lurked but has saw nothing worth replying to befroe he replies. Totally unnecessary statement along the lines of Lester's reply to the song thread that he isnt gonna reply to the song thread. People, if this board is boring and not worthy of your posts, then stop lurking and leave already. I wont miss you.
Then AG with his little critique of Friends. Pal, this show had plenty of funny moments and one of the all time great sitcom romances. It had great characters in its time. You apparnetly have seen too many reruns so that its gotten stale, or are still watching after the characters have gotten to the end of their arc (and I hvanet seen it in two years so I am not saying they have). But this show was very funny for a lot of people. Just bc someone is too erudite , or fancies himself that way, does not mean that someone should think his special little brain is wired the same way as those of us Friends loving and laughing masses. Maybe Bilmore has room in his kayak for that ibg head of yours?
