I haven't even seen the final episode. I liked Friends after it got big, I stopped liking it two seasons ago, it should of ended long before then i my opinion.

I don't think your necessarily jaded, just more not uneccesarily nostalgic loving the show just because your supposed to. That your not showing false sadness over the "end of an era". Gag to that, because the show hasn't been that great in a while.

Yeah, I lost interest a couple of years back as well - can't remember why although I suspect it may have been around the time the writers stopped giving Monica any funny lines and just had her shout all the time... what was up with that?!

It really should have ended a lot sooner than it did, and it's weird, there were all these parties and things organised for the end of Sex & The City (something I never watched) but there was nothing for the end of Friends. I only know one person who would consider herself a "fan" of the show (she can actually recite entire scripts) won't even see the episode for another couple of days because she's in Paris this weekend. So even the hardcore fans aren't going out of their way for it anymore.

Whereas, when Buffy ended I nearly lynched my almost-brother in law for jokingly phoning me in the middle of the show. He thought he was being funny, really he was just being the irritating little prick he actually is... oooo, issues much! *grin*

I've been so angry about the end of show memory sequence type things that have been on lately. Especially on VH1's best week ever. They have a clip thing for all the cancelled shows of this season, and they showed Whoopie, and Freinds, and all these other ones, and not once have they mentioned the end of Angel.

You would think they would at least reference the crazy fans who hired a billboard to drive around and what not. I mean, really, they showed a bunch of stuff on the end of Friends.

I thought I was going to miss the end of Angel. I almost died. It was a horrible moment.

It's always bugged me that anything remotely sci-fi/horror/fantasy related is deemed to be unworthy by TV execs when they make a helluva lot of money out of them! Sales of dvd's and videos of genre shows are always going to be *so* much higher than anything else for the simple reason that genre shows tend to attract what researchers have called "avid fans" - people who will go out of their way to make sure they don't miss an episode, and who will more than likely buy the dvds and potentially other merchandise as well. People who make the shows they watch part of their lives.

People like us.

*grin*

I'm glad you didn't miss the last episode, I did see you were worried about it - did you watch it in the hotel?

Yes I did. The first thing I did when I walked in the room was turn on the tv to make sure they had the WB. Which they didn't. I hate that even the nicest hotels no longer give you a full selection of cable channels, anyways, I finally found the hour later repeat channel for WB prime time shows. So I had to wait until 9 to see it, but it as worth it. And then I moped.

It was on again Tuesday though, I started watching when everyone was handed out thier assignments, because that was when it got good.

Oh btw, I'm proud to be one of those crazy obsessive people like us. Life is so much more funwhen you can freak people out by the extent of your rage and emotion when it comes to a show. :grins right back:

Crazy-obsessive people like us are the wave of the future, after all, isn't it written somewhere that "the geek shall inherit the Earth"?

Or something like that...

*grin*

I hate to love you and leave you but I have to be up early in the morning so I gotta go and try to get some sleep after the three bloody hours I got last night! (was at a charity gig that ran late, then had to drive home, walk the dog, do the dishes and try to get some sleep before getting up at 5.30 this morning - I'm shattered! Gig was fun though)

TTFN as Chloe/First would say...

Well I won't say I'm happy about this whole being abandoned thing, but if you must sleep, you must sleep.

Night!
