My buddy, another James, gave me a ration for watching Friends. That's okay, though; I'm secure in my manhood. "The other James," on the other hand, has to worry about that kind of stuff.

I will now make people hate me (well, if they read my blog they do already): Friends is a show that absolutely never made me laugh. I'm bright enough (maybe) to know that all comedies are an act and intentional (unless you're listening to a candidate's political speeches), but when I see Friends I see a bunch of actors reading lines. Now, I don't feel that way about Seinfeld, Drew Carey etc, I like comedy from David Letterman to Benny Hill to any Bill Murray movie, etc. But Friends has left me cold. But wadda I know? I also like the Three Stooges and always found Frasier a real bore.

Whats with the ripping on the Seinfeld close? It was perfect. A bunch of selfish whiny people get sent to jail for being selfish and whiny. How else to you end a show about nothing.

Being the other James that Boyd speaks of....the only reason I ever watched friends was to check out Aniston and her perfect "eyes".

Heh. I caught the next-to-last episode of Frasier the other night and thought, "I want to see that finale."

Anybody know when it's on?

I believe the promo I saw last night said it would be next Thursday, Kevin. You know, they've got an empty slot there now.

Unfriendly
James Joyner wraps up the Friends season finale around the blogosphere which gives me a chance to make a confession - I've never watched an episode of the series and I didn't start tonight....

Friends, That's A Wrap It's hard to watch 2 hours and 4 minutes of anything with a mildly fussy baby who refuses to give up a burp... Anyway, here's the no spoiler review of the final evening with Friends: The final episode - It's...

I Cry At Commercials, Too
James Joyner gathered a number of bloggers' reactions to the final episode of Friends. Like I pointed out yesterday, because of the time zone difference I saw it hours later than most of you. But, hey, that doesn't mean I don't want to put my ...
