Only one in that list I have seen was Seinfeld. I was ok but most of the other episodes were better. We will see Fraiser next week, a show that I have actually watched on and off for many years.

I liked M*A*S*H, Bob Newhart, Cheers, and Wonder Years finales. All classic.

is friends over? finally eh, that show has been crap for years. At least with seinfeld the whole last season was pretty damn good except the last episode. Can't win them all I guess.

the cheers one was good. "sorry we're closed"

and the newhart one was awesome, him waking up from a dream and in bed with his wife from a previous show. great ending

I know man, I honestly didn't know it was this week. Don't watch tv except for cartoon network at 2:00am. Other than that I've been pretty much constantly in the lab trying to graduate. Don't just assume that I'm trying to be COOL as you put it. I really could care less about friends, like I said its been crap for years.

I don't think the Friends finale sucked any worse than their regular shows. If people like Friends for the most part they would have like the final episode. Now the Sienfeild Finale sucked

People expect too much. I knew that the friends people wouldn't orgy, so for me it was fine.

One word:

hype

It never lives up to it.

A bigger shocker for the end of Friends would have been to have Rachel die in a plane crash on the way to Paris... Ross kill himself to be with Rachel... The Bings' babies be retarded, or black! =)... Phoebe get a job as a porn star... and Joey get arrested for becoming REALLY good friends with a little girl down the hall.

:D

I liked the Seinfeld finale. They brought back all the oddball characters, and then threw them into jail. Finally, the closed with Seinfeld doing his schtick in PRISON, which is a funny self mocking little jab. No mawkish, tearfilled goodbyes or anything.
