I’ll Be in Syndication for You

    I’m writing about Friends mainly because I feel obligated to write about Friends. I can’t say I love the show, I can’t say I hate the show. I was never a fan, yet as far as I know I’ve seen every episode. So, yes, I’ll be watching the finale, but I can’t say I particularly care about how it all ends. I would have been happy enough ending the series when Chandler and Monica started their relationship. Everything since then has just been treading water; and all the most recent complications (Ross & Rachel’s baby, Rachel & Joey’s relationship, Phoebe’s abrupt marriage) have had a tinge of desperation to them, as the producers try to breathe life into the series but fall flat. However, I don’t want to end up trashing the show. It was likable enough and had an appealing cast. But to be perfectly honest, a big reason I’ve kept watching was just to gauge how chilly it was in Monica’s apartment.
