Gothamist loves the fine folks at Fametracker; they have Fame Audits on the six Friends cast members and make this guess about their post-Friends lives: "Continued fame and good fortune for some; nothing much good for others whose names rhyme with Batthew Jerry." And damn you, NBC, for airing a stupid Dateline special about Friends instead of Law & Order last night.
Jump the Shark has 199 votes saying Friends jumped on Day One.
The Times on watching Friends in the city and the beauty of moo points. The Post predicts what will happen (as if we couldn't guess) and the Daily News looks at the stars' lives. Gawker wants to call this a holiday and one woman tells Newsday, "I don't care how it ends, as long as it ends soon. It's absurd."
Various Friends stories from Google News. And are you watching Friends at a bar or Pier 25, or getting drunk in a corner?

Speaking of syndication, there's a silly tool that tells you which Friend you're most like on WB11:

Unfortunately, I'm a Bing
I'm apparently Rachelesque.
My God I can't wait for it to be over and for the damned spin off show to flop.
I have not been this giddy about a crappy show ending since Sex in the City.
This bit from Thomas Friedman's Op-Ed piece was great: "I was just in Japan, and even young Japanese dislike us. It's no wonder that so many Americans are obsessed with the finale of the sitcom 'Friends' right now. They're the only friends we have, and even they're leaving."
Friends jumped the shark when it was a idea scribbled in the margin of some tv exec's script of "The Big Chill II" back in 1986. I cant' wait to see it go, flushed like the corn-speckled turd that it is....My only fear is that people will talk fondly about it 30 years from now as "great TV before there was reality TV". ...gag, retch, hurl.
corn-speckled turd!
That is so wonderful, I'm crying.
Enjoy it while you can....I sense that gothamist is about to delete my comment..
I don't think "Friends" is exactly brilliant, but I do think it was a fairly decent, and at times actually good, show. People who so virulently hate it seem to be hating something besides the show--popular culture itself? Beats me.
I also wanted to say: I like Matthew Perry! His movies so far are icky, but I think he's damn funny, on the show and in what interviews I've seen. I wish him well. Cox and LeBlanc--them I feel pretty "eh" about.
Hey, man that's cool, you're totally entitled to your opinion...I so don't agree........Yeah, I hate popular vulture, I mean culture, with a passion....It' s a sign of how we as a (psuedo-civiilzation is going down the toilet) bye bye....
don't worry kowgurl, I'll be there for you when the rains start to fall
What a final episode! I don't believe that Phoebe has a penis! And Ross is gay!
I don't hate popular culture, I just have an aversion to awkwardly written PauseHereForLaughs dialogue and robotic acting. Glad some people enjoyed it, but every time I switched over to last night's episode I felt woozy from the Cliche Overdose.
