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.

What a final episode! I don't believe that Phoebe has a penis! And Ross is gay!

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.

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.

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."

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.

Speaking of syndication, there's a silly tool that tells you which Friend you're most like on WB11: http://wb11.trb.com/entertainment/syn/bal-friends-whichfriendareyou.weightedquiz?track=nyg Unfortunately, I'm a Bing
