[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter and I had Friends on yesterday as we were doing some mindless work. It was the time period around the wedding/Rachel’s surprise pregnancy. Ross started seeing Mona. She was very cute and a better match for him than Rachel

I was actually mad when they forced them together with a kid and the stupidity in the finale. They no longer made sense.[/quote]

I would have been pissed if Ross and Rachel did not end up together. It's escapist entertainment. I want the happily ever after.[/quote]

DP. In my opinion the writers drew out the Ross-Rachel thing for so long that I didn’t care about them getting together in the last episode. If you try so many times with someone and it never seems to work, maybe it’s just not meant to be![/quote]

Yes!  The series lost me because no matter what it was - the topic was really drawn out way too long.  Friends probably could have been condensed to five years, easy.

I felt at the time (I was the demographic/age they were going for) the characters were too much of something or another: Rachel was too princessy, Ross was too whiny, Phoebe was too ditsy, Chandler was too sarcastic (and I love sarcasm), Joey was too dunce-like, and Monica was too anal. I get it, they had to have a "thing", but they latched onto that "thing" instead of creating more interesting story lines.  [/quote]

Get out of my head! Are you me? By season 5 or so, the whole show was about the character flaws you mentioned above.

I watched until the end, but there is so much that bugged me.[/quote]

I thought Chandler lost a lot of his sarcastic nature when he got with Monica.

And after Vegas, I was tired of will they / won’t they! They made Monica and Chandler work, Big Bang couples worked and still be funny. Amazing they couldn’t make Ross and Rachel work and still be funny.[/quote]
