I am proud to say that I have watched every single episode, although it's a very uncool thing to admit. I believe there had been no other sit-com produced in the last 10 years that is in the same league (unless you can call The Office a sit-com). I am sure I will shed a tear, if that makes me a sad person, then so be it!
I agree with kags seemingly 99% of sit-coms run and run. Now I don't know whether it's the fact that they become tiresome following the same routine, or whether it's that its viewers mature, or a combination of both... but what I do know is that stopping a sit-com at the right time is much more intelligent and highly commendable in my book, and makes it even better. I know The Office may not be a sit-com, but it is a prime example. It's about the best programme I've ever watched on television and, although I was distraught, I had to admit that stopping it after a second series (and Christmas Specials) was just about the best thing that ever happened. Imagine if it had gone on to a third season and somehow not been as good? It would have unnecessarily marred the whole thing. Not unlike Only Fools and Horses - obviously it still has its fans, but the old ones are still classics, whereas the newer ones started to become tiresome and unfulfilling.
It's not hard to log onto the net and post comments about a show. What is hard however, is keeping a show fresh and original, which the writers and crew of 'Friends' have done for 10 years. It really is simple, if you don't like the show, don't watch it! In 20 years time you'll look back on 'Friends' like we look back on 'Cheers'. Respect that.
