    It's going to be a slow day at work.


    Which one are you sad to see go? Myself I could care less about Friends, but I’m going to really miss Frasier. I think Frasier has been more consistent over its run than Friends and I enjoyed the humor much more.

    Thoughts?

    Glad to see both shows go. Didn't like either of them.

    don't like either of them. Good riddance to both. I did see a report yesterday that indicates Kelsey Grammer may be involved in a new sitcom, but with the same Frasier character. NBC who had first shot at the sitcom decided not to pursue it so its open to any network now.

    Well, I never HATED Frasier like I do Friends. Never really watched it either.

    Frazier smoked the dope. At least the friends stayed clean and out of trouble. I'll miss friends. But I'm sure i'll get to see them every day for about 10 years on USA or something.

    I hated Frasier. I never thought it was funny in the least. Friends I could stand but I'm not going to miss either of these shows. NBC must be really worried about their Thursday night next season.

    I have never seen an episode of Frasier.

    I have seen every episode of Friends.

    Therefore, I choose Friends.

    By the way, the cast of Friends was offered $4 million a piece to do a reunion show within 2 years.

    They collectively turned it down... $4 million is chump change, seeing as how they've made nearly $100 million each in the 10 years Friends was on the air (and that is merely their salary for the show... not counting movies and outside stuff)

    Friends

    but it will live with us in syndication for decades.

    My wife is hooked...she has an emotional attachment to the show and its characters. I expect her to be genuinely upset tomorrow night when this show ends.

    Friends. I stopped watching Frasier two seasons ago. Still a great show and I'll definitely be watching the finale.

    Friends.

    They could plug me and my wife into the characters of Chandler and Monica and people would think the stories are identical. Spooky..

    Frasier, definitely. It isn't even close. Frasier is hilarious, with some of the best writing I've seen in a sitcom. To me, Friends is just a whole lot of tremendously overrated fluff.

    2 great shows. But Friends have nothing more to add with a continuing story. They have done it all and they have been dating internally too much now. Rachel and Joey ugh!!

    Frasier still had a lot of possibilities to make it stay interesting and I liked the humor since it is different than most of the american sitcoms and much more to my liking personally.

    But it was the greatest sitcom shows for years I think. ( Well after the Simpsons obviously)

    I can't wait to see Friends disappear. I don't think any of them are good leading actor material and will disappear. That's with the exception of Jennifer Aniston who will get some decent movie roles until her looks run out.

    LeBlanc won't be able to carry his own show and his schtick will grow tired quick.

    Yeah, but Adrianna LaCerva will be the main reason I watch LeBlanc's spinoff.

    Damn she's hot.

    I'm glad to see Friends go, but Frasier is my favorite TV show. I'm sad to see it go, but I'm sure the finale will be great!

    I probably won't watch either, but if I had to, I'd choose Frasier...Friends is over-rated and I really don't like that show...

    I liked both though I thought Frazier had really slipped over the past two seasons. I'm ready for both to end. The story arcs in Friends are just ripe to end. I'm worn out by Ross & Rachel, the adoption, etc. Just ready for it to come to a close.

    Ditto Frazier.

    Both shows started to suck a few years ago, which led to me finding better things to do on Thursday night, but at least Frasier had some brilliant moments. The Christmas episode of Frasier from a few years back is still my favorite.

    However I have watched neither of them for two years (since Daphne got fat and since Monica married Chandler) so I shouldn't be affected by the loss of either of them. I will watch the finales for curiosity's sake.
