    No he doesn't, not that I know of, but in 1987 I was at a party in Los Angeles where Grammar snorted enough coke to make Keith Richards cringe.

    I haven't liked Frasier in many years and Friends has sucked balls this season.

    I liked Friends in its prime, but I won't be sad to see it go. It'll be in reruns forever.

    Frasier is okay, but I love Friends. I have not been able to watch all the new episodes due to work and suck but I will definitely watch the one tomorrow.

    at first i thought monica and chandler was a weird coupling until i realized i am pretty much both of them put together. a really insecure person who's always making jokes, especially in uncomfortable situations and the hypercompetitive person with a few obsessive-compulsive things on the side. that episode where they threw that ball around all night and then phoebe walked in and caught it and set it down and monica tried to rationalize that the game wasn't over, that's pretty much me.

    as for the thread. Frasier at it's peak (like the first 5 or 6 seasons) ranks behind only Cheers and The Simpsons for me on the comedic greatness ladder. the writing was so perfect and it deserved all the emmys it got. i was rolling on the floor nearly every episode back in the day. However, Friends was also hilarious and one of my favorite shows ever and due to Frasier becoming extremely stale the last 3 to 4 years (much moreso than Friends imo) I'll have to go with Friends. Friends is like a landmark show and it ending is an event. Frasier ending is just saying bye to a brilliant show past it's prime (the Frasier character has been around for 20 freakin' years, amazing). i'll probably have to remember to set tivo for the frasier finale in case i accidentally forget it's on whereas Friends i'm gonna be on my couch for without a doubt. is all 2 hours tomorrow the finale or does it involve other stuff?

    I'm not sure what NBC's gonna do with thursday next year but Scrubs should be nice, and better be on thursday. if they ever cancel Scrubs i'm gonna have to whoop some ass. that show is genius. i'll rewind and listen to the same joke i just heard five seconds before on that show i like it so much.


    edit: man, talking about these two shows and then adding in Cheers (which i'm too young to have watched but jave watched religiously on nick at nite for the last few years) and ER i realized NBC has had 4 shows run for at least a decade that have been some of my favorite ever. did NBC ever have friends, frasier, seinfeld, and ER all in the same thursday lineup? i'm pretty sure it did and if so, damn that was a powerful lineup. can anything match that?

    I like both shows, but the end of Peri Gilpin's run on television is far more traumatic as far as I'm concerned.

    I liked Friends back when it first came out....but was never a big fan. If it was on, I turned it on.

    I really can't stand it anymore. I could careless about both shows. I don't watch Frasier either. I don't hate Frasier, but I won't sit there 30min to watch that show.

    I hardly ever watch standard tv shows anymore, since I got cable I have been watching all the Adult Swim, and Comedy Central shows.

    Frasier; I've been a fan for years and, thanks to syndication, I've seen almost every episode.

    Ever since Friends jumped the shark with the whole Ross/Rachel thing, it's been unwatchable.

    I've watched probably 2 episodes of Friends.
    I've watched probably 10 episodes of Frasier.

    From those 2 episodes of Friends, I don't get the popularity. Maybe I just don't relate to the characters. I didn't find it too funny. That dingbat blonde woman that sounds like she's got one brain cell left and it's on life support is pretty funny though. Great character. I remember Lisa Kudrow appearing in an episode of Cheers and she was a similar character. She was funny then as well.

    Frasier in a landslide for me.

    Wont be sad to see either go. But from what I've seen, the best of Frasier is far greater than the tripe that is Friends.

    Imo, instead of the title "Friends", they shoulda gone with "Saved by the Bell, the grown up years". And that song. It is cringe material for sure. I can't believe they never scrapped it.

    Chlamydia in a laugher.

    I think Friends is a great show, with a great cast. I like it better. I don't care too much for the characters on Frasier, but it's very well written and it's got a good ensemble too.

    But Aqua Teen Hunger Force is the best TV show of all time.

    I love Adrianna. Although I can't see anyway that her storyline on the Sopranos ends on a happy note. Poor Adrianna. Poor, poor dead or witness protected Adrianna.

    Friends is ending! I've waited 10 years for it to be over. Unfortunately, it will rear its ugly head on reruns forever. That gang of idiots gives my generation (well, the generation a few years ahead of mine) a bad name.

    Tie.

    Still miss Seinfeld more.

    My wife has seasons 1-4 "Best of Friends" - 5 episodes each... that's plenty of each for me to get the jist of the season. Just like a soap opera. Miss it 6 months, come back, same crap. ;)

    But we're goin to my wife's sister's house tomorrow night for a big end of Friends party. :rolleyes:

    Free food I guess. :cool:
