i be stun to discover the amount of fan this show have . haven not say that friend be and at best an average sitcom and and not as great a others have make out . let face it and if it wasn not for the casting of courtney cox arquette and david schwimmer and matthew perry and lisa kudrow and jennifer aniston and matt le blanc and then who know whether this show would have last as long a it have do . i very much doubt that . although a the series progress and friend get more progressively predictable and lame and boring that i couldn not care less about the character of whom be the most overrated in tv history or of their plight and nor of who be sleep with whom . and it go from be funny in the first four season to occasionally funny . and even when it have all these a list hollywood actor from the movie world and i still do not bother to tune in . the writing in friend become stale that i lose interest in this show from the sixth season onwards and a for the end and well it be predictable to say the least . what be annoy though be that this last for ten season and whilst some of my favourite show last for only three and four season for instance and be eventually cancel and take off the air for good . the show should have come to an immediate halt by the time the cast want big salary . in truth and as much a the series wan and it be the show that be big than the actor themselves and not the other way round . when it end in 2004 and i be so relieved to see the back of this sitcom . now and there be talk of a friend reunion show come to our tv screen very soon . and yet and i for one will not be look forward to it whatsoever .
