    I'm not big on sitcoms, but I do know I'm sick of 'Friends'. It's difficult to reconcile, because if it's on, I'll probably sit down, watch, and laugh.

    I agree. I think it's hard for any actor who has played in a TV role for so long to portray a new character. Oh, and I hate spin-off shows.

    'Frazier' is the exception to this rule. I'm sick of him, too.

    You're right. Beatin' that one into the ground too. USA TODAY had a big article about the Joey spinoff today, btw. They've milked the "Must See TV" thing to it's limit I think. From Cosby to Joey? Not even close, really.

    Very true, I always thought that show was really well-written. But just like Friends, it's time to cancel the show. They should have ended it with Niles and Daphne getting together or not at all, but it's really getting old now.

    yep.
    NBC just isn't pushing much new hot material through. Friends should've ended with the proposal and the baby and that's it.
    Personally, I never much liked what they did by featuring Joey lately - and therefore making the rest of the cast's roles dumber. How he's gonna just go do his own thing, without the rest? How're they going to rid Rachel of his life, especially? He can't just go back to big old dumb loveable player about town. This is probably going to be as bad or worse than the Michael Richards Show, which I really wanted to see do something for both Richards and Tim Meadows.

    A spin off with Chandler and Monica might be doable, but it would be tough to make it good. A good segueway would be them having their first child and moving upstate maybe.

    what they need to do is spin off marge simpson to her own show. i like marge simpson. i'd watch her show if she had one.

    joey? his own show? hmmm...thats a real stretch.
