We were religious watchers the first half of the show's run, and just casual watchers from time to time over the past 5 years or so. Funny thing is that I was taping tonight's show, since Patty wouldn't be back 'til around 10. I initially had the tape going on NBC, but half way through the episode I changed the channel to HBO so I couldn't hear any "spoilers" in the background while the show was taping.
Unfortunately, I totally brainfarted and forgot to flip the TV/VCR switch, so the tape just kept recording Matrix Reloaded, which is the channel I had flipped to. I had no idea, until Patty and I were halfway through the Friend's finale, when all of the sudden it just cut to Matrix. Uh-oh. Got some very dirty looks at that point.
So we saw the first half, and missed the rest unfortunately. I did catch the clip on the NBC news later on when Rachel tells Ross "I got off the plane". Guess that was all I really needed to see.
While I won't miss the show desparately, or anything like that, it's always kinda sad to see something that's been around for so long just up and end. Guess it was kinda like a security blanket that was always still nearby if you needed it...
There's always syndication though.
Hopefully this will allow Jennifer Aniston some time to focus on putting together a real nice Playboy spread.
