"How YOU doin'?" "I'm bored!"

[slackermonkey]

A lot of other shows' boards have these kinds of threads now, so I figured I'd start one for "Friends."

If you're bored or just have something meaningless to post, do it here.

[slackermonkey]

My day's been nothing but total boredom. College classes, waiting an hour and a half for my ride, nothing to read on the internet, nothing on TV...

I think I'm gonna go to a bookstore, grab some coffee and just relax.

[slackermonkey]

Could a mod or someone sticky this? I'd hate to see this thread peter out.

[barwars]

Trying to keep this alive....

yesterday I bought Season 5 and Season 6.... but I haven't even finished watching Season 4 yet.

As a former hater, I must say.... this show just gets better and better.

[slackermonkey]

Season 4 is my personal favorite season, I think you'll love it. Everyone has something to do all year-long.

I keep flying through the episodes (Im only on the first disc).... I want to see what happens with Chandler and Joey's furniture.

[slackermonkey]

Wow, that is flying. Last I remember you talking about it (like a week ago) you were just starting season 3.

I imagine you'll be all caught up with the first eight seasons by the end of the month. :p

I'm getting Season 8 for free.... I still need to get Season 7.

But as good as Friends is.... it all goes on hold when Frasier arrives.

[slackermonkey]

I got into "Frasier" late over this past summer, so I've only seen two episodes from the last season (the Maris murderer two-parter). I'm looking forward to it too, if only because I've gotten addicted to watching at least two episodes of something before going to sleep.

The Maris murderer storyline is one of my favorite of the entire series.

[barwars]

I just finished Disc 1 of Season 4.

I liked it. For me, "Frasier" is one of those shows I watch to pass the time or to have something to watch, but if I miss an episode in syndication I won't be too upset. I don't think it's a bad show at all, it's just not quite my taste. I like it enough to buy the DVDs though.

I'm anxious to see how the finale played out, even though I know what happened.

Time is money.


The Frasier finale is one of the best (I liked it more than the Friends finale, but I'm a much bigger fan of Frasier than Friends).... because it's not the usual "ohh, everybody can go now and be happy and it's all over"

I wasn't particularly fond of Frasier and Charlotte as a couple, but the final twist in the final moment of the finale was very interesting, and I'm glad they went that route. (well, unless of course Lilith could return, but thats another thread, another time)

Neither do I, for the most part. I only will if I need a serious fix for a certain show and have gotten tired of whatever episodes are on the DVDs.

It sounded like a really good finale. I usually don't like the happy ending kind of finale that "Friends" had, but it was appropriate for the theme of the show. They started out as codependent people still finding their place in life and thinking of each other as family, and by the end they'd matured to the point of getting married, having kids, basically starting their own family. They didn't have to be so closeknit anymore, they had their own lives now.

I couldn't believe they had him end up with some random new character. I would have wanted Lilith too. Can never have enough Lilith. I really, really, really liked the twist ending though.

I saw "The One With Chandler in a Box" and couldn't stop laughing. Of the 3 or 4 Thanksgiving episodes I've seen so far, this was the best.

I'll watch "TOW The Embryos" today.

[slackermonkey]

Monica has maybe her best line of the whole series in that episode.

"Fine, judge me all you want, but married a lesbian, left a guy at the altar, fell in love with a gay ice dancer, threw a girl's wooden leg into the fire, lives in a box!"

[barwars]

"TOW The Embryos" was GREAT. I loved it. AND.... it was further proof that the show could work without Phoebe.

I'm in the middle of Disc 3 now.... but Im here at work until 6:30.

[slackermonkey]

"Embryos" is probably the most popular Friends episode ever.

You can actually play Ross's game as an extra on the DVD, too.

[slackermonkey]

Oh, and the best thing about it is the apartment-switching storyline that starts with that episode. I don't know why, but for some reason that's hilarious to me.

[barwars]

I've never seen an episode where they had switched apartments, so this is all new to me.... and I'm loving it.

Joey not realizing the carpet changed to hardwood was hilarious.

And Monica covering the holes with coloring pages.... then Rachel rips one, and Monica says something like "I know, there isn't a hole there, but I really like that picture" hahaha, this is my favorite storyline of the series.

And is it just me.... or is Ross better with Emily than Rachel??

[slackermonkey]

It's just you. In about a dozen episodes, you'll more than likely be hating Emily. I'm still all for Ross and Rachel, just not in the obsessive 'OMG RNR 4EVER <3' way, though. Never like that.

I assume you haven't gotten to "The One With the Fake Party" yet... it's one of my favorite season 4 episodes (but almost never gets mentioned).

That was actually the last episode I watched.
I'll finish up Disc 3 tonight, and start Disc 4.
Because Im a loser home on a saturday night, because I have to be at work by 6:45.

[slackermonkey]

Loser? I can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday night.

But I get plenty of social skills and that sunshine and fresh air crap, so it's all good.

I just watched "TOW The Free Porn" -- very funny.

[slackermonkey]

I know so many people who have said "Thank you" when someone says I love you. It's the funniest thing.

I would say the next great episode to look out for would be "The One With All the Wedding Dresses."

[slackermonkey]

Haha, what happened to this thread? Neither of us have posted here in several days.

[barwars]

I was busy watching Season 4.

I watched the first episode of Season 5 today, one of my favorites. I love the whole Chandler/Monica thing.

I'm jealous that you have Frasier - The Complete Final Season.... whore.

[slackermonkey]

If it helps, I haven't seen it yet, and it's looking like I might not have enough money to get Seinfeld right away.

The Monica & Chandler affair is one of my favorite running storylines from the series.

Guess you got to Joey watching "Cheers" by now?

hahaha, yes, one of my favorite scenes.
I realized that no other show could do that. The only one that comes close is M*A*S*H, but then again that's too sad to cheer someone up.

:eek: You have to get Seinfeld.... did you read about the deal at Best Buy??

[slackermonkey]

Yep, that's the deal I was going to go for. I had already preordered it at Suncoast months ago, but the free disc, TV on DVD issue and lower price are tempting enough to make me switch my preorder.

I'm working my ass off to scrape as much money together as I can before next Tuesday. I probably should have held off on "Frasier" til I got "Seinfeld," since I like "Seinfeld" far, far more.

(I'll bet that earns me another whore comment.)

haha, nope.... liking Sein more than Frasier is understandable.

WRONG.... but understandable.

[slackermonkey]

True. It could be worse, I could like "The Nanny" far better than "Frasier."

Wait 'til you see "The One Where Everybody Finds Out" in season 5. It's one of the best episodes ever, and it's very Frasier-esque.

I've seen it before.... and liked it a lot.
BUT, I'm sure watching it on DVD, and with the whole series (thus far) in perspective, it will be even better.

But, as I said earlier, as much as I like Friends.... it all goes on hold once Frasier arrives.

But, it's for free, I've got to keep reminding myself.

[slackermonkey]

I could never stand to wait. Even if it was for free.

Of course, I'm sure I'd be kicking myself for not waiting by the time I'd have finished watching.

[barwars]

Trust me.... I'm kicking myself enough to be kicking you.

Ohh, and, I stole your "Checklist" idea.
Thanks.

[slackermonkey]

I can't really blame you. When you said you were getting Friends season 8 for free, I wanted to kick you... then I got my copy before you did. Sucker.

And yeah, take the checklist. I'm sure I stole it from some other user anyway.

Sucker is right.... but, I can handle it.
I wouldn't have watched Season 8 of Friends until I finished the others anyways.... but now that Im getting it for free, I'll have to watch a few episodes before reviewing it.

But with Frasier.... Ive already watched the three seasons I have countless times. Im ready for Season 11. Maybe a little too ready.

[slackermonkey]

Yeah, I hate to watch episodes/seasons out of order.

I'm still kind of pissed that Paramount released season 11 of "Frasier" out of order, but I'll be watching it anyway. Any confusion is worth it just to have something to watch. At least the others are getting released.

I can recommend a few season 8 episodes for you to watch to do your review, btw. Let me know.

I'm not supposed to watch them in order for the review anyways, unless the series MUST be watched in order.

So if you can recommend three or four episodes, that would be great.
Thanks!

[slackermonkey]

I would say "The One After I Do," "The One Where Rachel Tells Ross," "The One With the Videotape" and "The One Where Rachel Has a Baby" would all be good sample episodes. The last three even get commentaries.

Some of my personal favorites from that year would be "The One With the Stripper," "The One Where Chandler Takes a Bath," "The One in Massapequa" and "The One With the Baby Shower."

[slackermonkey]

Seems as good a place to put this as any...

Did anyone see the promo with Matthew Perry appearing on "Scrubs?" I don't watch the show (though I've been meaning to) but I may tune in just to see him. He was always my favorite of the six.

[barwars]

He's my favorite too.... and I've been looking forward to his episode on Scrubs since it was first announced. I love that show.

[barwars]

The funniest line of last night's Joey was when he spurtted out "How YOU doin'?" while reading the script with his daughter.

I just wish Paramount would release Wings on DVD already. I'm getting so ticked that they seem to be completely ignoring Wings(as usual).

Hopefully they're waiting to release it when all of Frasier and Cheers are out.

No offense to anyone but I think Wings should have been released before Frasier but Oh well :(

At least Wings is FINALLY in the top 10 shows at tvshowsondvd.com :D

I loved that. I didn't expect it, and it's been too long since I've heard him say it.

The only thing better would be to see one of them doing Ross's fist-banging sign for f*ck you.

Originally posted by Angela Micelli

No, it shouldn't have. It's a good show, but "Cheers" and "Frasier" are far more popular and well-known. It's smarter to get those shows out first. I'm sure "Wings" will be out soon, but no way should it have come before Paramount's moneymaker sitcoms.

[slackermonkey]

I'm bored. Someone start talking about something.

[barwars]

I finished Disc 1 of Season 5 last night.... based on those 7 episodes, it's my favorite season.

Then I went to a lock-in at school.... stayed up till 7 in the morning.

Came home, went to sleep.... woke up about an hour ago.

[slackermonkey]

Season 5 is a great season. Next to seasons 1, 4 and 8, it's one of my favorites.

I love "The One With the Kips" and "The One Where Ross Moves In"... neither are really episodes you think of when you talk about season 5, though.

[barwars]

Of the first five seasons (the ones I've watched on DVD)....

This is how I'd rank them....

5. Season 2
4. Season 3
3. Season 1
2. Season 4
1. Season 5

[slackermonkey]

I would say...

1. Season 4
2. Season 1
3. Season 5
4. Season 3
5. Season 2

The second half of season 5, for me at least, isn't quite as good as the first half. It's still one of the better seasons, but it loses something in the middle.

[slackermonkey]

Also, I have to ask... when you watch the DVDs, do you listen to the commentaries and check out the special features, or just watch the episodes?

[barwars]

I watch the episodes, and special features.
I'll go back and watch the commentaries later. (I have watched the commentaries on Season 1 and Season 2 though)

Once I finish all the seasons I own, I'll watch the commentaries.

[slackermonkey]

Just curious, most people I know only care about the episodes and never bother with the special features. What's the point of DVD without special features???

[barwars]

Exactly.
"The One That Goes Behind The Scenes" is a GREAT featurette. I just finished Season 5 today, and I watched that too.

I was sick all yesterday and watched most of Season 5.

I wont start Season 6 for a while.
With Seinfeld coming out tomorrow and everything.

[slackermonkey]

I agree, although I've always wondered why it's on season 5 when it's a documentary of the season 6 premiere.

Could I be more psyched about Seinfeld tomorrow?

[barwars]

I'm going right after school to Best Buy.

Getting myself the Re-Gift Set with the magazine and 9th disc.
Then I'm coming home, and planting myself in front of the TV for a Seinfeld marathon.

I'll probably fly through Seasons 1&2 in tomorrow alone.
The entire set will most likely be done by the end of Thanksgiving break.


I have to remember to record the reunion, seeing that I wont be home Thursday.


But, we're going to my aunt and uncle's house, and they're huge Sein-fans, so I'll wont be missing it.

[slackermonkey]

I actually saw that issue of EW in the mall today, and was too tempted not to buy it. I guess I'll just have two copies, then.

I'm waking up early tomorrow to hit Best Buy as soon as it opens to get the Re-Gift Set.

God bless whoever invented Tivo, since I'll be away for the day on Thanksgiving and won't have anyone at home to record The Seinfeld Story for me.

[slackermonkey]

I got my copy immediately after waking up this morning. Did you get yours?

No marathon for me tonight, sadly.

[barwars]

I HATE BEST BUY

They sold out, immediately.

They had 4 copies of each individual volume, and only 2 Re-Gift sets.

They said something screwed up with the shipping and much more will be in tomorrow.

AND, they wouldnt let me take the free disc

Which means, Im stuck waiting until tomorrow morning.

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[slackermonkey]

That's so weird. Mine had plenty of copies of each. But then, I'd guess that's not what you'd want to hear.

Couldn't you have tried Wal-Mart or something (assuming you can resist the white trashiness that is WM), then gone back to Best Buy tomorrow for the bonus disc and magazine?

Either way, sorry you didn't get yours.

[barwars]

I really want that 9th disc.

I guess I have to sacrifice.

[slackermonkey]

You can still get the bonus disc if you buy the gift set somewhere else. They sell them individually for $3.99.

[barwars]

Originally posted by slackermonkey

I guess I can manage until tomorrow (no school, so I'll be there immediately!) I'll watch Season 6 of Friends tonight, but it's not the same.

[slackermonkey]

Are you serious? At mine, they had a whole shelf of bonus discs right next to the individual volumes and gift sets, with a $3.99 price sticker on it. They should have let you buy it separately, otherwise there's no reason to have it on the shelf instead of at the register or something. Sounds like you've got a crappy Best Buy.

And yes, as much as I love Friends, it's just not the same as Seinfeld. But then, Seinfeld is in a whole sitcom category of its own.

Usually my Best Buy is great, this is the first problem I've ever had with them.

I asked if I could purchase the bonus disc seperately, but they said it can't be rung up unless purchased with one of the other DVDs.

I'm still pissed, but I overreacted.
Still wish I had it though.

[slackermonkey]

We should have everyone hold off on watching their Seinfeld DVDs until you get yours, as a sign of protest.

I've never liked Best Buy, but a free disc, free magazine, and cheaper price was hard to resist.

[barwars]

Originally posted by slackermonkey

Nah, go ahead, watch it.
I would.

[slackermonkey]

Thank God you finally said that. I've been holding back tears this whole time as my gift set sat on my bookshelf.

[slackermonkey]

Okay, so the bonus disc is essentially worthless.

All it is is 10 minutes of interviews with the supporting characters, talking about their roles before going on Seinfeld.

It would have made a nice extra on the DVDs, but it certainly isn't worth a whole extra disc. I figured it'd be something like a talk show appearance or a bonus episode. But 10 minutes of, well, nothing, isn't worth $4. Glad I got it for free.

[slackermonkey]

Oh, I'm sorry, there's also a trailer on here. That's much better.

Is this disc from Columbia or Best Buy?

[slackermonkey]

Not particularly. I mean, I'm glad I have it for completion's sake, but I doubt I'll ever watch it again.

[slackermonkey]

Where are your Frasier and Friends DVDs, btw? Sure is taking awhile, but I guess that's the downside of getting them for free.

[slackermonkey]

Haven't watched it yet. I like to save them until right before I go to bed. It's a habit.

[slackermonkey]

Isn't there a place on the website where you can check store availability?

[slackermonkey]

That sucks.

Guess you'll have to wait 'til tomorrow then, and get by on Friends season 6.

[slackermonkey]

Grrrrreat.

You've got a lot of catching up on DVDs to do.

Did you finally give in to starting Friends season 6 last night?

[slackermonkey]

These Seinfeld DVDs are fantastic.

Definitely get the 'Best of TV on DVD' Award this year.

Between Seinfeld, Frasier, visiting relatives, and a ****load of homework -- I haven't been online much.

I can't decide which is worse -- high school homework or college homework. You get more in high school, but in college it's usually harder.

It's not hard, just time-consuming.

As for the DVDs.... I'm about half way through Frasier, and on the second episode of Disc 2 of Seinfeld.

[slackermonkey]

I've hardly watched my Seinfeld DVDs. :( I'm a bad fan. Between Thanksgiving and school stuff, I haven't had time to watch much of it.

This is part of the reason I'm glad I don't watch too many shows. I can't imagine what it'd be like to have like 30 favorites on DVD and have to keep up with all of them.

[slackermonkey]

Bored. You know the drill. I seem to be bored a lot lately.

slackermonkey, are you going to become a moderator for this board? You should.

I just sent TJ a PM asking about changing the header. Maybe he'll see some of these posts and make me a moderator. Who knows.

I got Season 8 the other day, I watched enough episodes to review it.... but I didnt watch it all.

I'm still not done with Season 6, but I will finish it soon. (I'm on Disc 2)

Which seasons are your favorites? I like Season 5 the best overall but thought 1-4 were good too. 6-10 weren't the best, but I like them well enough.

Season 5 is my favorite, followed by 4.

I agree, 6-10 weren't quite as good.
Season 2 was the worst of the first 5.


Seasons, from best to worst: (keep in mind I haven't seen every episode)

Season 5
Season 4
Season 6
Season 1
Season 3
Season 8

And yeah, the new pic is great. Very Christmas-y, no? By the way, as a mod, am I able to change the pic whenever I want, or is that something only TJ can do?

Only TJ can change it, you can make suggestions though.

I finished Season 6.... one of my favorites.


Maybe it's an acquired taste, but Phoebe definately grew on me this season.

But, I do have to say.... if her character from "The One That Could Have Been", was what she always was, the show would be so much better.


And does anyone else find it odd that in episodes like "The One With Mac and C.H.E.E.S.E.", they seem to remember "The One That Could Have Been"??

[slackermonkey]

Yeah, from about the middle of season 5 on, the writers started making Phoebe become a little more real and a little more edgy. I don't know if that's what you picked up on, but she definitely started evolving around that time.

You mean the hug sequence with Joey & Chandler? I always thought that was weird too. I guess the producers or whoever just liked that hug and threw it in there.

[slackermonkey]

"TOW Chandler Can't Cry," I believe.

"Oh my God, what am I doing?!"

In these later seasons, you learn a lot about Phoebe's past, and it's always surprisingly dark... but in a funny way.

Anyone else not able to access friends-boards?

[slackermonkey]

Nope I still can't access it :mad:

[slackermonkey]

Weird. Maybe it's your computer?

Hmmm I don't know, I can't access it from any browser I use, I even tried with IE, and Firefox. Just says page cannot be displayed. I doubt I'd be banned, I barely post there :(

[slackermonkey]

It's been working for me all day. Wish I knew what to tell you. Maybe you could e-mail one of the mods there and tell them what the problem is, see if there's anything going on. I can give you the e-mail address if you want.

[spunkygirl]

Hmmm it's working now for me.

[slackermonkey]

So... who else is bored out of their mind?

[slackermonkey]

Anyone ask for any Friends-related stuff for Christmas?

[CarJackSnyder]

I did ... but of course I didn't get any of it!

[CarJackSnyder]

Who all here is going to buy Season 9 when it comes out March 8th? I know I am! :D

[slackermonkey]

I'll be getting it the day it comes out.

[CarJackSnyder]

Same here! :D

[slackermonkey]

Yesterday, there was a rerun of season 9 on tv and I didn't have anything else to do so I watched it, and oh my God, I forgot how much I love season 9. The first 2/3 or so of it anyway. I can't wait a month for it to come out.

[barwars]

I don't watch Friends at all in syndication. This will make the DVDs all the more enjoyable as I've only seen a handful of Season 9/10 episodes.

[slackermonkey]

I don't either. My watching is limited to the DVDs, and for the unreleased seasons, the original NBC airings that I have on my computer.

[CarJackSnyder]

I watch it all the time on tbs, the wb, and all of my dvds!! I can't a month for season 9 either!! :D

[Superstar]

I dont watch it on TV much, I usually watch them on DVD. If anybody has a multi region DVD player, you should buy the DVDs from amazon.co.uk . They have all 10 seasons on DVD
