episodes this season. They really should've call it quit while they were on top. (i.e. Seinfeld)

This was an odd year for Friends- It started about as bad as it ever has been, but has come on strong in the end (IMO). If they can use this to set up a nice final season of stories, then I'm all for season 10.

Just watched the tape of the finale... but i think my VCR messed up and recorded last year's finale. Didn't we leave off last year with some Rachel/Joey drama. And baby Drama... Its depressing. Makes me gald i missed all the other episodes this year.

This show should have ended in Vegas.

Pretty good finale. You could see everything coming a mile away of course, but I thought they handled the paring offs pretty well. There were some good one-liners as well. I really wish they'd just end the series with this episode, though.

I thought it was one of the better episodes of the season.
The table tennis match was funny and I like Joey/Rachel better than Ross/Rachel though I don't think it will last.

The hair jokes about Monica were hilarious, and Chandler was really funny too.
Good finale all around.

I thought the show was pretty good - particularly Joey. At least they finally hooked him and Rachel up - it's about time that they got it over w/.
Courtney Cox (Monica) is starting to wear on my nerves more and more as the series goes on. The hair jokes were funny last night at the beginning but they just kept going and going...
Phoebe has looked great lately. From the black dress a couple of weeks ago to the red dress last night. Damn, she has never looked better than she has lately.

I thought this was one of the funniest of the year. Ross & Phoebe finally hooked up with the right people. But I didn't like Joey & Rachel. It just seemed forced. For a lack of someone else for her to kiss. Thumbs down on that plotline.

OK, so Ross is giving a lecture, but he's standing RIGHT IN FRONT of the screen?! What the hell is wrong with these people?
Rant over...
Pretty good episode IMO. The hair jokes were funny at the start, but I grew weary of them at the end. Chandler was in good form, and as for Rachel/Joey, they just seem comfortable together. I wish Ross would get dumped though; I like it when he's down.

For two people who supposedly were really good at Ping Pong, they sure sucked! They were lobbing that ball over every single time!
Chandler was the only one who really looked like he knew how to play.

Matt and Jennifer have soooooooo much better chemistry together than David and Jennifer. Let's hope the writers don't pull another fast one on us and break Joey and Rachel up again. The reason the season before last was so good (and this one was so lame) was because of the Joey/Rachel thing!
Is it me or is Lisa Kudrow not aging well? My god, she looks like she's in her 40's already...and keep in mind, that's on the show, where they try to make the performers look their best!
