I'll record it. The Final Five in Survivor All-Stars holds more importance to me that night however.

Yeah, I'll watch it. I won't be absoluted riveted to the screen the way NBC claims the entire civilized world will be, but I've watched the show for the most part, and I'm interested in seeing how the Ross-Rachel thing ends I guess.

Is this the first episode where the title doesn't start with "The One..." ?

They don't compete.

During Survivor, NBC is having an hour of Friends retrospective clips.

The real final episode starts when Survivor ends at 9:00 (8:00 Central).

I know, but I will probably be watching my recording of Survivor while Friends is being aired.

If the quality of CSI was up to the level of the previous 3 seasons, I'd probably watch this before my recording of Friends as well.

I haven't seen a single complete episode (the few times I tried I turned it off). I see no reason to start now.

Yeah - with the amount of money they are getting for commercial time, you know that this will have about 35 minutes of content. 38 minutes tops.

I've watched since the beginning, so I might as well watch the end.

I have a prior engagement that I won't be able to get out of but a friend is Tivo-ing it so we're good. I'll probably "get it" from somewhere else as well.

Considering it comes out on DVD 6 days from now, that might not be necessary.

Richard (Tom Selleck), Emily (Helen Baxendale, the women that Ross was going to marry until he said "Rachel" insteal of "Emily" at their wedding), and Carol & Susan (Jane Sibbet and Jessica Hecht, who haven't been on the show since season 6 or 7) all return for the final episode, along with Monica and Ross's parents (Christina Pickles & Elliott Gould) and Gunther (James Michael Tyler).

I hope they do something interesting with Gunther. Always liked that character.

I don't know why they feel they have to drag Richard and Emily back into the show. I hope its not forced and stupid.

It will be good to see Carol and Susan again.

I've seen almost all of the episodes repeatedly, so I don't see why I would miss this one. Hopefully I don't have too much going on tomorrow night.

I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I can't wait for this show to be over, I never want to hear anything about it again. I'm tired of every other show talking about it. I have to watch countless specials on entertainment tonight and extra etc. talking about "oh we're so sad friends is ending". At least it'll possibly be good news for us at ABC stations, maybe we'll have a chance on Thursdays again. This Thursday, I think we'll be airing NBA playoffs, so the audiences should be different.
