No shock and awe over this one. Now if they would do the same to The Four Kings...

I read where it was only supposed to be a five episode show.

No shock at all, especially because I kind of liked it.

Wow. NBC is really doing some house cleaning.
For those who don't believe it got cancelled

Well NBC needs help. The fact that they are bringing back Friends is a sure sign of bad management. (Even if it is just four episodes).

Woah. Friend's is coming back? When? Original cast? WEE!

"I read where it was only supposed to be a five episode show."

There were seven episodes that were filmed. NBC was testing it for a full fledged series.

When is Friends coming back?

Friends is coming back in the form of four One hour episodes. Anniston was holding up the project - but she finally signed last week. There is a thread here somewhere about it.

Excellent.

Even though part of me is like "GAH! FRIENDS is over and done with. Leave it alone." but oh well.

Too bad---my mom really liked this show (I think for the shock value!)

Damn! I wish they would at least show the episodes that are already done.

I have heard nothing about this friends return. I am waiting for a reliable source!

It doesn't really surprise me. Many of NBC's shows aren't doing too hot in the ratings (ex: Joey, The West Wing, Will and Grace and I think they'll most likely finish 4th in the ratings among the big networks.

I'm still kinda mad that they cancelled Law and Order: Trial By Jury

(Going back to L&O: TBJ) Well, a show can't do very well if the lead actor dies. I think that's the main reason it went down. I actually liked it.

Well I don't know when your Access Hollywood column was posted, but another gossip column posted this on Sunday - I guess time will tell. LOL. I think it's an awful idea myself.

Edit : Sorry - I found the date at the top. My bad - Monday - day after the Hollywood.com article.

Friends or no Fiends?

Well, dagnabbit. I really liked DANIEL.

I loved the Book of Daniel. No surprise it was cancelled: it was original and dared to be different. In George Bush's America (you know the idiot president) we can't have that.

I think I watched an episode. I thought it was very good.

(More like Real America than anyone thinks.)

I am not surprised. As soon as my wife & i watch a new show that is any good, it gets cancelled

That's too bad. I was really starting to get into this show. It's very well written and interesting. Oh well.

"As soon as my wife & i ..."

You only like things that fail. Or maybe they fail because of you.
