F.R.I.E.N.D.S.. boy, do we love them like crazy!

Oh my goodness!!! It is so hard to believe that the F.R.I.E.N.D.S sitcom is actually over!!!
One question: Whyyyyyyy????????? 10yrs of entertaining, riotous, incredible, sidesplitting, remarkable and poignant episodes make us mull over questions like : "Are there friends like those in the sitcom, in the world?", " Will my friends and myself have the exact friendship like them?" so on and so forth. But the unfortunate truth is:(drum-roll please...) Nope...
there can never be another 'gang of friends' like them. Ok, maybe in another time in another planet in another age there 'could' be. You never know, life is wierd. And their coffee shop- Central Perk. Wish there was actually a place like that in the real world!

Ssssssiiiiiiiiiiggghhhhhh!!!!





But seriously, you feel you can totally relate to them and after 10yrs of constant viewing of F.R.I.E.N.D.S, you feel that you're a part of their exclusive group. Funny, isn't it? yeah it sure is. I mean it's like you relate yourself to one these characters or crush on one of them and consider him/her as your "ideal person", you start to visualize your "spouse" to be like one of them. Ha ha! There is not a single character that we don't like or hate... Everyone of them have their style, their attitude, their individuality and their followers.I love Ross and Phoebe. Ross with his boldness and brashness, his reponsibility towards his baby sister, whom he doesn't need to protect at all, his ever-lasting love for Rachael that would never fade no matter whom he marries and how many kids he has. Phoebe being kinky and an airhead is totally adorable and with Joey, makes an awesome couple, sadly they never fall in love. But Mike seems to be an awesome match for her. Her fairy-tale snowy winter wedding makes her the most beautiful Snow White ever, with her ultra cute Prince Charming.(Plus, I remind one of my friends of Phoebe, I wonder how?!)Approximately 99.6% of the world mourned over the closure of the never ending sitcom.I used to dislike F.R.I.E.N.D.S but after watching the 10th season first, I fell completely in love with the sitcom and oooo yeah I was sad that this is it... this is the end... no more F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Talk about heart break. I'm sure when the sitcom ended, most F.R.I.E.N.D.S fanatics felt an enormous part of them die inside, felt a feeling of incompletion and emptiness overtake them. And I'm sure the feeling will constantly arise when thinking of F.R.I.E.N.D.S or when the word "F.R.I.E.N.D.S" is mentioned or when watching reruns...Yeah, I'm sure most of the F.R.I.E.N.D.S "worshippers" would intently watch reruns and memorize every single word of every character.... Talk about fanaticism. i don't think any other sitcoms has ever had this kind of response,ever.Sadly, there are people who actualy HATE F.R.I.E.N.D.S. I know, I know, it is pretty difficult to digest this information, but they are entitled to their own individualistic opinions. But those of you, who haven't watched F.R.I.E.N.D.S, are seriously missing out on something great. Maybe one day, when we are old and gray, F.R.I.E.N.D.S might become "the all American sitcom" or part of the American culture. Who knows? Maybe we will get over the obsession, maybe we won't. Weirder things have happened.Hmmmm... so which character do you like/love/dream about or relate yourself to and why?
