When did you quit watching?

I quit around the time Phoebe agreed to carry her brother's baby.

Also - can't believe the show is over 20 years old now!

Just to be clear, you're asking a Friends message board when the users of said message board quit watching the show? That ended 12 years ago and are still discussing.

Would you prefer "when did it jump the shark"?

[–] pbfan103 8 years ago

it's never Joan Van Ark- Marge Simpsons

The point is: you are asking people who are fans of the show when they quit watching. So of course most people watched to the end and multiple times or they wouldn't post on this board.

Never. But I did start to lose interest in season 7. I remember not getting as excited for new episodes and I wasn't bothered if I missed an episode the night it aired, and would have to catch up on it later. Season 7 still remains my least liked season.

I kept watching till the very end, but I think it started to decline significantly after season 5.

I watched till the very end, but once Monica and Chandler married it wasn't as fun anymore and it was too soap-opera-y too often

then you missed some of the best comedic moments.

Me too, I'm still not bored of it!

And that's why..... you always leave a note.

Ok, I'm not sure why the emoji turned into a question mark.

season 6 was the last one i watched all the way through. subsequent seasons i watched only spasmodically. i find this is prety much standard for me, i think virtually all sitcoms are past their best after season 6 - they start to run out of ideas and the storylines get more and more absurd.

Never. Still watch it to this day. I'm watching it on Netflix right now lol. The one with the Candy Hearts.

Just this past year... and not due to disliking it.

I actually did quit watching during its original run around season 5, I think I just got busy with school at the time but I ended up reviving my love for friends many years later through re-runs and ended up buying box sets etc etc.
