    Two Questions:

    1/ Are Network 2 showing the new series or not, cause every second week, it seems they have an old one.

    2/ What date is the last EVER episode being aired on Network2?

    Answer 1: The new series resumes this Monday 26th.

    Answer 2: Dunno

    I'm guessing Net 2 will finish out over the next few weeks. That means that the last 2 episodes will show on May 24th.

    The final run of new episodes begins tomorrow, Monday April 26th @ 9pm.

    There are 6 episodes left-- 4 regular episodes + the 2-part finale. Net2 usually show the Friends finales in full, rather than split them, so there should be 5 weeks left of the show on Net2.
    E4 are now showing the same episode inside the same week. You can catch the final run Mondays @ 9pm on Net2, or Thursdays E4.

    Last nights episode was pretty funny. Joey's attempts at French were great, even though RTE spoiled it by showing it all on the ads.

    ? I thought it was an awful episode, and further reinforced my fears that "Joey" is going to be a dreadfully unfunny show. The most amusement I got was actually from last night's episode of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit". There were a couple in that, infertile also (vaaagggueelly similiar in physique) that were adopting a baby from a mother who hadn't got a recognised father for the baby. However, they ended up killing both mother and baby. It'd make for an amusingly dark end if "Friends" were to adapt it.

    cause every second week, it seems they have an old one.

    I think that there was a break in the middle of the series in the states. THey are only a few episodes ahead. That would be why RTE were showing old Friends, they cannot show new episodes before the states.

    I think that ER was off for a few weeks for the same reason.

    Wasn't a great episode, but the ads really did ruin what few gags there were.:mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,164 ✭✭✭Space Coyote


    If there's anything to be learnt from that episode it's that 'Joey' is going to be very unfunny, overloaded with ultra-idiotic comments by himself. I hope the man proves me wrong. And also, if a hot woman begs you for sex, don't think, just do. ;)

    Maybe it's me, I'm a bit stressed lately so my sense of humour is a bit unhinged. Still thought it was a funny episode!!! :dunno: :dunno:

    There is 5 weeks left of Scrubs too so I assume that they might end the two on the same night then, in 5 weeks and then start over with the repeats.

    has anyone else spent the last 4 or so seasons wishing a double decker bus would suddenly just appear in New York for the specific prupose of running Ross down and reversing over him a few times? Can only hope that David Schwimmer never gets another job in television, unless it's behind the camera.

    ...and by that I hope you mean making the tea.

    The new series has been awful, I just stopped watching them now. I can't be bothered sitting through the awful attempts at jokes they make now. One funny moment per episode does not a funny show make.

    And, if this was even possible, Monica's character has just become even more annoying the last 2 seasons.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,199 ✭✭✭krattapopov


    i think ross it the only remotely funny character left in that show


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,169 ✭✭✭dangerman


    ross is great, very funny.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,164 ✭✭✭Space Coyote


    They all have their moments, except Phoebe. Joey seems to be regressing to an earlier form of primate. Did his brain collapse in an episode of Days of our Lives ? Must have.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 73 ✭✭monkeymagic


    Ross was never funny and outlived his use once he said Rachel at the altar, from that point on he was no longer needed.

    I have watched and loved Friends from the very beginning, but it pains me to say that this season has been dreadful with precious few funny moments. The cast look jaded and bored and you can tell that there heart isn't in it anymore. I will watch it through to the end out of sheer loyalty but the sooner it does end the better.:o
