I loved them for now and for 10 years. When I was lonely, they were my "Friends"...I feel like I know every one of them, as characters and the actors themselves. My crush on Jennifer Aniston (along with my disgust with Brad for their break-up), and my strange marvel at David Schwimmer's athleticism (as in the multi-hour catch sequence with Joey and later Monica), and his impromptu juggling were all outstanding. He was definitely my hero in the show, and of course I berated him for all the errors he committed during his courtship of Rachel. Yes, I am one of those incurable romantics that pledged if Ross wouldn't take her, I would certainly make myself available. But, as awkward as it seemed, I was always rooting for them. Schwimmer also was impressive as Robert Kardashian in "The People v. O. J. Simpson", replete with white hair tufts. He is an exceptional actor. I also loved all of Matt LeBlanc's antics. He had to be a near-genius in his portrayal of the dim-witted Joey, but he was unquestionably my favorite source of humor. I loved his 5 Season show on Showtime, " Episodes", and look forward to more of his playing himself. And Lisa Kudrow was also a favorite for her portrayal of the unencumbered Phoebe with her singing to the accompaniment of Ross's bagpipes. What genius! I am happy there will be a reunion. But since I have lived with them for all 16 years of syndication, I can go on in my limited spare time. Thank you all...You were definitely worth your outrageous salaries.
