14. Nope.
Not a liar.

Spanish Pipedream (AKA Blow Up Your TV)

She was a level-headed dancer on the road to alcohol
And I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal
Well she pressed her chest against me
About the time the juke box broke
Yeah, she gave me a peck on the back of the neck
And these are the words she spoke

Chorus:
Blow up your T.V. throw away your paper
Go to the country, build you a home
Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches
Try an find Jesus on your own

Well, I sat there at the table and I acted real naive
For I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve
Well, she danced around the bar room and she did the hoochy-coo
Yeah she sang her song all night long, tellin' me what to do

Repeat chorus:

Well, I was young and hungry and about to leave that place
When just as I was leavin', well she looked me in the face
I said ";You must know the answer.";
";She said, ";No but I'll give it a try.";
And to this very day we've been livin' our way
And here is the reason why

We blew up our T.V. threw away our paper
Went to the country, built us a home
Had a lot of children, fed 'em on peaches
They all found Jesus on their own

7. Never seen it.
I've seen bits and pieces when I've been places, but I've never sat down and watched an entire episode. From what I have seen, it is too stupid to waste my time on.

11. No, you're not missing anything.
The first season was good, but it was all downhill after that.

12. Never seen it, don't want to

Thankfully, I can find more constructive ways to spend my leisure time than watching TV!

21. NEVER have I watched a whole show ...
I could watch Seinfeld for hours on end ...

Married with Children ? ... sure: ... funny in the beginning, then gracefully retiring before things got too stale .. (maybe too late ) ... I can watch That 70's Show for a few hours, iffin Im really bored ....

But I simply CANNOT sit through a single Friends episode ...

Not a one ....

24. I did not know what "Friends" was until last Nov
Then, I took a long train trip to New Orleans and they were showing segments in the sleeper. I thought it was funny, especially the episodes about academic stuff (very few of those, but funny).

I've stopped on the show if I'm surfing past, but can't stand to watch it for more than a few minutes.

You are not alone.

35. No, I have never
watched a whole episode either. I have seen bits and pieces and when it first came on I tried to watch it but couldn't make it passed about 10 minutes. I just don't see the attraction myself. :shrug:

42. I've never watched an entire episode
I tried to watch one once, to see what all the hoopla was.

It was sooooo painful, I didn't last the entire episode.

45. The only time I've watched it was when I was waiting for something else
to start.

If there was a group called "People Who Have Watched Friends, but have never laughed," well, that's the one I belong in.

Seinfeld too.

46. Oh, my god...am I the only Friends Fanatic here?!
That's weird. Anyway, I'm a Friends freak, and when I just think about this being the last season I cry. I'm weird, I know...but you watch a show for 10 years, and these people are kinda your friends. It's weird, again, I know...but what am I going to do with my Thursday nights when they're gone? It's starting to get cold and dark...Oh wait...it's raining outside...false alarm...hehe
