OT: "Friends" TV show: What's with all the repeats?!!!!!!!!????

[sbjf]

I just saw the coming attraction for this Thursday's 'Friends' and it's ANOTHER REPEAT! I think that makes 3 or 4 in a ROW! Am I the only one annoyed by this?

I feel ripped. How could they do this and call it a full season? Does anyone know what the plan is? How much longer do we have to deal with continuous repeats under the guise of 'all time favorites'?

Yes, all of March will be reruns - a total bummer since this is their last season. I guess they're airing the "viewers' choice" shows this month. I'm also annoyed!!

I'm pretty sure this was one of the conditions of the whole cast coming back this season - that it be a much shorter season.
I miss my Friends, too!!!

They made a deal to do only 18 episodes instead of the usual 23 or 24. Typically March is filled with repeats on all of the networks because they have just come off of sweeps and it is when the NCAA March Madness tournament is in full swing.

I remember this last year, I haven't tuned in the past few weeks because our NY paper printed this schedule-
March 4-April 8 - NBC will air viewers 6 favorite episodes
May 6th- A 1 hour retrospective at 9
An hour long finale 9-10 (Eastern)

They are airing 6 repeats in a row and billing it as viewers choice. Sure I love the Brad Pitt one, but come on I want to see something new. I think there are only 3 new ones left. How in the world that can be stretched until May 6th is beyond me.
