NBC says they are willing to go on without Friends if a deal is not struck by noon on Sunday. check out hollywoodreporter.com

On Sat, 13 May 2000, Filmkr27 stated this considered view. Waking from my doze, I hastily scrawled -

I think it's all a big bluff by NBC - there's NO WAY they'll dare dump Friends. Besides, I bet another company would just LOVE to pinch the show!

Too bad another company CAN'T. There's a clause in the contracts that says if NBC was ever to dump "Friends," no other networks will ever have the chance to air it. Personally, I think that the contracts have been signed, and they're just trying to make it look dramatic (God, I hope I'm right).

yeah...in my Friends WB newsletter which says which eppys are this week, it says that on thursday night is the SEASON finale. it didnt say SERIES! ~Sara~ "Hey, look at me! I'm Chandler. Could I BE wearing more clothes?" "They don't know that we know they know we know." "Actually, it's Ms. Chinandlor Bong." "My Bing-a-ling!"

They don't know themselves.

In every TV listing magazine (TV Guide, my local paper, etc.) has 6.24 & 6.25 listed as the "season finale."

Every series finale IS a season finale. It just has not been confirmed if THIS season finale is a series finale.

Did I lose anybody?

But their contracts have expired - I thought that was the whole point?
