finale..
i watched the series finale of everybody loves raymond last nite and i thought to myself, "didnt i just watch the series finale to friends?"
i hate it when that happens--when you feel like a year has flown by. actually, its not that time has passed so quickly that gets me so much as that ive in fact done nothin/accomplished squat/gone nowhere in that amount of time. seriously, the only difference in watchin the finale to friends and raymond is which tv in the house i was sitting in front of..
i a m s o l a m e . .
but its kinda weird that last nite at 9pm i HAD TO watch the series finale. cuz i wasnt really all into raymond. in fact, i believe i only began watchin it in syndication this past year (watchin the same episode of law & order was doin it for me anymores). so at best, i was a casual watcher. but i told myself early last week that i HAD TO watch the finale..
and it was that way w/ a lotta shows i didnt really follow. like friends: barring the last season, i wasnt watching every episode until i knew the end was near. dawsons creek: i think i only saw one full episode of that show and that was in england when i had had enough of bbc..
even further back, i remember taping the finales to cheers, quantum leap (which was a great episode), and star trek. hell, i even thoroughly enjoyed vh1s show on series finales..
i guess i just enjoy experiencing the moment when something thats been great--or very, very good--for a long time finds its way to the end cuz usually that end, while rarely satisfying, is elegant, wistful, and makes you/me yearn for more..
yeah, i just have this strange penchant for watching series finales..
