when I heard a buddy of mine sent me the 'crazy rumor of the day' from Gawker about an NBC show coming back for one final season, I desperately hoped it would be a new season of Seinfeld. For anybody who has any taste whatsoever, Seinfeld is one of the five best TV shows of all time bar-none and the only way to get my Seinfeld-fix today is with reruns on WPIX or through the incredibly clever @SeinfeldToday twitter handle.
but sadly, my hopes for a killer reunion of Elaine, Jerry, Kramer, George, Mr. Peterman, Newman, Uncle Leo, Frank and Estelle were squashed when the big Thursday Night hit the heads of Comcast decided to bring back was the incredibly lame Friends. Never has a show been less interesting than the 22 minutes per week of these six dweebs living in a way too large an apartment on way too little money and drinking way too many skim milk latte's. There is nothing that describes the pussyfication of our fine country better than this show about nothing important.. Six yuppy white people with a much humor between them as ordering a chocolate banana sundae and getting a vanilla cone instead.
sadly, there will some people
who will be super excited about this and will hardly be able to keep from snorting when Ross first trips and lands ass first on tip of a brontosaurus tail and Monica finds Chandler with his dingy stuck in her new Dyson.

Luckily, the rumor is total bullshit:

If you were happy to finally see some good news today, and saw the headline “NBC confirms ‘Friends’ new comeback season reunion!” — we hate to break it to you, but it’s probably not true.
According to Star Media, a website nobody has ever heard of, NBC is planning to revive friends for an 11th season next year.
“The rumor of a new season for Friends has been surrounding the web for months, but this time is more than a rumor!” Star Media reports, without citing any sources. “NBC network has confirmed they will launch a new season of Friends on 2014, it will be about their story in a comeback reunion!”
The story then nonsensically claims, “It’s still unknown if the original actors will accept NBC’s deal, but the dream of ‘Friends’ reunion is closer than ever!”
So, NBC confirmed that it is bringing back “Friends,” but the “Friends” actors haven’t signed onto the deal?
Considering the fact that all six of the main characters made $1 million per episode during the series’ final season in 2004 and NBC as a network is floundering as it is, this is highly unlikely.
So far, NBC has not outright denied that report.
But “Friends” stars Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry and Matt LeBlanc all currently star on their own TV series, while Jennifer Aniston has a semi-lucrative film career and Smart Water commercial campaign. They are all so wealthy that they do not need to do another season, no matter how much we may want them to.
This story is like cruel Twitter death hoax, only the opposite.
