Default Should \"Friends\" Repeats be Removed?

Even though Friends became a huge US Comedy craze between 1994 and 2004, I do think that Friends has had its day. I still find the episodes funny, watching the constant repeats on Channel 4 and E4, but now Friends just seems to be losing its great touch that it wants had.
It needs to go! And now! It is wasting E4's listings all the time, when something NEW but not better can be shown in its place at 5.00pm and 8.00pm. But do you think the repeats should be removed permentately, or at least temporarily?

I don't think they should be removed, people still love Friends (me included) and the episodes are such that they're still funny. Besides, with there being 10 seasons a lot of Friends viewers perhaps haven't seen them ALL, and want to. Additionally you can laugh at episodes you perhaps loved previously etc. Maybe if others like yourself are getting sick of them, I can suggest there being just the one time on E4 - as in 8pm every night instead of both 5pm and 8pm. But no way IMO should the repeats be removed completely permanently, or even temporarily for that matter.

I've watched every single friends episode and i still watch them! I never tire. I still find them funny. I would rather watch a rerun of the show than the likes of nikki's own show

No way. I have all DVDs except 2 +3, but yet I still love watching them at 5pm/6pm
Its a great thing to watch at teatime and all of us still talk about them at school.

Theres people who apsolutely love this show and i hear them asking each other " did you watch it last night" which is crazy considering they are repeats and theyve seen them before, i said no because theres a lot of fans who are still dedicated to it

Yes definitely. Channel 4 reached a thousand repeats of Friends while the show was still on the air. Yet, great comedies like Everybody love Raymond, and Curb your enthusiam never get a decent time slot. To all those people who still watch - There are other show you know?

And Seinfeld and Frasier were better shows.

I think if people still watch then keep them on. I don't watch them personally but have seen some episodes and think they are great.

Yeah please, i find it funny when i watch the odd episode but it's on constantly and for a show that ended nearly 3 years ago, it should definatly be stopped.

I like watching repeats of the early series. When it was at its best.

Get rid. Put some thing else on. I thought Channel 4's programming was supposed to be cutting edge, leftfield and all that.

Stuff like Fraiser isn't repeated very often (sometimes at 8.00am which I am already at school). So why is Friends the only exception?

I think it's great, so what if they are repeats.. the comedy value is at the very top.

I own every episode, have watched them maybe 30 times over and yet it can still make me smile which is why they are always going to be repeated untill the show has been beaten.
