"This is so pathetically cheesy," I think to myself. It's the cast of Friends' first "farewell interview" and Oprah's making them take turns saying nice things about each other. "Okay David Schwimmer, now it's your turn to say something about each castmate," Oprah says with her trademark "flop the hair a bit but make it look assertive" nod. "So sappy!" I say out loud. Everyone's saying the same things: Jennifer's got a big heart, Courtney's generous, Matthew's a joker, blah blah blah. "I can't believe how stupid this is!" But yet as each cast member finishes his/her tribute, I find myself compulsively clapping along with the audience, cheering madly for the cast. I can't help it. It's so incredibly campy (like literally, remember at camp when you had to say nice things about each other around the fire?) but yet so sweet. A fitting testament to their friendships on, and off screen. "This is so sweet!" I catch myself thinking, "Great sharing guys! Bravo!"

It'll be sad when this final season's over. It's hard to replace Friends like these.
