I hate to break it to you... but the reason most people watch tv, sitcoms in general, is to escape reality and have a little entertainment. Hell, I know friendships end and people grow apart. It has happened to me, I have bills to pay, a child, blah, blah, blah that's real life. I don't need to see real life on a sitcom. If I want to see that, I'll watch a documentary. The point is we watched these characters go through thick and thin together. Just because they have a husband/boyfriend and children now they suddenly don't have anything in common and can't manage to get together for nearly 20 years? That is ridiculous, utter garbage. The writers failed. They were trying to hard and they missed the boat.

well i DO see your point, but how about this for UN-realistic, do you know of anyone who is worth millions, coming up to you and offering you all your money like bev did for jack?...no. then how about that millionare getting swept off the balcony leaving you EVERYTHING?....no, you dont.hmmmmmmmmmm, how about after 20 years, by fate, the kids of two best friends coming together at THE SAME COLLEGE, and JUST LIKE THEIR PARENTS they were across the hall from eachother..........these are just a couple of the beautifully done UNrealistic moments in the finale.......

well thats not at all true, all will said was that they are rusty, not completely DIFFERENT!!!.....like grace said, because of their new lives, it feels like they closed THAt chapter, in which they were eachothers world, but now because they have brand new lives, it would just be weird to be the same way again, and even to just get together like once a month would still be weird for them.....and i agree, and if all you people who call yourselves "GREAT FANS", really were, then you would understand that things just werent the same anymore, so their RELATIONSHIP couldnt be the same anymore. Though when they met at their kids school, they showed that no matter how much time has passed, they would still have their #0m0-jo!..........................
i read in an article a not so long time ago, that max and dave wrote the plot and theme of the finale close to the end of the third season, so after that they have done 5 INcrEDIBLE seasons, how IS that GARBAGE if they were planning to do this ALL ALONG?.........if they were such crappy writers, then they would have f'ed up ALL of the epsds. with their "GARBAGE" as you say...........BUT,that never happened, they did an AWESOME job, i couldnt be more pleased!!!!........BRAVO DAVE AND MAX..........BRAVO!!!!!
