PMC After Dark

I only watched Friends when I was channel-surfing and there was nothing on, so I remember basically nothing about it.

Let's see if I have the basics right. There's an ancient prophecy that seven friends will join together and destroy a great evil. In the first episode six Friends gather and they go on a quest to find the seventh, but they keep getting distracted by dating and job stuff and wacky antics.

In the second season, the evil overlord emerges and everyone goes "oh, right, we were supposed to thwart that, wait shoot there's only six of us" and then the same general things happen except every episode has a bunch of swordfights with imperial henchmen and possibly an airship battle.

At the end of the second season, it turns out that the overlord is the seventh Friend led astray and there's an even greater evil they all have to fight against. The third season adds an ongoing subplot where the seventh Friend keeps trying to get a job, but because they only know how to be an evil overlord, they keep making hilarious mistakes like stabbing customers who complain that their coffee is too sweet.

The third season concludes with the arrival of the greater evil and the SHOCKING DEATH of the seventh Friend. Then the fourth season is a lot like the second except the writers never figured out how the true greater evil would be defeated without all seven Friends so they just conclude the show with "and the battle still rages on to this day".
