Well d'uh!

I didn't watch the episode and don't know the're names! I just saw an advert! I don't really like Friends!

[Reply #43 on:]

Then why did you made this thread?

[Reply #44 on:]

Friends- I still like it, but it went way downhill after season 4.

You just soiled a perfectly good show by crossing it over with friends.

[Reply #46 on:]

I want to get this thread alive again so that we can or about the new season of friends which starts on Thursday on E4 and on Channel 4.

I Shamefully watch It still supposedly one series left, I just want everything to be resolved and then never be botherd by it again.

[Reply #50 on:]

I can't wait for the new series to start this week; I have loved Friends ever since it started on C4 

It will be interesting to see how it ends. Recently I read that about a year after this series ends, the cast will be re-united for a 90 minute special 

[Reply #51 on:]

There will be Joey's spinoff show, which I think might be worth checking out.  I still stand by what I said earlier in the thread, it's past it's prime, but I'm sticking with it until the end, and I'm a completist, so I have all the current nine seasons on DVD.

Well I watch this TV interview the other day with Jennifer Aniston and she said that it’s not true that they going to make 90 special after the whole series.

Yeah that would be interesting to watch when it comes out.

Yeah I know. They show the repeat episodes of friends nearly everyday on E4. It is annoying.

The repeats are really annoying. They show them every day on Channel 4 at 7.30am ...

I think the spin-off series will be called "Where's everybody Else?"

Even though sitcoms are the lowest form of entertainment (almost a quote from the great one), I actually have some good laughs from Friends. Especially Chandler, because sarcasm and irony is my game. Some sitcoms are quite alright.  ut then again, some are pure bile (*CoughVeronica's ClosetCough*).
So have any of you seen the rip-off show Fnierds, where Göbbels, Futlam, Gnokster and Kneply meet up at the local café to discuss the things that really matter? Of course, the things that really matter are schizophrenia, restraining orders, rabies, meteor impacts, heart infarct, bedlams, fatwas and leaf gelatine. It's really a good show. You can actually gewgle for it- try it if you know your Danish.

The Atkins Diet hit Courteney Cox baaad.  She looks terrible now.  Ross and Joey can occasionally be funny.  The Chandler and Monica scenes suck the big one.

[Reply #59 on:]

Yeah, most of the ones where they get all "you and I forever" on us. That is just a little too all-American for my taste.
What is the Atkins Diet? (Is it a diet? ...ooohh) The flaw is that you can now see the chestbone. But it's still a sweet smile she has.

[Reply #60 on:]

The Atkins Diet is a trendy(ish), controversial diet in which amongst other things you cut all carbs out of your diet.  Many scientists claim it is bad for your health.

Anybody thinks that she looks like Margot Kidder now?

I thought it was going to be called "Joey", a la "Frasier".

[Reply #63 on:]

Yeah it is. Where's Everybody Else was a jokey title that Matt Le Blanc said.

[Reply #64 on:]

Speaking of how the cast look, Lisa Kudrow is really starting to look old around her eyes.

[Reply #65 on:]

That's because Lisa Kudrow is the eldest of the bunch and was in her 30's when Friends started.

[Reply #66 on:]

I thought Courteney Cox was too.

[Reply #67 on:]

Perhaps that explains the "embalmed corpse" look now.

Here is my review on today’s episode of Friends:

Show spoiler

It kind of fun when Monica, Phoebe and Chandler knew what’s going on by hearing Ross and Charlie on one side of the room and Joey and Rachel on the other side of then room. Then comes a disturbing moment when Joey and Rachel having visions of Ross especially when we see Joey kissing Ross.

Monica braids would be better without the shells on the end.

Edit: Oh I'm sorry about the spoiling

[Reply #69 on:]

Spoilers please, I haven't seen it yet.  I've got it on tape to watch.

[Reply #70 on:]

Dammit!! Did Mrs. Cox Arq. go old-school Bo Derek? I can imagine it looks a tad weird (maybe even rediculous)

[Reply #71 on:]

I haven't seen Friends since Grade 7 so I decided to watch it a few weeks ago, and (I never thought I'd say this about a TV show) I was morally offended.      The episode was about

Show spoiler

Monica and Chandler being mistaken for a doctor and a priest by Anna Farris, whose baby Monica and Chandler want to adopt.  And then, in the end, the truth comes out, and Chandler makes a big heartfelt speach about how they're really good people, and how Monica especially would make a great mother (it was Monica's idea to not tell Anna the truth in the first place), and Anna decided to let them adopt her baby anyway.  WTF?  If someone lied to me in order to adopt my child, ESPECIALLY about being a priest, they're automatically out of the running.

  Stupid show, good riddance.     

EDIT: Spoilerized, just in case someone hasn't seen it yet and wants to.

[Reply #72 on:]

Whoah! With the finger and all... But truly, that's what I dislike about it as well. They never really take the fall. And the sugarcoated stuff is just freaky-gross. ALL sugarcoated stuff is disgusting.

[Reply #73 on:]

I watched the new series of Friends about 2 and a half hours and its really starting to get boring - all the humour is pretty much the same and compared to other American comedys like Scrubs it really isn't all that good (Ok, so it's slightly better than Will and Grace...).

[Reply #74 on:]

This new episode was awful, possibly worst episode I have seen. Well maybe not but definitely way down there. Only one or two moments that made me smile.  Nothing that even nearly made me laugh out loud and multiple times when I groaned/cringed.

You said it, that whole Monica storyline was cringe-worthy.

watched the first ep of the 10th and last season tonight and was very impressed. it's been a long while since i last laughed at friends but tonights ep seemed fresher and sharper.

since they don't have to worry about being re-commisioned i think they are going to be edgier and sharper this season. in the past you can see where they've played safe just for the sake of an easy life, even though there was never anything to be concerned about. as is the way with US network shows. so this last season i'm expecting sharper gags and going by last nights show sharper performances, too.

[Reply #77 on:]

I hated friends, never watched it. And I am glad that it is finally going off the air. I felt the show was overrated, not funny and stuck to the same premise, and lacked originality. (in my opinion) My ma use to watch it, but she stopped because it started to get stupid. I always stuck to ABC anyway. Better programs

[Reply #78 on:]

Do you know what's sad? Once Friends goes off the air, the traditional network sitcom will be dead. Think about it, what will replace Friends as "the" sitcom everyone obssesses over?

I'm sure that NBC is asking the same question...
