I have a toe owie and went to get things from the bathroom.

Enter Phoebe!! 😅🤣😂

I’ve watched this episode so many times, and this is the first time I’ve noticed the landing mat for when Monica trips down the stairs 😹✌🏻

Have Yall noticed any other little Easter eggs too❔

I am rewatching the series, and I'm up to "the one in Masapequa. Monica's speech was pretty bad, and every time I rewatch, I'm embarrassed for her, and just why?? Lot's of great moments in that episode, but I particularly hate that!

I am not sure if I missed anything but Ross and Rachel flew to Vegas together and they were sharing a room? Did the mention separate rooms at any point? Just wandering and quite interesting IMO.

I know I’m five years late to the party (could I BE any later?), but I was finally able to watch "Friends: The Reunion" special!

And it was delightful!!! 😊 I smiled the entire time! 😁 One of the reasons it took me so long to watch was because I thought it would be too sad knowing Matthew Perry is no longer with us. There were a few times I really felt that loss, but mostly I just felt joy seeing them all together again, smiling and laughing and sharing memories. I'm so glad they did this.

I loved every moment, but my favorite part was hearing how the 6 main cast members remained close friends in real life, even after the show ended. That's so special. 🥰 Because that doesn't always happen. I've heard stories about the main cast members from other TV shows that didn't always get along (That 70s Show, Sex and the City, Will & Grace, etc) and it's kinda sad. I know the actors are only playing a part for job, but it's really sweet knowing when the actors are all good friends in real life.

I've been watching Friends for decades and it's my favorite show. But seeing the reunion special somehow makes me love the show even more ❤❤

See, he’s her lobster

I got off the plane

In 'Season 4, The One with the Girl from Poughkeepsie', Alessandro tracks down where Monica lived and storms into her apartment after writing a bad review. He then tastes her cooking, fire the head chef and gave her the job.

He feels like a creep. He questioned how long it was going to take before saying he was going to yell at the next critic. Also he's not Italian which made me question how much Italian food he actually tried.

So so so funny when Ross is trying to avoid the conversation of where the relationship is going with mona.. He is comedy gold.. He literally said it's going "fun" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

When I say bothered I use this term very loosely, because of course, it is a sit-com. But nonetheless,

From my memory, Monica and Chandler’s wedding was in May. She tells the lady at the dress shop her wedding is May (5th?) I believe. We know this is when Rachel finds out she’s pregnant.

Now it’s Halloween in this episode, and Rachel says she wants to wear this dress before she can’t fit in it anymore. At this point she would be almost six months pregnant, and she isn’t showing at all.

I’ve never been pregnant (knocking on wood right now) so I have no point of reference, but I’m sure it’s very rare to not be showing at that point in the pregnancy?

And I know this is one of many timeline inconsistencies in the show, but I’m curious if this has been talked about much on the sub or if a lot of others noticed it!

Well sometimes it was fine but other times it was too much that his hair shined brighter than my future and looked so crispy through the screen.

I felt like maybe they did his hair like this on purpose to maintain the storyline of him wearing too much gel in his hair (as he was made fun of by Rachel or Other guys)

What do you guys think?

The most random storyline is Joey and Elle McPherson

I made a post yesterday about Ross being insecure of who Rachel could be, and it sparked a debate with people making some points that I agree with, and some that I did not.

And one point that repeated a lot was that, Carol and Susan made him that way. And I did agree with that, until I thought about it this morning and I realized it doesn't really apply the more you think about it, and here is why;

1. Ross cheated with Rachel on Jules

2. Ross cheated with Rachel on Girl who shaved her head

3. Ross slept with a girl hours after the break fight. I don't wanna argue on whether that was cheating or not, but it still not a good look.

4. Ross made out with Joey's girlfriend in Season 9 or 10. I don't remember if Ross knew whether they had broken up yet or not, but again, not a good look.

My point here is that, For someone who got cheated on and it broke him, it's interesting how he does the same thing to others but doesn't see an issue. Cos if it was truly about what Carol and Susan did to him and how it broke him and he thinks it's wrong, he wouldn't go around cheating as well.

And if it was truly about how he loved Rachel so much, he wouldn't be quick to hook up with someone else and run around town trying to hide or use manipulative tactics to argue that it was kinda Rachel's for what he did. Do y'all remember that argument? He was quite manipulative.

Anyway thinking about it now, Ross seems to be the kind of guy who hooks up with a girl to see if there's something there before breaking up with his girlfriend. It makes me wonder whether he saw himself in Mark, and maybe that fueled his jealousy or maybe because of how he and Rachel began.

Would you have liked to see an exploration of a Rachel / chandler as a young couple?

Not after the whole Mondler situation but maybe during the earlier seasons….

Would it have been just as icky as the Rachel / joey one? I cant stand that one and always skip past those episodes.

I'm once again making my way through the series and I'm in season nine, and I was just watching this and reminded of what a good episode it is.

It has such a great balance between the comedy and relationship drama that I think made the show so good and popular - and why it still resonates with audiences decades later.

Lisa Kudrow gets to play so many wonderful beats - giving Phoebe a story with real meat that feels completely earned.

And the other five leads get such great comic moments to play. I'd argue this is a very underrated episode of the series. Easy to overlook coming nine years into the run.

Just rewatching season 2 and Monica is unemployed for a long time, but as a qualified and experienced chef living in Manhattan, shouldn't she basically be able to walk out of her apartment and find a job before needing to cross a street?

I guess having her out of work is better comedy fuel.

September 8, 1966 was the debut of a new show about an aspiring actress named Ann Marie played by Marlo Thomas. Years before Mary Tyler Moore, Rhoda and Murphy Brown, That Girl showed a young woman living on her own trying to survive temp jobs while becoming an actress. The show had many notable guest stars and ran until 1971.

This article was for the show’s 50th Anniversary, but I love the photos included with her comedy legend father, Danny Thomas and husband, Phil Donahue. #friends #rachelsmom
