Any Friends fans out there? Or course there are! Joey, Rachel, Ross, Chandler, Monica, and Phoebe almost seem like real friends in our very disconnected world. In a world that needs a good laugh, this is the place to go. These are the favorites in our house:
1- The One With The Embryos- (Season 4, episode 12)- Monica's "That's not even a word!" shows how Courteney Cox can channel Lucille Ball effortlessly, but Phoebe's brother Frank, played by Giovanni Ribisi, closes the episode with a killer line that you'd never expect to hear!
2- The One Where Ross And Rachel... You Know- (Season 2, episode 15)- Yes, we do, and wow. All three pairings in the storyline show off incredible chemistry. Goofy Phoebe has some street cred processing it all, making Lisa Kudrow's character deeper than thought possible.
3- The One With The Routine- (Season 6, episode 10)- Doing Dick Clark proud? Nerdy Ross and Monica at their best. How does David Schwimmer do it without cracking up?
4- The One That Could Have Been, Part 1- (Season 6, episode 15)- Fat Monica is the worth the whole episode! The sweetness and innocence of the fantasy story is an insightful look at each characters depth and background.
5- The One Where No One's Ready- (Season 3, episode 2)- Drinking the fat and going commando was never so funny! This may be the episode that made Jennifer Aniston the "it" girl.
6- The One With The Morning After- (Season 3, episode 16)- Serious, compelling, and heartbreaking. This was the one that really showed what the cast and writers could do. A morality lesson with real bite.
7- The One With The Baby On The Bus- (Season 2, episode 6)- Slapstick and schtick. Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry steal the show in this mini-buddy flick.
8- The One Where Joey Moves Out- (Season 2, episode 16)- The balance of tensions between Joey and Chandler with the new love affair between Monica and Richard (her one real true love). What an episode!
9- The One With The Boobies- (Season 1, episode 15)- Brenda Vaccaro is brilliant and charming; Fisher Stephens maybe the most obnoxious character ever to appear on the series with the exception of Bruce Willis' Paul Stevens.
10- The One With The Reunion- Will we ever see it? It's been teased and teased, promised, and pulled back. This may be the year. Can you say "FINALLY!" while crossing your fingers?
Which episodes are your favorites?
wow, i came to ur blog to read some posts about the carpenters, but i'm so glad to see some friends-related posts too, since i'm a huge fan of friends too! my fav episodes are "the one with the blackout"- not only because it was fun and phoebe sang an iconic song there, monica, joey and phoebe sang 'top of the world' together in that episode which was great! and "the one with the proposal" (idk if the name is correct lol)- it is the episode where chandler proposes to monica, and it's my fav because it was so so sweet and i cried a lot watching it :') i also like "the one with phoebe's wedding" bc phoebe is my favourite character and i really want my wedding to be like that too! *oh and btw, it's jennifer aNiston, not jennifer aNNiston! people make that mistake a lot and since i'm her fan, i correct ppl whenever they do that haha
ReplyDeleteoh and finally, we did get to see the reunion and it was great! it's so disappointing to know that HBO edited some parts out- originally it was 3 hours long but we only got 1 and a half hour! :(
ReplyDeleteGlad you're enjoying the blog! (And thanks for the correction on the spelling.)
ReplyDeleteHow could I forget about the episode with the blackout and Top of the World! :(
Thanks for reading!
