Thoughts on FRIENDS (up through season 4 episode 7.5)
1) I would normally wait until I made it through a complete season to comment my ramblings, but Ross’s keyboarding skills made my brain go blank. This appears significant.
2) Chandler is being a good bro by not going for Joey’s girlfriend and for getting her the Velveteen Rabbit book for her birthday.
3) I love that both Joey and Phoebe picture Chandler over and over to stop their attractions to people. Poor Chandler.
4) Chandler handcuffed to a chair. It would’ve been funnier if Rachel just left the door open and invited people up. Ha!
5) Monica’s mother is getting on my nerves. The extra lasagna in the freezer when Monica catered for her is my last stray. Not okay, mother of Monica.
6) Monica has her hair pretty short now but they didn’t work it into the show. Sad day.
7) I love that Phoebe’s mom came back as a cat. Something my mom would do.
8) I kind of want the Phoebe-mom-cat for my own.
9) Would Phoebe’s mom ever have chosen a tortoise to possess?
10) Ross is still blah.
11) Ross and Rachel at each other’s necks for dating other people bugs me. I don’t like you together so you’re not allowed together.
12) Why is Ross wearing leather jackets now?
13) Ross’s date that people thought was so gorge had the messiest apartment. I’m surprised he didn’t just turn right around and get an ice cream.
14) Will Joey get called on for another soap opera?
15) I FEEL like the show is pairing people like this: Rachel-Ross; Monica-Chandler; Phoebe-Joey; Gunther-broken dishes. But it’s too expected and I don’t like it.
16) I feel like it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a show address smoking. People still smoke, my dear 2017. It’s still an issue, my dear 2017.
17) Phoebe’s family tree must be on fire by now.
18) If Phoebe’s family tree is on fire and her mom’s a cat and her ex is a sensitive fireman, where do milk duds come from?
19) I don’t know the music taste of any of these characters really. Phoebe’s into…memoir acoustic…and everyone likes Hootie and the Blowfish. I need to know more substantial things.
20) I want Joey’s mom to come back on. All of Joey’s sisters were great.
21) Isn’t it terrible how Chandler is chill with Joey messing around on every girl until it’s a girl Chandler actual values as a human? Again, none of these people are actually datable.
22) I noticed that there appears to be a balance of represented “pretty people” guest stars from the male and female camps on this show — something this show does well.
23) I love all the surprise guest stars. Robbin Williams esp.
24) This was forever ago, but I love that Joey valued his friendship with Phoebe over his desire for Ursula.
25) Love that the women beat the men in football.
26) How in the world are there so many puns I haven’t heard? Until now.
27) At this point, the duck and chick are roommates for Chandler and Joey.
28) If this show came out today, I’m wondering if Chandler and Joey would wind up together. They actually have a deeper intimacy and honesty than Rachel and Monica (which the show always has Joey thinking they experiment) to me.
29) I miss Carol and Susan. Especially Susan because she feels the way I feel about Ross.
30) How many exotic animals will appear on this show?
