Mister Pink Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Lately I've seen snippets of rumours circulating that Lisa Kudrow and Matt LeBlanc might be working again on the same show. Just now I've read an article that confirms this and all cast back for a Friends comeback season. Good news for all you “Friends” fans out there… NBC just confirmed it is indeed happening according to Star Media. Not only are they having a reunion but they are reportedly having a full comeback season. The new season of “Friends” is set to launch in 2014 yet it is still unknown whether all of the original actors will be returning to reprise the roles that made them all famous. How great would it be to see Rachel, Monica, Joey, Phoebe, Chandler and Ross all back together again? We hope it happens. http://elitedaily.com/elite/2013/nbc-confi...omeback-season/ I grew up with Friends and do have a soft spot for it. I was 9 in 1994 when it first originally aired. Ross is probably my favourite and there has been some classic jokes that came out of Friends that find themselves in popular culture, just like a classic Simpsons joke that nearly everyone knows.

The Scottish Guy Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I actually quite liked this show. Just like you Floyd, I was also 9 when Friends first debuted back in '94, so I grew up with it too. Sure, it has quite a feminine vibe to it, but unlike most so called sitcoms - see above - Friends was actually funny. Chandler and Joey were my favourites. Loved those guys!

Mister Pink Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Cool, well sorry for the nonsense topic. Wouldn't be my first foray in to bollox topics. This can be closed, please. Thanks The Scottish Guy: Yeah man, I don't know if I'd start watching Friends as an adult but the humour was fine for a kid growing up at least ＲＵＢＢΣＲ░Ｊ♢ＨＮＮＹ （スオッ） Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you're thinking of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Episodes is the show I'm thinking of. It's rumored that at some point in the series the cast will get back together and make a (fictional) reunion special or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Dildo Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 but it's not the best TV show in history. not by a longshot. not even close. it's cheesy. cheap. canned laughter. bad jokes. average characters. Friends is just the definition of bland. it's white-boy comedy made for classic white-boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clem Fandango Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 To be honest the nauseatingly twee feel that the first two seasons had was the height of pretension; total sh*te. The latter seasons though became genuinely funny when it was just a non-depressing Seinfeld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kippers Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) canned laughter. I don't care for the rest of your opinion but if you think for 1 second that Friends wasn't filmed in front of a live audience then you don't know the difference. The spontaneous reactions from the audience in a tense or uber-romantic scene, or when a joke becomes clearly improvised by the cast and the hyper-intense laughter coming from the audience, actually causes the actors to nearly lose their composure for a split second...Or the unnaturally long pauses they have to take occasionally when a joke makes the audience laugh for a long time..Or when you have a few stragglers who are still chuckling away after everyone else has finished laughing. Those moments don't happen with shows that have canned laughter. The 'emotion' from the 'audience' is never so genuinely felt, and everyone mysteriously starts and stops laughing at the same time.

That where your wrong, I looked up a bunch of reviews for it and they all said the same damn thing, "it's the best show ever" is all I saw, so explain what so bland and boring about it Edited April 18, 2013 by billy james Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
