mojoween January 11 Share January 11 I can’t explain it, but Monica was, to me, the most annoying when she had the short hair. The two things shouldn’t have anything to with each other, but here I am. Like everything she did grated. When she pretended to be Kathy macking on Chandler. When she said “you know I never saw that” about “Sophie’s Choice”. When she had everyone come over after she deep cleaned the apartment and took a nap. Everything she did about Ross and Emily. Washing dishes in Emily’s dress. Sorry but that’s where we are on TBS and it’s all irritating, heh. 1 Link to comment
chitowngirl January 11 Share January 11 I did like the B story with Phoebe choosing between “Chandler” and “Joey” for one of the baby names. Chandler played the long game and won! 3 1 Link to comment
mojoween January 18 Share January 18 When Ross tried to rent the Santa costume the clerk said “are you here to return those pants?” and why? Like, he’s *wearing* the pants. Why would he return them? Why would he rent khaki pants from a costume store? Why is the clerk anti-khaki? 1 Link to comment

The shorter bob she had at the beginning and end of season 4 was nice though. She was someone who could pull off short and long hair, it just depended on how she styled it. 4 Link to comment
mojoween February 11 Share February 11 Who else gets stuff stuck in their heads that’s not even related to what you are doing?

voiceover February 15 Share February 15 A recent trending X topic was something to the effect of, Name that moment from a TV show/movie. Easy enough for me with Friends —from “TOW Two Parties” (the gang throws Rachel a surprise party, and when her recently-separated parents both show up, the friends labor to keep them from seeing each other): Everyone except Phoebe is in the hallway, saying goodbye to Rachel’s mom. Phoebe’s in the girl’s’ apartment, trying to delay Rachel’s dad’s departure. When he brushes past her, she shouts out a warning, and Joey — thinking quickly — grabs Mrs G and starts kissing her, as the rest dance around to distract Mr G as he leaves. That is a wordy explanation of a scene that always has me cry-laughing, even though I know it’s coming. IMO, more of a shocker than that morning- after of Chandler & Monica in London. 2 2 Link to comment

The last time I remember seeing him was the Ms. Pac Man episode while Rachel was pregnanat. I'm sure we're supposed to assume that Ben and Emma saw each other off-screen, but that they didn't want to recast Ben. 3 Link to comment
MadyGirl1987 February 21 Share February 21 I wonder if it's because of Cole Sprouse's schedule. A quick look at his filmography shows him in two films a year in 1999, 2001, 2003 and 2004, along with two TV appearances in 2001. They probably had Ben on as much as they could manage, and honestly, the show would probably have started to turn off people if they focused on Ben and Emma any more then they did. People turned in to see a comedy about 6 friends in the city, not on people raising kids. 6 Link to comment

Anniston is a great actress, and it's great when she gets to be comedic, but I just can't stand Rachel and how possessive she is of Ross there. It is the beginning of how toxic they are together as a couple for me. Both are possessive of each other and will sabotage the others relationship so they can be with them. Look at Ross when he thinks Mark wants to be with Rachel and Rachel getting Bonnie to shave her head so Ross will break up with her and going to London to tell Ross she loved him when he was getting married. Ross is in love with the idea of Rachel he's had since high school/college and Rachel seems to only really want him when she sees Ross in a happy relationship. Ross gets a lot of hate, but it irritates me when Rachel gets off scotch free. In my eyes they are good people but are horrible together and bring out the worst in each other. 4 3 Link to comment

Olis93 May 26 Share May 26 Re-watching the middle of season 3 and I really have no sympathy for Ross when it comes to the breakup with Rachel. This was probably his least likeable stretch of the series. He was so overly possessive and jealous with Rachel and I don't blame her one bit for getting fed up with him, especially when it came to Mark. Sure, Mark was interested in her but Monica said it best, just because he wants to sleep with her doesn't mean he gets to. Rachel never showed any interest in Mark and was never going to jeopardize her relationship with Ross. Mark didn't even try anything until well after they broke up. Let's not forget him flooding her desk with flowers and stuffed animals, the barbershop quartet and picnic/fire at her office, all of which could have easily jeopardized her young career. Kudos to the great acting from Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer though. 7 Link to comment

He didn’t trust Rachel. Chandler had his own host of insecurities, but it was never like with Ross. I’d have to think it through, but my initial guess would be that the difference was Chandler ultimately trusted Monica. It (Of course, in C&M’s case, the one person Chandler was worried about was someone Monica had actually dated and been in love with, so his jealousy wasn’t as insane-looking.) 5 Link to comment

Chandler is my favorite male character on the show for good reason. He was by far the most likeable of the six. Funny, smart and one of the best friends to the others as well. His insecurities just made him more endearing in my eyes and he handled them far better than Ross did. That's also why Chandler and Monica are the best couple IMO. They both complimented and trusted one another while avoiding all the drama of Ross and Rachel. 9 4 Link to comment

With Rachel, Ross’s trust issues were most prevalent but it wasn’t the only relationship he had those issues pop up. Emily was hanging out with Susan in London and he flipped out. Elizabeth was going to spring break in Florida and he flipped out… tried hiding her swimsuit and ended up inviting himself along. That one was… wow. 5 Link to comment
AgathaC May 27 Share May 27 I was in the right age group to be all dewy eyed at Ross and Rachel the first time around. I remember being happy they got together. But when they broke up, I thought it was well-acted, but I kind of shrugged and wasn’t upset. The stuff with the London wedding pissed me off. Rachel going to London? Ross saying Rachel’s name? None of it was the slightest bit romantic to me. It made them both look horrible. Then Chandler and Monica came along and I thought, “ok, that’s what I want!” (On the show and in my life.) Any other teases with R&R just annoyed me. And I didn’t care that they ended up together, but I understood why they needed to end with them coupled. 6 Link to comment

mmecorday September 23 Share September 23 I re-watched the finale over the weekend. I guess the first time I saw it 20 years ago I was so sad that the show was ending, I didn't notice how stunningly awful the series finale was! It's like a "Friends" fanfiction writer was plucked from obscurity to write the ending. Chandler and Monica get not one, but two babies that they barely pay attention to! Rachel gets off the plane! The Chick and the Duck version 2.0 get stuck in the foosball table! I loved this show and it deserved a much better written ending. 2 Link to comment
