I wouldn't be a massive fan of the plastic surgery look but I think Jennifer Aniston looks OK

So many people have said this. I don't know how though, they always said it was a cast reunion, not an episode. :laugh:

yeah, i'm not excited either way. The show was a special point in time that can't be replicated. Sometimes I think it's best to leave it well alone

They're not replicating, they're reminiscing.

God, yeah, he looked like he'd been dead in a river for 6 weeks.

Lisa Kudrow is the only one who's left her face alone it seems.

Even though it's a reunion not an episode, I'm not a fan of them having so many guests who have nothing to do with the show.

LeatherTrumpet 20-05-2021 06:59 PM

v said this before but every Thursday at like 20:59 i would say to ex-Mrs LT
"right, who laughs first loses"

and we would cave in the first like 30 seconds

it was impossible not to

Next day at work everyone would talk about the episode

It was massive

I agree to be fair - I'd much rather if they'd got a selection of the minor characters/cameos etc. on as guests instead of random "current celebs". Paul Rudd, Tom Selleck, Maggie Wheeler (Janice!) etc.

You could even have people like Paulo, Julie (who recently voiced and motion-captured a character in Ghost of Tushie, as some fun trivia...) ... just a whole "exes" segment I guess :laugh:.

The Inbetweeners reunion apparently didn't turn out too well (I didn't see it).

That's because, like this one, social media got itself in a tizzy of it being a "new episode" that was never promised.

It's funny how many of the guests are still somewhat relevant today - Paul Rudd, Jeff Goldblum, Bruce Willis, Reece Withaspoon...

There was also George Clooney and that other guy from ER as the "hot doctors".

Oh and Jean-Claude Van Damme! The Muscles from Brussels! Filming Outbreak 2: The Virus Takes Manhattan with Marcel :flutter:.

"Can't you see what's going on here? This man is DEAD!"
