Friends is 30 years old this year!
 

Iconic….

I remember watching it every week when it was airing for the first time with my best friend, we were still in school [emoji23]

…oh how weird…I was just reading this story on another site…

“Timing Is Everything”: Lisa Kudrow Finds Note Left By Matthew Perry Inside ‘Friends’ Cookie Jar…


Lisa Kudrow revealed that she recently discovered a note left by the late Matthew Perry inside the Friends cookie jar he gifted her after the show’s finale in January 2004. While Lisa did not disclose the note’s contents, she did reflect on the timing of finding it.
“Matthew gave that to me at the end of our last episode,” Lisa told Drew Barrymore on Tuesday (January 7), appearing in an episode of The Drew Barrymore Show.

Drew had asked Lisa if she had stolen anything from the set of Friends, to which the actress teased that she had, but she didn’t want to say what.
As a result, the host wondered about the fate of the “Cookie Time” jar from the popular sitcom, prompting Lisa to confess to the heartwarming discovery.

“I had recently found the note that he had in it for me,” she explained. “I hadn’t opened it up or looked inside of it. But yeah, he did. He had a note in there and I forgot about it. Timing is everything.”
The 61-year-old Hollywood star previously revealed that the “Cookie Time” jar had been a “wrap gift” from Matthew during a 2020 interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
“I mean we were laughing hysterically and crying because it was the end [of the show],” Lisa said at the time of her response to the gift.

The late actor had gifted the prop to his costar in an ode to a scene from an early episode of the show, where Lisa, who played Phoebe Buffay, realized she wasn’t wearing a watch for a scene that she needed to be, so she referred to the cookie jar as a clock, People reported on Tuesday.
Lisa reportedly recalled being skeptical of how Matthew got the jar to gift it, as she said: “The first thing I asked was, ‘This is so nice. Did you get permission?’
“I mean, my car used to get searched every night when I left.”

The cookie jar on Friends was a decorative prop often seen in Monica Geller’s (Courteney Cox) kitchen, the central hangout spot for the group throughout the show, which aired from 1994 to 2004.
In the Season 4 episode The One with Chandler in a Box, which aired in 1997, Chandler Bing (Matthew) used the jar as part of a humorous moment to prove his loyalty to Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc).
The jar became a nostalgic keepsake for the cast, symbolizing the close bond they shared during the iconic sitcom’s 10-year run.

Literally everyone talked about it Friday morning at work. One of the greatest.

I read that the Friends finale aired on CH4 on May 28th at 9pm and was then followed by the BB5 Live launch afterwards. What a night for television :love:

Hate to be out if step with everyone... but I was not really a fan. I thought they were all super-annoying.

I'm going, I'm going......

Could you BE anymore wrong?

Janice voice.... "Oh... my... God

Wow
Moment of silence....for all of us who feel old now :skull: :laugh:.

Never have I ever understood the appeal of this.

I don't find it funny, just stupid.

You are wrong and probably don't have a great sense of humor. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Didn’t he say the same thing about Gavin and Stacey :umm2:

If he did then I rest my case

:laugh:

Oh right so cuz my opinion is different to yours I am wrong and you're right. Makes sense.

Yep, not my thing either

My fave! Was just watching it earlier. It's a go to when I'm down and never fails to lift up my mood. At this point I just recite almost all the scenes!!

Oh they were definitely annoying especially Ross but that was part of the appeal too :joker:

No your "opinion" is so far out of step with the wider world it's rather quaint and unusual. Not that there is anything wrong with that

Tbf…I’m not a lover of sit-coms….especially American ones. The early episodes were a bit hard going but it just got better and better as they all grew into their roles. My boys just keep on watching them time and time again.

Have you watched Schitts Creek Rusti?

So you keep saying.

One day your opinion will pivot

Is it Schitty?

Schitts Creek is a master piece

It won't.

I don't find it remotely funny.

It took a season and a half for me to get into it but it's better than Friends I swear

I love it so much, when I watched the final episode , I straight after put on S1E1 qnd watched the whole thing again, literally loved every character besides Mutt

:hehe:

Sit coms imo aren't that funny.

It's forced, stupid humour.

Being daft for the sake of being daft. It's immature humour.

Barry Humpries was a master of humour, but then a lot of it probably went over people's heads.

Friends is so unfunny they have to add laughing to it. Lol

Have you watched Scitts Creek though? :hee:

That's just the way they filmed sitcoms in the 90's

Exactly
Not sure why people always get harsh with friends, when personally I never understood the appeal of Seinfeld or everyone loves Raymond . But we all have different tastes I guess :shrug: .

I thought it was 30 years last year :conf:

I was a convert to it. Didn't like what I thought it was like, but when I actually watched it thought it was really well-written and funny.

Better than friends?!? Hmm whenever someone says that my default is to think no, just like I say no when people say Seinfeld is better. I'll give it a watch
