Wont take them that long, they're showing 4 episodes a day

Autumn 2011 it changes from E4 to Comedy Central. So they'll easily fit another two or three full re-airs of the show after the current one

Chandler was the funniest, until he got together with Monica. Mondler ruined the character though.

I just started laughing randomly remembering the 'tanning' episode. Now(again) gav thinks Im crazy

The one where he gets stuck in the leather trousers, lol.

Ross was amazing.

Chandler was definitely the best til he got with Monica.

Joey was great but in a different way to the other 2.

Don't find any of the women funny really, Rachel is ok though.

I gave up on that after the first episode. :s

[Vicky.]

I have never even watched one episode of joey actually :/

[Iceman]

It wasnt good but I agree cameos should have been given....

[joeysteele]

I enjoyed Friends but somehow Joey never seemed to work as a series,went downhill from the first episode.

It was nowhere near the best writing ever, but at its height Friends could be very witty.

I hated Ross towards the beginning, such a lanky squirt who whined about everything. I didn't care for his crush on Rachel the first year and then his overbearing jealousy when they got together.
I liked him best when he "mellowed" in season 5 after his 2nd divorce.

Joey I found too exaggerated to be funny by the final season. The Joey speaks French episode is one of the worst pieces of television ever.

The other four I pretty much liked through the whole run at different times.
But that's one of the things I love about it, none of them where given the "main" part it was just a great ensemble. "Joey" proved that none of them worked without the other five.

Yes, in some ways it was good that Joey went ahead. It really showed how much they all needed each other.

Also I agree. Joey in Season 10 was unbearable. He knew what the "animals going to farm" thing meant in Season 1 and he wasn't that stupid, and then in the last episode he just knew like nothing. Ridiculous.

I tend to dislike the episodes with Ross and Rachel together the more I watch them. I love Ross and Rachel together but you want them so much more when they're arguing and when you think they'll get together. When they actually were I was just like, "ugh hurry up and split up".

[Locke.]

Joey was no worse than most sitcoms that are on tv these days

I think they picked the wrong spin off, but all the other Friends were hooked up.

I wanted to see a 'Gunther at Central Perk' show - it could have been the new 'Cheers'.

I agree, definately the wrong spin off.

[michael21]

Rachel should have a spin of

[Kerry]

Watched them all in the 90's and LOVED the show. I doubt I could watch re-runs though oddly

[Smithy]

I never really found Joey that funny, he was just a giant ball of cliché

Phoebe & Chandler >

[Kerry]

Chandler was the best character

[cub]

Chandler Bing ("Actually, it's Miss Chanandler Bong...") was a legend. The only thing was he matured too fast in the last couple of seasons.

i like all the characters equally. my funniest episode was ross getting stuck in the leather pants i cried with laughter every time and ive seen it about a dozen times now and its still very funny as is the spray tan one again with ross

[InOne]

Chandler was the best in the early ones. He seemed to be more witty and loved the fact he lived in a fairly normal apartment sharing and therefore had loads of money to spend. Also them all trying to get him to quit smoking was it. It got a bit rubbish when they all started hooking up with eachother. Expecially Ross and Rachel The whole baby thing annoyed me with Monica and Chandler as well, went on right until the end.
Phoebe and Joey seemed sorta male and female versions of eachother at times, a little bit kooky n that. They had a few good one liners now and then but were never THAT funny. They seemed to get pushed to the back a bit when Aniston and Cox became quite popular. Rachel was one I only liked in the earlier eps, same as Monica. They lost their charm in the later ones so to speak.

Didn't meant to write that much

[Jords]

I watch it now and then when nothing else is on, but Ive never really truely got into it like most Friends addicts have.

[abbey97]

I love friends, the best season for me was 3 with the whole 'We were on a break!'.

Agreed.

I think it could have carried on for longer than it did without getting stale but at least it quit while it was ahead rather than take the Simpsons road to longevity. A Friends film would be wholly pointless unless it was based on the desire to spin a storyline further, rather than as a money making venture (obviously that would be what it was, but I'd hate it to be like 'let's make money out of a Friends film' rather than 'we have an idea for a Friends film, let's make money out of that') so I think it's best to let it lie. I think it's fantastic though, the six of them work so well as an ensemble cast but none of them are really that great to watch in other roles - Lisa Kudrow's probably the most watchable out of the six of them in her other roles because you got to see some variety in her character in Friends (as Phoebe and Ursula) so she's not as definitively typecast IMO.
