Memo to producers of “Friends”:
You rode the Monica and Chandler relationship arc into the ground, and it appears you’re willing to do the same with the Ross/Rachel baby plot (unless Ross really isn’t the father, and you’re planning to trick us again, which would be mean). As my alter ego Chandler would say, could another sitcom baby plot be any more lame? At first I thought this would be a good way for Ross and Rachel to finally get back together for good, but they’ve both become so unlikable in the last year or so, I realized I didn’t want to see a whole season about them.
How about this – use this season to focus on your most overlooked characters: Phoebe and Joey. As the only two likeable characters left among the six, we deserve a little more time with them. Lisa Kudrow especially has done some amazing work sandwiched between the “A” plots – remember her fake seduction of Chandler? Fantastic. And I don’t mean a relationship storyline; just give them some interesting, funny stuff to do. Make this your last season, and make it good.
Thanks for your time.
My biggest problem with Friends is when they veer off into soap opera territory. They’ve been doing that far too often.
I agree about Phoebe and Joey. They are my favorite characters on the show.
I didn’t watch most of last season mostly due to Survivor. I feel though that I may be in the minority here, but I was pretty excited watching the whole baby thing last night. They got my attention and am now thinking that when Survivor starts next week, that I’ll have to record Friends to see what’s happening.
A very astute observation. I couldn’t agree more. I hate Ross. I wish Marcel the monkey at bit him and given him monkey rabies.
A new Survivor… I’d forgotten!
I have never seen Survivor 1, but I was completely addicted to S2. I can’t wait for the new one.
How do you know these “friends”?
