Friends Reunion

I can't wait for this, cried watching the trailer 😭 Hate James Corden so I feel like that's what it'll ruin it, plus as pp said, there's alot of pointless celebrities.

I grew up watching Friends and when it ended I got the Dvds for Christmas and I watched them back to back non stop for years. I'm that sad act that can name the episode from one line and pretty much know each episode word for word 😭😂. As much as I'd want new episodes, I don't think it'd work in today's world and is best kept as just the interview.

I can't bloody wait!
 
I cant wait for this! Friends is still my go to show to make me smile when im feeling down, itll always hold a special place in my heart.
Im just thankful its a show looking back on the series and not another episode. No matter how hard they try they'd never be able to create the magic that was friends now.

Yes I watched it on Sky One this morning and really enjoyed it. The guest stars, who a lot of people were dreading (the ones with no prior connection with the show) were inserted into the show really well. Matthew P though is clearly not well. A guy on This Morning said that Matthew had dental surgery not long before filming which may explain, for me, how his mouth didn’t seem right and was less talkative than the others and slightly slurry when he did speak.

My favourite parts were:

the re-enactment of the girls/boys quiz
Lady Gaga singing Smelly Cat with Lisa
Them sat round the table re-reading some of the scripts
Them walking around the sets
The revelation that Jennifer & David had a crush on each other but suppressed it
 
Friends is a bit of an obsession of mine so I was nervous and excited about this. Plus points i loved seeing them visiting the set again and how emotional they were just to be in each other’s company. I also enjoyed hearing from Bright/ Kauffman/ Crane and their insights. I didn’t like all the added filler from other “stars” it doesn’t need anyone else bar the cast for me, they tried to Hollywood it up but IMO it didn’t need it. I wanted to hear more from Matthew Perry he didn’t look at all comfortable being there, but I appreciate him doing it as there would have been no point of one of them wasn’t there. I was a bit floored by the Ross and Rachel real life news I won’t spoil it, but didn’t see that at all! Overall I’m happy we got to see them sitting down together again I just hoped it would have been in a different format, and with someone else than Corden i don't feel he pulled that much out of them! Matt le Blanc hasn't changed a bit and was so lovely to see. Pleased i watched it but equally pleased i can stick a few episodes and go back in time to the very best of them.
 
I’m a huge fan. It has gotten me through some awful times in my life (started watching in 1997 when I was 10) and for that I’ll be forever thankful. The first four minutes or so had me in tears. It was like seeing your real old friends again as sad as that sounds.
Would’ve preferred just the cast, Bright, Kauffman, Crane, the support cast and people actually involved. There was no need for James Corden (who I’m not a fan of) or the celebrities explaining why they’re fans. As fans we’re not interested.
The table reads, the stories and seeing them together on that set was amazing though. ♥️

I’m not sure why media keep trying to explain it away as something it’s not; Matthew has quite openly had some serious addiction issues; it’s unsurprising to me that 20+ years of abuse has left some long term effects. Hopefully he’s feeling good now, he seems like a really sincere and kind man with a few demons.

I was relieved that there was far less James Corden than I was led to believe- much better than I expected as a result!
 
I have just finished watching it. Am shocked at all the surgery they have all had. Lisa and Matt Le Blanc seem to have aged well but the others have clearly all had (not great) surgery at some point. I was shocked at Maggie (Janice). Has she had a nose job? Matthew Perry didn’t seem right either.
I was also disappointed that they didn’t seem to have as much passion for the show as us viewers. It spoils the illusion somewhat. Hey ho, it was a decent show but I wouldn’t have lost sleep if they hadn’t bothered.
