Friends reunion

[CdnCarrie]

What did everyone think?

I haven't watched yet. For some reason I thought they were doing another actual reboot show or hour long special or something, kind of like Will and Grace did. From what I saw on an ad, it was more of them talking and reminiscing.

Same. When I realized it was just talking I wasn't as excited to see it, although I plan to at some point.

I enjoyed it, I love behind the scenes stuff and bloopers... and I'm glad they didn't try to write new stuff, I love the show just the way it is

It looks like Matthew Perry has had it pretty rough!

 

[CdnCarrie]

Matthew LeBlanc has gained a lot of Covid weight!
He was no where that big when he was on Man with a Plan less than 2 years ago.

I just finished watching it. I liked it and I am glad they did it, but it didn't blow me away. I liked any of the new behind the scenes footage they showed the best.

Would be interested in watching if I didn't have to pay to do so. If it ever comes to Hulu or Peacock (free version) I'll watch it.

I watched it and I really liked it! At first I was disappointed it wouldn't be a reboot, but now I'm actually glad it wasn't. I think it would have ruined the original.

I really liked the behind the scenes, the bloopers and them rewatching old episodes.

I wasn’t going to watch it because 16 years later, I still have Friends overload. Curiosity got the best of me, especially when I read that it wasn’t an actual episode, more like a reunion. It was pretty good. There was one thing that shocked me (won’t spoil it).

I just watched it and laughed all the way through it. I loved the way they brought back certain guests!

Same. I watched it while it was on but how crazy popular it is NOW almost made me hate it. I really enjoyed the reunion though and found myself laughing and crying with them. I forgot that they really were great friends off the show and was telling my DD how they would negotiate their contracts all together. They were all in or all out. Also forgot how cute Matt LeBlanc was back in the day. I think it would have ruined what it was by trying to recapture it. I’m glad they did it the way they did.

Can’t you do a free trial?

I watched it. Enjoyable, but a little dull. I like when they were just talking in the group of 6, sharing memories. Could’ve done without the celebrity appearances that were not on the series.

Last month I watched The King of Queens zoom reunion. That I enjoyed because they just chatted about the series and then did a table read of an entire episode. I liked when Friends did the table read too. Would’ve liked a whole episode of that.

I just finished watching it. I enjoyed it very much. It looked like they were having a good time.

As a white woman in my mid 20’s when the show was popular, I was in their perfect target audience. I had a couple friends who would watch it every week. I tried to watch it a few times, but thought the whole show was just not entertaining at all; never got the hype.

Am I alone in this? I cringe at it.

I mean you're posting on a thread about the reunion, so you're probably not gonna get much agreement here, although obviously you are not alone in the world in that opinion. I was much younger than their target demographic at the time but I still think it is absolutely hilarious. I still laugh every time I watch.

 

[spiders]

I thought it was funny. They probably could have edited down a bit to maybe 75 or 90 minutes though.

In case anyone doesn’t know, if you’re on an unlimited data AT&T plan then HBO Max is included.

On this thread, probably. And honestly unsure why you commented on the thread about the reunion when I’m guessing you didn’t watch it.

In any case, I was their target audience then and found it hysterical. I still find it hysterical. My 17 year old binged watched it all over quarantine and finds it hysterical. So while you certainly aren’t alone in your thoughts, given their successful run, I’m going to guess you’re in the minority. I personally think it was an great show.
