This.

Aniston is a seething bitch IRL, if the stories of anyone not on the cast of Friends who have interacted with her are true. That's really unfortunate.

I see 2021 bra technology can't hold those nipples back, however. When she and Schwimmer are re-reading the scene leading to their first kiss, she's got her girls poking through that sweater like they're ready for their closeup.

Wonder what the story is with the actor who played Gunther? COVID? Other health problems? He should've been there, otherwise.

The one thing about those six that will never make sense to me is that you see how much they gush about loving being around each other, but while they admit they get together in smaller groups on occasion, there's absolutely nothing stopping them from having gotten in the same room until now.

Each one of them has cleared literally $100M from this show.

That's independently-wealthy, "frick you" money. At any point during the last 17 years, they could get together. Aniston is the only one with a legit movie career, so I can see where she'd be the hardest one to nail down, but everyone else could come to her if they truly wanted to.

Some of it was kind of hacky like the fashion show and Lady Gaga parts, but enjoyed it overall.

If you haven't watched LeBlanc sitcom Man With A Plan give it a watch. Season 1 is a husband/wife comedy but over the next three seasons it morphs into a guy show. LeBlanc, Kevin Nealon, and Stacy Keach are pretty funny. It was canceled by CBS after 4 seasons even though it was one of its highest rated shows. Add in the critically-acclaimed show Episodes and his time on Top Gear, LeBlanc has stayed pretty busy.

Pretty jarring watching them do that table read and seeing them switch in and out from table read recently to the old episode as it aired. How hot Courtney Cox was vs the near goblin she is now. And Anniston who’s had too much work and filler to old Anniston who was IMO the hottest thing alive at her peak.

The saddest part to me was when Lisa tells Matt Perry “why didn’t you tell us?” After he was talking about how nervous he was during taping because of his need to get a real laugh. Pretty sobering to hear her say.

Maybe that’s the reason they allowed China to remove scenes with Lady Gaga…

In China, the special was streamed on iQIYI, Youku and Tencent Video, although the scenes featuring Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, and BTS have been removed. LGBTQ references and references to urine in the special were also removed.

Save for Perry's drug/alcohol addiction that's clearly worn on him ( much like it did with Carrie Fisher ) , the group looks pretty damn good.


Yes. People get old. Even pretty people.

Too bad there wasn't an episode for The One with the Uighur Concentration Camp. That would've been aces for the CCP.

This was good for what it was. Seinfeld reunion on Curb was better.

It makes me wonder if that was part of what led to his addiction issues. Lot's of people use to cope with stress and the show was done just long enough ago that there was still a bit of a stigma for seeing a shrink.

Honestly he doesn't look that bad considering how bad off he was. He's said in the past that he doesn't even remembers doing seasons 3-6 b/c of how much he was drinking and using pills.

I happened to switch streaming from Hulu; they jacked their price and the DVR was so weird. It would not delete shows and had a mind of it's own.

I am now happy with youtube TV for now. I got HBO Max for free for 7 days. I think I watched the reunion.

It was Ross & Rachel's daughter narrating and it was tacky. Very tacky showing Joey banging a very young chick and she made him say 'how you doin' and then she climaxed. No nudity but it was gross.

They say he didn’t really say much or react like Matt and David did. He just kind of sat there and kept his head down pretty much. They may be able to clean him up well enough, but once he starts talking it’s a dead giveaway that he’s had some serious issues.

He also apparently had dental surgery right before the reunion so it's possible his teeth were bothering him. If he's hyper sensitive about maintaining his sobriety he may be the type to refuse all painkillers even if they are prescribed for legitimate reasons.

Recently? Only on the reuinion special. He sounded fine on The Odd Couple remake though that last aired in 2017. He's in an Adam McKay movie that releases on Netflix at some point this year called Don't Look Up.
