I don’t know if you’re the type of person who considers incest a festive topic - maybe we need a new holiday word, incestive - but that’s pretty much the main plot of this episode. “The One With the Inappropriate Sister” (Season 5, Episode 10) I don’t think I’ve seen that segment since it first aired on NBC in 1999.)ĥ. For example, this episode has a scene in which Rachel, Phoebe, and Chandler go to Central Perk and Rachel flirts with Gunther to see if he knows where Monica’s gifts are hidden, but it’s never shown in reruns.

(A side note: It’s amazing what gets cut out for the syndicated repeats that air on TV every day - for time and to fit in more commercials on channels like TV Land and TBS. If two people actually did this on a real-life New Year’s Eve TV show today, the clip would immediately go viral and everyone would be making fun of them on social media with snarky commentary and embarrassing GIFs and a hashtag: #newyearscrazydance. Of course, the highlight of the episode is Ross and Monica’s dance routine. And two, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with Chandler’s A-to-Z bookends! I’d also like to point out that Monica - even though she’s a control freak and high maintenance - is absolutely right when she turns the tree around to hide the hideous decorating job that Chandler, Joey, and Rachel have done. Two things about that subplot: One, Rachel looks in the closet near the window, something that in a later episode has supposedly been locked shut since the start of the show. “The One With the Routine” is also more of a New Year’s Eve episode, as Monica, Ross, and Joey tag along with Janice to be background dancers on Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve (or, as the Australian Janice calls it, Dickin’ Rockin’ Dickie Eve), even if there is a subplot in which the rest of the gang looks for the Christmas gifts Monica has hidden. “The One With Ross’s Step Forward” (Season 8, Episode 11) In other words … they were on a break!Īll ten seasons of Friends are now streaming on HBO Max. Season seven had two Christmas episodes, but the last season didn’t have any because the show was on hiatus until January of the following year. So in the spirit of the season, we’re ranking all ten Friends Christmas episodes from the show’s ten-season run. The show had a gravitas - a smart, likable, solid quality that couldn’t be matched by all the Friends clones that came later or, indeed, that most sitcoms period couldn’t attain. But what makes the Friends Christmas episodes stand out are the same things that make every Friends episode stand out: a great cast, superior writing, genuine humor, and serious moments. Some are great ( Everybody Loves Raymond’s), while some make your teeth ache because they’re so sugary and fake and they take you out of the show’s world and make you vow never to watch that episode again. Of course, nearly every sitcom and drama, from I Love Lucy to South Park to This Is Us, has holiday episodes.
FRIENDS SEASON 8 YEAR SERIES
In real life, the cast members grew and changed too. Some got married and Botox'd (Courteney Cox), took up yoga (Jennifer Aniston), had babies (Lisa Kudrow), and worked through addiction issues (Matthew Perry). Since so many of us grew up with Friends and progressed in our own lives as the series was on air, we thought it'd be fun to look at how the Friends actors aged from the first to the last season. Check out this list and tell us who you think changed the most.We’ve all seen the rankings of the beloved Friends Thanksgiving episodes - for the record, the best one is “The One With All the Thanksgivings,” in which we see how Chandler met Monica and Joey put a turkey on his head - but the show had some memorable Christmas episodes, too. Just as fashion and culture and society as a whole changed over the course of that time, so did the cast of Friends.ĭo you remember what they all looked like during season one? From terrible hair (sorry Joey) to awesome hair (Rachel, every single season), and sort of nerdy ( Ross) to slightly less nerdy (Ross, again), we watched the characters on Friends grow from young to old to, well, "older." The show started in 1994 and spanned the rest of the decade all the way into the early 2000s. We watched the cast of Friends cry, laugh, drink a ton of coffee, and go through a lot (both on and off screen) over their 10 seasons on air.
