    I wouldn’t want to watch the middle aged friends. They had a good ten year run. I watched Mary Tyler Moore and Rhoda hook up later in life and it was rather sad. I live in the present and don’t go to reunions of my own, so can’t imagine watching a pretend reunion. All about the green…..

    • BossyKat says:

      I’ll say it’s “pretend,” lol. Half the group admitted they don’t see or communicate, and it was heavily implied the guys, especially Schwimmer, can’t stand Aniston. None of them were invited to her little wedding, which seemed odd as they were crying and sobbing on those finale specials pretending they were as good as siblings. Lies. Lol

      Courtney looks so pretty there, you can really see how beautiful she is when standing next to Aniston who’s features are uh..polar opposite. This pic was taken several years ago. She would still look pretty much the same if she hadn’t OD’d on fillers. #sad

        BK: I don’t dislike any of them. They’re just actors. Courtney and Jennifer are still great friends. I have never heard about friction between any of them except what the rags try to generate. I don’t think Courtney is pretty anymore. She overloaded on botox and whatever and looks like the cat woman. Jennifer looks like an older version of herself, natural and pretty, as does Lisa. The guys have aged obviously, but Perry and David look fine, Matt LaBlanc has aged but just won an Emmy a couple of years ago. So no, I don’t find any of them sad, just not a fan of reunions. #bitter

        Yikes! Tell us how you really feel lol

      • doofus says:

        Nancy it is SO SAD what CC has done to her face. she goes from Joker-ish to super face-bloated, back and forth. and I agree that she was the prettiest “Friend”, but no longer.

        Also agree that the rest of them have aged very well…in fact, I never found “Joey Tribbiani” good looking but these days I think LeBlanc looks great, better than the Friends days.

      • kate says:

        According to Lisa Kudrow and Matt LeBlanc they all got together last year for Cox’s birthday and had a blast.

      • Lucy2 says:

        They may not all be BFFs hanging out all the time, but they are all still friends. Courteney and Matthew were just spotted together recently. I’ve heard a lot of actors say they don’t really keep in touch with former costars once a job ends, so I think it’s nice they’ve maintained relationships all of these years later.

    • Jaded says:

      What a sad life you must live. Being in the moment is fine but we are the experiences we’ve had as well as the people who taught us, befriended us, loved us, and vice versa. It’s good to look back to see how far you’ve come, and it’s the only direction we learn from.

  2. Tania says:

    So how many more for Gaga to EGOT? Does she have an Emmy or a Tony?

  3. Naya says:

    Good for Ms Patti. I just hope he isnt after her sweet potato pie money.

    • SusanneToo says:

      Patti, you go, Girl. We’re the same age and I could go 20 years younger, but don’t know about 30. But you, get it.

  4. Rainbow says:

    I ‘ll watch it.

    So Nick Carter has fallen off the wagon again i guess? His addictions have caused him a serious heart condition (cardiomyopathy if i am not mistaken), i thought he was doing better and had stopped alcohol abuse.

  5. Carol says:

    Enjoyed Friends while it aired but no need to see a reunion. Although, I think I might like it if they gave some behind-the-scene stories. Those are always fun. But I hope they never make a Friends “special.”

  6. Ava says:

    Would be funny to see how Jennifer and Matt LeB will act towards each other after his dad confessed they had an affair while she was married to Brad.

    • JRenee says:

      Wow, hadn’t heard that one.

      • desertrose says:

        That’s because its BS.

      • Kate says:

        Yeah, his father who he has repeatedly cut out of his life for selling lies to tabloids.

        LeBlanc wasn’t speaking to his father at the time this is supposed to have happened, he only let him back in his life breifly years later. He then cut him out once more because he tried to make money off his sons name again. If there was any truth to this, don’t you think the father would have gone to the tabloids with it back when ‘the triangle’ was huge and he could have made a literal fortune. Why wait for so many years to reveal that, when he’s spoken to the tabloids quite a few times in the interim?

        The guy just needed money and said whatever would get him the most cash.

  7. AlmondJoy says:

    So. I must confess that I just recently watched my first episode of Friends lol. It was pretty funny I guess. People consider it a classic so I see why they wanted a reunion.

  8. here's Wilson says:

    I’m curious as to what percent of TV/films in the past several years have been remakes, reunions, or sequels. Has Hollywood just run out of ideas?

    I will not be watching .

    • Josefina says:

      Remakes and sequels have always been a thing in Hollywood. The thing is the general quality of films has been lowered, so people are only now starting to notice it.

  9. gwen says:

    Such a shame that Courtney felt the need to mess with such a gorgeous face as we see above.

  10. Tiffany :) says:

    I LOVE the Puppy Bowl! And so does my dog. 😀

  11. Paloma says:

    Matthew Perry apparently will be a no show because of earlier commitment; would be surprised if Schwimmer showed up as he seems to be the one who has washed his hands of anything Friends.

    • lisa2 says:

      I think he doesn’t want everything he does or is doing moving forward to be about Friends. Very smart. He moved on and didn’t live in the past. I think that was very very smart of him.

    • DiamondGirl says:

      It’s not like he’s gone on to anything better – playing Robert Kardashian ? Ewww

  12. someone says:

    Can someone clear this up for me: is this a new 2 hour episode of Friends or is it a 2 hour documentary type panel where they will reminisce about their Friends director? A new episode would be fabulous but just seeing them together on a stage talking about their former director doesn’t sound as exciting.

    • Lucy2 says:

      It’s not an episode of Friends, but a tribute to Burrows, and I’d imagine this will be one of many casts participating. Burrows was involved in Cheers, Will & Grace, many shows. I get the impression it’s going to be a retrospective of his career.

      • someone says:

        I think a lot of people are missing that point. Based on the facebook posts I am seeing, people seem to think this is a new Friends episode.
