Dom's voice is disappointingly bland in real life. Not the heady mix of Alan Moore and Super Mario I had been hoping for.

Fat, greying and struggling for work - would you be Friends with them now?
Me!
Am loving this show more now than I ever did when it was on, it's ridiculous. Am actually excited that there might be a film. Really, I'm pathetic.

friends is still better, as a rerun, than any american sitcom since.

and though i didn't think so that much at the time,- wow, aniston before she stopped eating was some kinda perfect mix of funny and gorgeous that maybe only sandra bullock could even approach during the same time span.

Some day, when the pricepoint drops really low, I'm going to buy the complete dvd series on ebay. It's still as funny to me when I catch it in reruns as it was when it originally aired.
re: Aniston. In the years since, via various tv and print interviews, I've decided she's absolutely the coolest member of the cast by far. She's funny and gorgeous, yeah, but I'd jump at the opportunity to just go eat pizza and talk with her for a couple hours. A totally engaging way about her, that one.

anyway yes friends seasons 1-4 is one of the best sitcom runs in history--seasons 5-10 are still consistently funny and engaging though not great--but is it surprising to anyone that jennifer aniston is the only one who had a career? she and kudrow are by a long shot the two best comic actors on the show

I was reading about the episode in which Brooke Shields plays a stalker. Andre Agassi apparently ran off cause he couldn't face Joey (?) licking Brooke's hand. lol
This is something I'd love to hate and, honestly, I come quite close to it, But I can't fully hate it. It's terribly dated but also there's something really feelgood about this. I hate most of the actors on it (especially Anniston - what an annoying person, godalmighty) but fuck it I can't help liking it in a fucked up masochistic way. And this is why I can't fucking pick a fave cause they are all my least fave. lol

the really early seasons like 1-3 are enjoyable in a different way - stories are genuinely relatable - tone and pacing are warm and slow and the characters are the main reason to watch. jokes mostly serve them.

the last few seasons have better jokes tho - sharper and better timed - but i kinda disliked them becoming brittle, selfish yuppie terrors

I think they evolved alongside the actors. I can't express how much I detest Anniston. lol

chandler's character was totally destroyed and neutered the minute he hooked up w/monica tho

ross series 1-3 great, then awful awful for a few years then last 2 seasons schwimmer just kills tbh.
monica would be found in a bin liner outside day 2 of my own personal friends timeline

later on paul rudd was in it and paul rudd is funny.
i love this show but really have no idea if this is true: apart from the early fugliness (i'm not saying it became super-stylish later, just...), i can't tell 'em apart.
― free the charmless but occasionally brilliant Dom Passantino (history mayne), Thursday, 21 January 2010 13:46 (fourteen years ago) link
ross from monkey onwards was just a kind of hateful side-thought for the writers i think. and he's always been about the only of the male characters that they could actually pin any long story arc on.
― dumb mick name follows (darraghmac), Thursday, 21 January 2010 13:48 (fourteen years ago) link
Chandler gradually learning to be a grown-up was a pretty important story arc. Pity he had to get together with the increasingly repulsive Monica in order to do so.
Joey doesn't make any kind of notable transformation throughout the series, which is kind of the point of his character.
