Frankie Says Relax!

Frankie Says RELAX!

It was a shirt Ross gave Rachel when they were dating. She loves it. They broke up. He wants it back. She's mad. But their on a break!

But after ten seasons they wind up together (and with a baby). Why? Because their each others "lobsters."

I rewatched "Friends" just like Lindsay. I own seasons 1-6 plus 8. For me season 7 is a disappointment (save for a terrific Winona Ryder). And season 9 and 10 were a bust (but who would turn down $1M an episode?). And okay, Christina Applegate was really funny in her Emmy winning performance.

Lisa Kudrow was by far the best actor of the bunch (I LOVED THE COMEBACK!). And not just because Phoebe was my favorite character.

Courteney Cox was the worst actor. And not just because Monica was my least favorite character (Oh, Cougar Town is so very lame).

My favorite reoccuring character had to be Janice. Why doesn't Maggie Wheeler get more acting gigs?

The clothing is terrible until season four (aka 1997). They all finally look somewhat normal (save Matthew Perry as Chandler from time to time).

All in all - I enjoyed it. I still like the show.

Season 5 was their strongest season.

And if anyone wants to know how Jennifer Aniston became the movie star out of the cast just watch season 8. She won that Emmy for a reason. She anchored the show. She gave funny, nuanced performances every week. Everyone else took a back seat.
