Confusing Flashbacks

[LucyCompanyPhan]

you guys definately look into detail. I enjoyed the 80s flashback but I thought it was one of the weaker ones. I would've liked to see a flashback with all of them. Like the Thanksgiving one. I really liked the prom video one and I don't think the 80s one was as funny as that. but a good episode.

I liked that they mentioned the Thanksgiving episode where Monica overheard Chandler call her fat. She lost all the weight between Thankgiving 87 and Thanksgiving 88 to get back at him which means she was in the process of losing weight at this party in their flashback. But wasn't she pigging out at the party still?

Well as far as I can remember (did not think about it till I read the posts) in the first season Monica was 26, she was dating that high school guy who she told she was 22 then confessed she was 26, so 10 years later would make her 36.
Also in the pilot it was like Chandellor never met Rachel before (or acted like he did not recognize her) but later on in flashbacks he met her while she was in high school and then again on the flashback that just showed.

About the age? If the show started in 93-94 then in 87 Monica would have been 20 being 87 to 93 is 6 years, so was she still in High School at 20? Rachel said something about college guys so I take it she was not in college, but she did say she went to college in another episode, the one where she kisses that chic.

It seems that most of their flashbacks are messed up when it comes to detail.

The show started in 94-95, not 93-94.

Read my post again I said "as far as I could remeber", but that still doesnt change much of the errors, okay so 19 not 20 in 87, but still the ages are 10 years + now from the start of the show

okay so 19 not 20 in 87

They could've been like late for their year and depending on birthdays. I have a friend who is going to be 17 this year and shes a sophomore, because she was held back in Preschool or something. so That would make her going on 19 when shes in senior year so 19 years old could work. and if I'm not mistaken Rachel is the youngest out of all of them so that would maybe make her 18 in her senior year so it could work. Then Ross would probably be 20 being one grade in front of Monica possibley and Chandler either 19, 20 or 21.... depending on his birthday. Phoebe is older by the gang by a year and I believe Joey is the same age as Chandler/Ross.

like I said before, don't worry about it! It's just a sitcom with fictional characters, it's not a historical documentary.
