Unpopular episodes you like - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Now we can all agree there are a lot of episodes that are generally well-liked by Friends fans, TOW All The Poker, TOW The Prom Tape, TOW Everybody Finds Out, etc... but what are some of the rather unpopular episodes of Friends that you personally loved?

For me, I will admit that I LOVED TOW The Apothecary Table. I love Phoebe storyline episodes, and her grudge against Pottery Barn is so cute, and I loved the way Rachel tried fooling her into believing the furnature she purchased were antique.

I know that TOW The Sharks is one of the most hated episodes of season 9, I personally got a kick of the "shark porn", I thought it was hilarious. I know a lot of fans consider it one of the worst.

I have stated many times Season 7 is my least fave. TOW Phoebe's Cookies is another one of the weak episodes of the season, mostly with but... I admit to loving the Phoebe/Monica storyline in that episode.

Everything in season nine, TOW The Stain, TOW The Routine, TOW The Apothecary Table.

I dont know who likes what, whats popular, and whats not.

But after watching the first 5 episodes of Season 1, my favorite so far is "TOW George Stephonapolous"(sp?)

usually you can tell by going to Tvtome.com, with "episode rankings", you can see which ones the fans voted on. You can see which ones are wildly popular (TOW The Empryos, TOW The Prom Video, TOW Everybody Finds Out are in the top 10), which ones are unpopular (TOW The Sharks, TOW The Evil Orthodontist, TOW Russ are in the bottom 10) and ones that are smack-dab considered average (TOW Monica's Thunder, TOW The Worst Best Man Ever are in the middle). However, clip-shows are very unpopular, so the bottom 10 has quite a few of the "clip shows" (TOW Mac And C.H.E.E.S.E., TOW Christmas In Tulsa, TOW Joey's Interview)

I actually liked all of seasons 1-6, and I liked the finale.

I just wanted something funny, I thought it was funny, I enjoyed it.

AnaheimPMWitch · 05-31-2004, 02:46 PM

Well I'm more of a Chan and Mon fan myself (or was) so I like all their eps and since I HATED Ross and Rachel my least fave eps where the ones pertaining to them

There are no real unpopular episodes that I like. But one popular episode that I don't like is TOW the prom video. I like this episode ok but I never that it was anything special. I don't think its that funny and Ross and Rachel getting back toghether didn't seem like that big of a deal. I like watching flash backs but the flash back on this episode is pretty short starting in about the 17th minute on the DVD.

Actually, I liked this episode but it's not my favorite. One of the best lines though in that episode is, upon seeing Ross in the video with the really curly hair, Joey says "Looking good, Mr.Kotter", and he says it like Freddie 'Boom Boom' Washington. I remember cracking up when I first heard that and I still laugh when I see it.

I happen to like TOW the Football(or something like that). Entertainment Weekly put out an issue a few years ago rating all the episodes up to Season 8 and they gave that episode a D.

Of course, Monica & Ross competitive(and geeky) as ever.

Monica:Losers walk.
Ross:No, losers talk.
Chandler:No, losers rhyme.

Oh, and Joey(talking to Monica & Ross):There must be a special place in heaven for people who hung out with you in high school.

I can remember not liking Joey too much when I first started watching the show. To the end, he's one of my favorite characters now.

Superbatboy · 06-05-2004, 02:07 AM

A lot of people don't like TOW Monica's thunder, but I think it's hilarious.

rossnrach4ever · 08-18-2004, 02:49 PM

I LOVE TOW MONICA"S THUNDER....everything from the Phoebe songs to the kiss in the hall.. The Phoebe songs are great..whenever i get married guess who won't be asked to sing... somebody named geller and somebody else named bing.the looks on chandler and ross are so hilarious. her other songs are funny too. Chandler's sex problem and Joey trying to be a 19 year old...why would anyone not love this episode...

I love this episode, too!!

slackermonkey · 10-14-2004, 01:35 AM

"The One Where Joey Loses His Insurance." Not really unpopular, but hardly anyone talks about that one.

Also "The One With Ross and Monica's Cousin."

mad4mad · 10-16-2004, 04:49 PM

My favorite characters in order are:
Chandler
Monica
Rachel
Phoebe
Joey
Ross

I think Monica is a very underrated character. She always makes me laugh..especially after the whole C&M romance.

mad4mad · 10-16-2004, 04:57 PM

My all time favorite episode is TOW All the Thanksgivings. I love it so much. The whole thing with Chandler calling Mon fat was so sad and then when she tried to get "revenge". Great one, but not underrated so I'll stay on topic. My favorite underrated episodes are TOW the Apothecary Table, TOW the Cake-->> season 10, idk why but all those lines about the inappropriate cake were so funny to me. TOW Joeys Award is a great one too. I love how Rachel and Phoebe are accepting their own awards. TOW Ross' Tan is funny too bc I always love when Ross makes a fool of himself (i hate ross). Love TOW They All Turn 30 and anything with Tag in it. TOW the Routine has to be my second favorite ever. I love the routine. Its so amazing.
